We can look back on the history of the two nations, and we can look on the history of Israel's genocide of Palestinians. The major difference is that Israel was formed as a genocidal ethnostate on Palestinian land, whereas the invasion of Ukraine seems to be a proxy war for the US to carve out as many IMF loans as possible while Russia tries to thoroughly demillitarize Ukraine.
Why did Palestine strike back against Israel on October 7th? Why did Russia invade Ukraine?
Russia invaded Ukraine because Russia is out for global domination. It’s obvious.
It’s “obvious” only if history began on Feb. 24, 2022.
NATO expansion:

NATO in general:

The Maidan coup and fascist paramilitary attacks on eastern & southern Ukraine:
Ah yes the great nato sob story. Because land barriers matter to a country with nuclear deterrence.
The changes made to appease Russia after the invasion of Georgia in 2008 are missing from your lists there… I guess because it goes against your narrative and exposes this idea as insane.
If that were true, then why did the Cuban missile crisis happen? And didn’t the Kursk incursion disprove the theory that nuclear weapons guarantee deterrence? This is as much about NATO placing nuclear weapons to within minutes of Moscow and other major civilian centers and strategic locations as it is about the three times that Russia was invaded via Ukraine in the last two hundred or so years.
Easy, limited range on the missiles.
The nukes sent to Cuba through Operation Anadyr were because
The Soviets were responding to nuclear arms the US placed in Turkey and as a response to West Germany violating the agreed upon borders and placing a NATO base in East German territory, and
To prevent a full-scale invasion of Cuba that the US was preparing for.
