Scary rationalizations for murder, where do you people come from? Ukraine like other countries can join whatever organization it wants, it is not a reason to murder. "egged on" is not a thing and it is definitely not a reason to murder. Ukraine like the other easter European nations know Russia is violent and aggressive and that is why they wanted to join NATO. The current Russian invasion proves it if any proof is needed. Imperialist Russia simply requesting something from others is not reason to grant the request and certainly no reason for people to be murdered. Any wrong deeds real or perceived by any country at any time are no reason Ukrainians need to be murdered by Russians. US and Biden's supposed arrogance or incompetence did not cause the war. Putin and Russia's choice to violently attack a neighboring country are 100% the reason for war. No one held a gun to their head, they chose violence.
