Rollout the whataboutism!
russian federation was created in 1991.
Since then russia occupies entirety of Ichkeria, parts of Moldova, parts of Georgia, and parts of Ukraine
What lang grabs does US got since 91?
If you want to go before, russian occupation called 'ussr' and 'russian empire' caused pretty much unparalleled suffering and extinsions of peoples. But also, we are talking about current events. Past brutality is poor justification of current actions

Dumbest take ever. Before russian fascists invaded only military base Ukraine hosted was russian.
A simple search supports my argument:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine%E2%80%93NATO_relations...
Also go back and listen to old speeches and interviews by Putin and Lavrov. They have been crystal clear about that fact, saying it openly that they will even invade if NATO tries to get too close.
I empathise with the Ukrainian people who are the ones that have to suffer from these power games, but I place a lot of blame to NATO.
