As you speak of “decades of NATO expansion”, I was living in Poland since my birth and yes, I’ve seen it all too. I’ve seen Russian army leaving Poland in 1993 and then promptly returning to revanchist rhetorics in the following year when they started the war in Chechnya, with their politicians like Zhirinovsky literally threatening former Soviet bloc countries like Poland with repeated annexation. This was, to be honest, the best advertisement for NATO - when Poland applied to NATO in 1996, and it did so voluntarily, it was supported by like 80% of the people. And it was all caused by Russia’s threatening, neo-imperialist rhetoric. If these fuckers behaved like humans, without their usual “we own you” flexing, there would be no appetite for NATO at all. Unfortunately, Russians do have this incurable small dick complex which they compensate by threatening all surrounding countries with “owning them”. They can’t produce anything useful and exportable, so instead they export instability just like any decent gangster.
