I don’t get how they can get away with calling the Ukrainian government “neo nazi”…. The head of its government is from a Jewish family with many ancestors and relatives killed in concentration camps! This is a Russian/Putin talking point that is often used by Russian politicians to drum up Russian nationalism and unity drawing on deep emotions from the “great patriotic war” (ww2).
I also don’t get how anyone can with a straight face honestly claim that a DEFENSIVE alliance is threatening! To do so is to inadvertently admit to having expansionary plans of your own against your neighbors. It’s akin to your neighbor being offended and threatened by your installing a security system and getting a large dog. This proves that he was planning on looting your house and your security plan would make that impossible.
"Government at its best is a necessary evil, and at it�s worst, an intolerable one." Thomas Paine (from "Common Sense" 1776)
