I didn't just mention hatred. Logically, this is not a reason to attack, of course, there is more. But fairy tales about evil NATO are ordinary lies and excuses. The aggressive and imperialist nature of the Russians themselves plays a major role.
I never said evil NATO. NATO is being geopolitically reckless and naive.
Russia's imperialist nature is not relevant. Putin is not Peter the Great or Stalin.

Yes, he is more like Nicholas I, who made imperial wars to conquer new territories (Russo-Persian War, Russo-Turkish War, crushed Polish uprising) until he lost Crimean War.
