If They held a war and nobody came, would they go fight it themselves?
As a veteran I am only 'down' with fighting if it is for a good cause, and our British friends can thump chests all they want but NATO has been needlessly poking Russia for decades, it is not a solid 'defence' standpoint as much as our brains want to dumb it down.
Russia did invade Ukraine, but this was in response to NATO and primarily the US instigating the Maidan coup against a democratically elected leader.
So both sides are to blame; if you don't see that it's all a call and response bit of a 'play' then that's too bad.
Life is grey like that, not black and white.
"mad vlad" vs "good ol Ukrainians defending their homeland" it is not.
If anything it is a cornered dog poked by a child with a stick, and manipulated Ukrainians caught in the middle, scrambling to be on the top of their heap.
