Yeah, no superpower would ever be bothered by another superpower wanting to put bases and missiles next to them....

Except there were no missiles in Ukraine, nor any plans to put them there.

And Ukraine's NATO membership application was rejected, by NATO, 16 years ago.

Your analogy holds no water whatsoever.

Even Putin himself debunked the nonsense tall tale about NATO expansion. Are we expected to keep pretending this is a concern?
