The truth lies somewhere in between. Perhaps NATO was too aggressive in some of its actions but Putin too has been a horrible dictator too. I do think that the US and NATO have been arrogant in their actions and not knowing how to handle Putin. You can't just do whatever you want and say "suck it up" to Putin. On the other hand Putin has been horrible to his people and is constantly trying to get more power (as in killing/eliminating his opposition and rigging elections and lying to his people). Sigh. But I believe more communication is needed. You can't just play pile-on with Putin and expect a clean victory. You force him in a corner and who knows what will happen next.
