Do you mean to say, Russia is doing the exact same thing the US-NATO did in the Middle East? Your analysis is the most logical explanation I've come across. I have a hunch Russia used NATO expansion in Eastern Europe as an excuse to invade, and the NATO profits blinded the Democrat weapon manufacturing elites from thinking.

Meanwhile, the Republican fossil fuel owners want a war with China, and a fight among the American elites unfolds before us. All wars are the same; governments and global elites securing natural resources.
