It's interesting to see this framed as "Putin is starting a war in Ukraine because he wants to expand Westward", vs Russia's own narrative that it is merely stopping NATO's expanse eastward.

Anyway, I think Putin's aggression is a very bad thing, but I worry about hawkish posts like this that frame it as "we have no choice but to engage in armed conflict". THAT is how you get WWIII.
