I don't take you for anything, I'm just saying that viewing this conflict in isolation, as if this conflict is about a land grab (because Russia needs more land 
) while admittedly is very beneficial for propaganda, couldn't be more erroneous.

So, they don't want natural resources, one of the biggest deposits of iron ore and a decent amount of uranium, to name a few. Russia also doesn't want easy access to the Black Sea and the largest power plant in Europe, not to mention the second largest Black Sea port in Odessa. Nobody cares about petty things like that.

Expanding military alliances that attacks other countries without UN approval,
You know damn well that UN votes are a joke since permanent members can veto any UN resolution and guess who is one of the 5 permanent members

The root cause seems to be the brainwashed thinking that status quo should be changed and NATO should spread to Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Taiwan etc...
Why do you mix together countries with different politics and ambitions. For instance Belarus doesn't want to be a NATO member, contrary to Georgia and Armenia, but they aren't being asked by NATO to join. It's not NATO that is coming to them, but they're trying to get into NATO. Why is that? What are they so afraid? Maybe they don't want to become a part of the Soviet Union again?
