They are a sovereign country, a sovereign country that stated red lines in regard to their territorial security. The West knowingly provoked Russia by posturing that Ukraine would join NATO.
This is exactly the same reaction the US would have if the scenario was flipped (as stated in the Monroe doctrine). It is hugely hypocritical of the previous administration to pretend that Russia is in the wrong for wanting to secure their border.
Finland's territorial security has been constantly threatened by Soviet Union and Russia since WW2. Does that give us the right to bomb their civilians, or do only big countries with nuclear weapons get to use this logic?
Otoh, I totally get that in 2025 only big countries with nuclear weapons have any say in geopolitics. It didn't use to be that way and I wonder greatly about people who think this is a good change.
Ah yes they needed to invade an another country because they felt threatened. Well I'm glad there was a justified reason for it at least.
And would you have been fine with it then, as you seem to be now? Because I sure as hell wouldn't (and haven't) been.
Being a sovereign country doesn't give you the right to decide what other sovereign countries do. Believing you are entitled to does make you an imperialist. This applies both to the US and Russia.
