This entire tragedy was avoidable if the West had bothered to treat Russia’s security concerns as legitimate.
Instead, blinded by arrogance and the delusion that Russia was too weak to matter, they tried ramming NATO expansion down Moscow’s throat and this is the mess they created.
It’s going to be a bitter dose of reality when it sinks in that Russia has come out on top.
Good luck to the Western political class trying to spin this humiliation to their own citizens.
Although, what am I talking about? Western audiences will swallow any crap from TV and ask for more.
