>Russian generals have shown enough restraint to not nuke Kiev into fucking rubbleThey've been threatening to use nukes since 2014, haven't done so and will not resort to it. They are threatening nukes every 5 minutes to the point where nobody gives a shit about these threats.
>aggressive alliance like NATOIt's a mutual defense treaty, retard. Name 1 time NATO was the aggressor, retard. That's right, you can't. Countires entering NATO want protection from aggressive imperialists like Russia and China.
>encroaching and supporting coups in their neighborhood like thisOh wow, countries want protection from an imperialist regime that treats them as lesser subjects after they've declared independence and threatens to "bring them back into the fold" and destroy their national identity? Nah, it must be coups to take them away from the loving embrace of their past oppressors. US has never entered military alliances to protect its independence...oh wait.
>promised after Cold War to not encroach any further eastNo they did not, retard. ANY country is free to join, it's their decision.
>moving in millions and millions of troopsThis isn't ww2 retard. Also, stationing troops in protected countries? Shocking!
>while getting rid of any elements in former Soviet countries' governments who might want to have a good relationship with RussiaThe remains of politburo and KGB/GRU that push Russian imperialist agenda while trying to convince their people that they are inferior to Russians? Nah, fuck them, pack up and fuck off to Lubyanka.
>Try this shit on China, I fucking dare you.Taiwan does. Still hasn't been invaded.
>Any country other than Russia would have declared a total war on the United States and their dogs by now.Russian state media has been trying to sell copium to their public that they are actually fighting NATO right now, in Ukraine. They can't cope with the fact that their blitzkrieg has failed, so they are huffing copium.
