"By trapping Russia in the quagmire of Ukraine"
Is this a comedy article? It isn't really very funny.
America didn't "trap" Russia into anything. Putin chose to invade Ukraine.
In particular, your argument, "Russia had to invade Ukraine, even though they had been turned down for NATO membership, just in case one day Ukraine did get NATO membership" - I can't believe anyonre could possibly be so morally bankrupt to make this argument.
"Why did you burst into my house and kill people?" "Well, I was worried you were going to put bars on your windows, so it's your fault." This is your argument, and it's just evil, I don't have a better word for it.
Looking at your posting history, it's all pro-Russsian propaganda, all the time.
It's disgusting. It's filty. How can you justify murder, rape and devastation at an industrial scale by, "The Ukraine might one day have joined NATO, so Russia gets to destroy it?"
What sort of sociopath justifies mass killing by an empty hypothetical like that?
You're a bad person, and you should feel bad. Every mirror you look at should scream at you, "APOLOGIST FOR MURDER! DECENT PEOPLE BEWARE, THERE'S A MONSTER IN YOUR MIDST!"
