I believe in the case of Ukraine we pushed into Ukraine first......the bio weapons labs Russia found are a concern. They're were reportedly mixing up a bio weapon that targets ethnic Russians.....and they were warned against NATO expansion into that area and totally ignored the waring.....so there's that.
Wait, I think I'm onto something:
Stalin pushes NK into South Korea and then the US builds a shit ton of bases in South Korea.
Khrushchev pushes the VC into Vietnam and then the US builds a shit ton of bases in Vietnam.
Gorbachev pushes into Afghanistan and then the US builds a shit ton of bases in Afghanistan.
Putin pushes into Ukraine and then the US builds a shit ton of bases in Ukraine.
Maybe if Russia gave up on expansionism then there wouldn't be so many bases at the borders.

If they built the labs in Venezuela would that give Brazil the right to roll tanks?
Basically, why does Russia have any claim over what goes on inside Ukraine's borders?
Can Canada invade the US because they don't like the Mississippi River being poisoned with lead?
If you cook something I'm allergic to, can I bomb your house?
