I agree. Nobody wants to examine Russia's view on this.

I blame Putin for the war by and large; he wants to restore the old Tsarist territories to Greater Russia. But the Russians do have legitimate causes for concern.

Lew Rockwell observes:

At a moment when American intelligence officials are reporting that Mr. Putin thinks he is winning the war, the strategy is to drive home the narrative that Russia’s military adventure will be ruinous, and that it is a conflict Mr. Putin cannot afford to sustain.”

Let’s make sure we understand this. Critics of US policy have pointed out for a long time that America has surrounded Russia with nuclear bases. It helped overthrow a pro-Russian government in the Ukraine. Naturally, this made Putin nervous. He does not want an invasion of Russia though the Ukraine, as happened in World War II, when Russia lost millions of lives. Now, the brain dead Biden gang of neocons is saying to Putin, "You are exactly right! We do want to degrade Russia to a minor power and use the Ukraine as a base for attack!”
