Being forced to fight by their invaders, yes I agree with that.
If it was a fight NATO wanted why did Russia start it? Is Putin a CiA plant? Or did he fall for their tricks?
Again you keep trying to shift blame away from those directly involved. It makes no sense to jump past the actual actors to go after someone on the sideline.
Russia wanted this fight because they wanted more land. This is proven by their actions over the last 8 years.
Ukraine wanted this fight because they want the Russians out of their territory.
Any argument that doesnt include those two, or really start with them, is biased BS. It's really humourous that you cant get past your boogey man to address the facts. Russia invaded Ukraine. It really doesnt matter why, Russia did it.
