Or one can claim that there was no problem in Europe, and how France, Germany and all of EU were growing and all cool with Ukraine and Russia and the status quo before US decided to issue their freedom coup cookies in 2014. Then you yell but what about freedoms (of course exclusively for non US aligned governments), and we're back to the logic of how "freedom" can conveniently be used as justification for US to start any war it wishes. I mean US gets to undercut competition from EU, EU becomes fully reliant on US, Military-industrial complex is happy, with a possibility of collapsing Russia, it's a win/win/win/win. If that doesn't work or Russia just ends up winning too fast, rinse and repeat send freedom cookies (with weapons) to Moldova/Belarus/Kazakhstan/Georgia/Taiwan (you know cause Americans just care so much about spreading freedoms to those countries)
One can claim any stupid shit, but Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, Ukraine did not invade Russia. Same in 2022. No amount of strawmanning/whataboutism can justify feeding parts of sovereign countries to the fascist Moscow regime just because Putin is stuck in his imperial delusions.
You forgot to mention China's nuclear weapons in Mexico, you're slipping.
Offer Taiwan to join NATO, or start sending weapons to them (you know for defense of course), sit back and watch the fireworks, makes sure to prepare "but China invaded Taiwan, Taiwan didn't invade China" statements. Start a war and get the freedom spreader support, two birds with one stone!
