That word "unprovoked" is... loaded. Here's a definition:
> (of an attack, or a display of aggression or emotion) not caused by anything done or said.
Stepping out of the current climate, one might characterize NATO's relentless, creeping eastward expansion right up to Russia's border as something that might provoke a response. The Monroe Doctrine defines two entire continents as the US sphere of influence. The Cuban Missile Crisis demonstrated the US commitment to nuclear war if need be to avoid the placement of hostile forced on its borders.
This is not what people want to hear right now. But it is exactly what they should be hearing.
This lecture might be eye opening if any of this sounds contrived or like propaganda.
