The Russian president Putin is using this war against the good people of Ukraine to bow to his plan and that they should not even think of joining NATO.
I've read of the opposite.
It's the NATO/US that's been doing it wrongly. They're trying to put up those arms at the border of Russia for their own gain and that's what Russia has been angry about.
While the other border and neighboring countries to Russia, it had given a warning that they shouldn't join NATO and whichever country steps in to help Ukraine, they'll also attack them.
Too many money are flowing into this war.
