You're wording it like a single event battle,
"who fired first" And there are generals saying it is offensive, which is enough justification to fear it.
It's them forming on the left border over time. The USA would not tolerate Russia building bases with drones in Mexico. And flying the drones into the US
I'm wording no more than citing you: «...CIA lied about starting the war with Russia, by (...) and firing into Russia, way before the invasion...»
By saying "America would do the same", are you trying to justify governments attacking other countries like some no man's lands just because it's useful for them?
