I dont think Russia was threatened by Ukraine, but NATO and more specifically the US. How? What specific steps did the US/NATO take in your view, that were equivalent to "putting your hand in a cage with the rabid dog"? Or per your other post, tell us, please -- how, exactly, was it "pointing a gun" at Russia? Also per your other post: My point is that the current situation was entirely predictable, and in fact, it was widely predicted. Okay - so who predicted what, and when? Tell us please where they said: "If the US/NATO does X, there will be war" and then the US/NATO followed that up by doing X. With careful attention to what X, actually, and in fact, was. And what actually happened afterwards.
