    I’m confused from where you are drawing that I said that

    It’s more that NATO shouldn’t be (and isn’t really) surprised.

    I never said or implied what actions they should or shouldn’t take or anything. Where are y’all getting this?

      You’re shifting the framing to “NATO is escalating the conflict.” Motherfucker, Russia can deescalate any time by leaving. Why is the onus on everyone else to not cross any red lines?

        I mean it’s definitely not a statement of right or wrong to suggest that taking a new, further step is an escalation above the previous situation.
