Yes because only the USA has agency in this world. Russia didn't choose to invade and Ukrainians didn't choose to defend themselves. As someone from Europe this lack of perspective you showing here is exactly why we are tired of the US atm.
I’d say you lack perspective, this war started in 2014 not when Russia crossed the border. Russia’s agency isn’t going to extend to ignoring existential threats.
Russia crossed the border in 2014, they just lied about it then.
russia has very low bar for "existential threats". in this case it was "neighbors living better than we do"
How exactly was NATO or Ukraine an existential threat? In what way?
You can’t just say “existential threat” and justify everything thing you do while repeating that you’re protecting yourself from [imaginary] “existential threats”
And now you're back-tracking on it so yes, US is extremely unreliable as an ally. I mean nobody is surprised you had some ulterior motive and undermined your geo-political enemies. It's the abandonment of those you supported that hurts US image.
