Just because it's a NATO proxy war, doesn't mean NATO started it. Not saying they did this, but even if they were initially in wrong and bribed and coerced Russians into starting the war, Russia could have pulled out at any time, and no one is making Russia commit war crimes.
Good point, but they legitimately think NATO did some psychic 5D chess to force a war.
NATO: "We let countries decide for themselves whether they want to join a defence alliance or not."
Russia: "We will not let countries decide for themselves whether they want to leave our circle of influence or not."
Yeah, next level tactics by NATO.
Edit: counties
Nooooo you don't understand!11! If Russia lets them make their choice then NATO and the EU gives them unfair things like free access to the world economy! NATO and the EU aren't playing fair. And obviously their long standing offer to Russia to knock out it off and join the world economy is just a trap!
