"NATO did exactly what they recognized for decades would push Russia to invade." Which is nothing.
"Ask how Russia should deal with a foreign power covertly manipulating their neighbor’s politics to elevate Nazis who would go on to bomb Russian speakers." LOL Now you are into delusional crackpot territory.
Wrt doing “nothing”:

Are you a troll, or do you simply not know anything?
errmm, actually, history started in February 2022 ☝️🤓
Putin is a fascist. That is a fact. (so is Trump for that matter) Fascists should be opposed, this is also a fact.
My question is why do you uncritically support fascists?

He's an absolute dictator who has his (serious) opponents murdered. Seems clear to me.
Right, he’s a dictator who was elected by popular vote, because he’s very popular. Russians have good reason to like him: he kicked the Western capitalist neoliberal shock therapy plunderers out of the country (which is also why the West reviles him). It’s still a capitalist shithole, but at least it’s their shithole and not a neocolonized state anymore.
