Are you saying Russia is not a bad actor here? I'm not very convinced by your arguments.

  Does “bad” have some technical definition here? Or are you just expressing dislike for the Russian regime and its actions?

  All I'm saying is that they have legitimate national concerns here. There are distinct parallels to the Soviets trying to put missiles in Cuba. I don't have to be a big fan of Putin to recognize this. Interestingly, at least I am making arguments. The media narrative of Putin simply being crazy is deeply unserious. But if Russia is the bad actor here for invading a neighboring country that was attacking ethnic Russians in their territory and was flirting with joining a specific international coalition that was anti-Russian, what does that make the United States with all of our foreign adventurism?
