You are very sure that your sources aren't lying to you. If you are interested in going down a rabbit hole, here's a good starting point. https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/nato-75-russia-programs/2024-07-09/nato-russia-charter-1997-was-forced-step-said https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/nato-75-russia-progr... The year is 1997, but the conflict started much earlier than that, during the fall of the Soviet Union. For all the brainwashed and self-righteous: feel free to hit the downvote button. I won't respond to stupid questions along the lines of "how is this relevant", "whataboutism", and so on. You can read.

Oh I'm quite certain that many of them are. But I appreciate the thought.

I won't respond to stupid questions along the lines of "how is this relevant", Which is a pretty strong indication that it most likely isn't.

  You can go to youtube and search for "prof.Mearsheimer about history of Ukraine conflict" or something like this. This guy is a USA professor that specializes in international relations. He was warning for years that USA course of actions will result in Russia Ukraine war. And he has multiple videos explaining in details the history and how step by step we ended with this war, what could've been done to prevent it, and what steps actually made it inevitable. The main thing is that what he tells is true, well known to Russians, but it's that other side of the story, that is wiped and generally not allowed in Western mass media, so most of USA and other NATO countries citizens are totally unaware of it.

    One could, but Mearsheimer is a crank, and Youtube is notoriously full of disinformation of all sorts. So most of USA and other NATO countries citizens are totally unaware of it. They're perfectly aware of it, because the Russian narrative has been echoed and propagated incessantly by left- and right-wing news outlets and social media commenters ever since 2014.
