NATO is currently fuelling the conflict and fighting Russia in a proxy war at great cost to Ukraine. This isn't something that happened in the past, NATO is playing a direct role in the atrocities today. Of course, this doesn't justify what Russia is doing, but it takes two to tango. My original point is that the west chose to escalate towards conflict instead of pursuing diplomacy. Now there is a war in Europe and millions of people are suffering. Yet, the west continues to fuel the fire bringing us to the brink of global annihilation.
