> As a European, who created this situation? Russia?

Russia. After the US completely rolled over for their demands not to provide NATO membership action plans to Georgia and Ukraine in 2008, because, as Russia claimed, that would be destabilizing. Which Russia followed immediately with an invasion of Georgia in 2008. Then, as soon as Ukraine threw off the Russian-aligned government that had taken power while that was going on, Ukraine in 2014, taking Crimea and invading parts of Eastern Ukraine with both Russian reular forces and Russia-paid mercenaries, which is what turned Ukraine back to seeking NATO membership.


> Problem is. As a European, who created this situation? Russia? Or the US?

I'm not going to argue with you about how Russia was forced to invade Ukraine and commit atrocities there or whatever you're hinting at, my dear fellow European.

Also, stop shifting the discussion and leave your apologetic narratives where they belong.


Russia.


Russia failed to create a convincing casus belli to the rest of the world and seen as the indisputable aggressor pretty much everywhere.


Imagine if Europe hadn't compromised itself with energy dependency on a dictator and was able to stand up against the 2014 invasion. The situation was created at home.


Reversal: The US created it by not nuking Russia off the face of the planet decades ago.
