Russia didn't need to invade....but it's not "as simple as that".
You can't separate our county's behavior from the reaction it causes in other countries. Russia invaded because of NATO's expansion. MFers in the US just couldn't let there be a balance of power. They "poked the bear" if you get the dual meaning of that phrase, and then act shocked and surprised when they get a reaction. Well, no shit.
America has the "Monroe Doctrine" right? I'm sure you learned about it in high school. Same idea, but Russian and for neighboring countries. It's not like it's a secret, this has been an issue since the Warsaw Pact disintegrated.
