The US did not force Russia to attack Ukraine. Attempting to blame the US for Putin's actions is an impressively wild take.

Russia has alternated between being an unreliable partner and an explicit enemy of Europe depending on the whims of whichever dictator currently runs it for a long time.

Germany lost out on the Nord Streams because they were stupid enough to base their energy policy on a country run by a bunch of thugs and criminals.

> But the US did not like that. The US turned Ukraine into a big thorn against Russia.

Was it the US that annexed Crimea?

Was it the US that financed and supported the separatists in Donbass?

Was it the US that started the largest war in Europe since WWII?

That's not a perspective I share.
