Russia is a country that always "defends" itself

yet somehow this always involves tanks, bombings, and the occupation of foreign territories. Poland (1939), Finland (1939), Hungary (1956), Czechoslovakia (1968), Afghanistan (1979), Georgia (2008), Ukraine (2014, 2022) — in every case, they were "forced to defend themselves." How many more times can they be "provoked"? Maybe it's time to admit that there’s only one real aggressor here?
