Well, we have a politician right here right now that isn't the most virtuous individual ever to be in the position of highest power in our own government. The world stage and actions of nations are the final arbiter of all the machinations in politics.
And any politician of Ukrainian heritage would know of its relationship with Russia that aligning with NATO would be tantamount to serious consequence. As Sachs points out in the article, Russia was not interested in what alignment Ukraine had with western economic countries. It had signed a "lease" since it had from the 18th century to the critical Black Sea port in Crimea. It was pursuing negotiations with Ukraine for the civil war in eastern Ukraine.
You pursue the character of Putin and the novi-russki to paint a sinister backdrop to what led up to this conflict. Without acknowledging all the evidence of what the United States and Britain were up to in regards to NATO encirclement "to" the Black Sea, a strategic aspect of naval security to Russia.
Skirting the issue of what the prime political aspect is of this having ever to occur. As Sachs has pointed to all along. The US had been on this quest ever since the unification of Eastern Germany and dissolution of the Warsaw Pact. That NATO "would not" move one inch further towards Russia.
Plenty of official non journalistic opinion pieces of documentation to back this up.
So, the character driven plot for what you're substantiating doesn't really factor into what the real motives are in this sordid and tragic affair of states. Hundreds of thousands of people have died and not just Ukrainians. Many thousands of Russians. It's a fight upholding principals of states.
Our country sits back and supplies some of our weapons in storage to essentially degrade, (as an official in the Biden administration revealed) and at a wild longshot chance of toppling the head of state in Russia along with our sanctioning.
And shucks, it didn't work out after all. Well, dusting our hands off. Next... China! Onward ho!
