How do you arrive at the position that the US and NATO "goaded" Putin into invading Ukraine? As I recall, he was massing troops on the border before the US started stating he was going to invade. How is that goading?
I've long thought that NATO membership beyon dthe firs three and the Baltic nations was presing to hard. The November 10 2021 Charter on Strategic Partnership qualifies as a goad, though it did not warrant the Russian invasion.
