NATO’s expansion provoked the war

True. Putin got maneuvered into firing the first shot, and he had no idea how bad a hand he was holding.

Russia's nukes are their only claim to 'great power' status. Now they've gotten much of their military torched fighting against old Soviet gear and western ATGMs and munitions.

How embarrassing.

"NATO’s expansion provoked the war"

Sure, and NATO forced Russian troops to invade and annex the Ukrainian Crimea in 2014. \sarc

Let's get all this Russian propaganda out in the open.

No Putin’s lust for the old times provoked the war. He used NATO as an excuse and Nazis.

[Lumper20]

Eisenhower specifically said-”NATO is to end in 10 years.” We have been in Germany, France, and others since the end of WWII.

These people need to protect themselves and PAY for it.

We are still in South Korea and other countries.

[Destroyer Sailor]

No a Russian history of taking over its neighbors inspired Ukraine to seek NATO membership for protection.

[Nifster]

No

Putin’s ego started this debacle

[Pikachu_Dad]

Were NATO’s dresses to short? She showed too much skin and ‘provoked’ the rape?!?
