As a "west" citizen, I have a question. I know NATO was formed by the USA, for the cold war against the USSR. I also know that the "Cuban missile crisis" was just a response to USA's missiles on Turk soil that were aimed towards the USSR. Then the USSR dissolved and this was said to be the end of the cold war. But... was that statement true? Let's forget about the western mass media narrative of "Putin wants to bring the USSR back and so just decided to invade Ukraine for no other reason" and see what the actual facts have to tell us.
1)Although the cold war was said to have ended, NATO still exists like 30 years after that. And not only does it exist, it is even trying to expand into Ukraine. It has already expanded into all three Baltic States, it has Poland, it has Nazi Germany, it wants to add Sweden and Finland... To me, this looks like an attempt at encircling Russia. The question here is why.
2)Communism in the Soviet Union actually ended as soon as Stalin took over and has never really been back since then, yet the main face of communism according to the NATO narrative is Stalin, who was even friends with Hitler before the latter launched a surprise attack on the USSR during WW2. Stalin was a far-right politician, the only difference being that he never took imperialist initiatives. All he did in WW2 was to respond to the nazi invasion in his country. The Red Army went into Berlin for one and only reason: to make sure there wouldn't be another such invasion. It was purely a defence act.
3)Speaking of history, Ukraine is especially important to all Eastern Slavs. Look up Kievan Rus'. There it is evident what NATO is trying to take and why Putin has to defend it. I don't like Putin overall, but in this case NATO is just being overly aggressive, most probably in a desperate attempt to justify the anticommunist propaganda that for some reason is still going on, even though communism is virtually nowhere applied exactly because the USA have quite a habit of installing far-right regimes wherever they possibly can and by whatever means they might find at hand - so using "democracy" as a facade is a rather risky pick as far as I can tell. The USA even installed Hitler in Germany, just so WW2 would happen as it did. Why do you think the USA put sanctions on Castro's Cuba? Anticommunist politics it is. All the rest countries of South and Central America at that time had far-right regimes, all installed by the USA. Even the USA themselves are dominated by the far-right and have no left wing at all. This is all a result of anticommunist propaganda, which stepped on a deliberate misinterpretation of George Orwell's relevant work. This propaganda is still going on, although there is pretty much no real communism left on the planet - so its purpose now is to keep people from learning actual history, in fear of all those nazi regimes being thrown over.
So yes, the cold war is still going on. The real nazi are the USA. I sincerely hope this war will not have to expand, but am afraid this could depend on which NATO countries send forces to oppose Russia. If Putin is actually an imperialist and the NATO heads know it, then NATO is deliberately causing a world war three. However there is no proof that he is, as for both the Crimea invasion and this current case he was provoked to defend against NATO initiatives. But, if for example Greece sends forces to counter Russia and Putin responds by nuking Athens, then yes, we will have proof that he is an imperialist. Do we normal people want something like that to happen? No. But the USA (who command NATO, let's be honest) are indeed risking it. Which means they want to gain something of it. But what is it? Are they planning to take Russia itself into NATO? And why is it? Do they honestly think Russia is communist? No, that can't be. The only real option therefore is that all is being done for the sake of anticommunist propaganda aimed at the masses. No wonder even nowadays most people in NATO countries are still in the delusion that Russia is communist. Although in truth, communism up there ended just as soon as Stalin took over and has yet to return. A good example of communism after Lenin's USSR was Tito's Yugoslavia, which thrived both economically and socially... and then NATO installed nazi in Serbia and Croatia, started the breakup wars and bombed the Yugo factory among other such "targets". As a side note here, I will mention that Tito and Stalin hated each other...
