Crispy Branzino (nprofile…67jy) the most frustrating thing is that Ukraine wasn't considered a likely NATO member state, nor was it publicly popular in Ukraine... until 2014.
Russia's annexation of Crimea changed public mood in the country and was the first time NATO membership became a favoured option.
US/Western imperialism is bad, but Russia's concerns about NATO expansion are rooted in their own imperialist-revanchist policies. It's not unreasonable for a violated country to seek mutual defence pacts.
