With all respect, this shows a lot of lack of recent history. It was Merkel and other leaders who tried to get closer to Russia, and Russia was part of the NATO accession program up until 2008, when they bombed an apartment complex. It was Obama who after that, tried to reset the relationship. Russia was welcomed in the economic program and many ties were forged so to get closer (like the OSCE) and to prevent what was happening, right now.
When in 2014 Crimea was annexed, this was a clear breach of trust on the side of the Russians, and the deals and cooperation agreements that were made.
Nobody in Europe wants the war, but we all fear that Russia won’t stop at Ukraine. Their policy is very clear.
Now you can argue that Russia seems NATO as a threat, but they could have been part of it.
If you can please read the Russia analysis above, it’s very well researched and shows where Russia coming from, and also possibly how we can move forward.
