This war wouldn't have even happened in the first place if not for the United States.
Ah yes, history started in 2022. Mind reminding me by whose sabotage caused the Soviet Union to be illegaly disbanded? Because guess what, this story starts in 1989 and context for many of it's intricacies begins for a few cases even earlier. Including the Nazis of Ukraine and why they are so prominent in our (Hexbear and Lemmygrad) discussions.
Geopolitics and conflicts aren't defined by boots on the ground action, that is just an end stage and consequence of escalating actions done beforehand. So no, there is no NATO soldiers in the room with us right now. But there is plenty of high ranking officials, military and not, who have been cooking this proxy war for a while now and the consequence is Russian aggression and deaths of thousands.
All of this could've been avoided. But you don't care. You just want to be above them morally, as that's all that matters for you. Being on the "good team", like it's sports.
"Can you see those aggresive ruskies? Killing innocents without reason! At least we aren't like them!"
Ironic amd sadening.
Are the high ranking officials in the room with us now
