NATO and Russia have a recent history.
1949 to present
That's just the latest chapter in the historical novel, these things don't exist in a vacuum
This new special relationship between Ukraine and NATO is a new chapter
The color revolution in 2014
All these actions are provocative
Have you heard or read John Mearsheimer?
Russia has been under constant invasion, NATO is not special
Swedish Invasion (Ingrian War) - 1610–1617 Polish Invasion (Polish–Muscovite War) - 1605–1618 Swedish Invasion (Great Northern War) - 1700–1721 French Invasion (Napoleon's Russian Campaign) - 1812 Crimean War - 1853–1856 (involvement of British, French, and Ottoman forces) German Invasion (World War I) - 1914–1917 Allied Intervention in the Russian Civil War - 1918–1922 (involvement of British, French, American, and Japanese forces)
John Mearsheimer
Actually caught some lectures by him recently, for the most part we're on the same page... this shit is nothing new

von Clausewitz shit
The only question is how it ends now that weapons are too powerful for all-out war for control over the Eurasian landmass
