Sort of, NATO was practicing an method of economic and physical encirclement intended to suffocate the Russian economy.

What the fuck are you even talking about? EU trade with Russia was at an all time high at the start of 2022.

It was stupid to believe that Russia would just accept Ukraine’s entrance into NATO

Again, what the fuck are you talking about. Ukraine declared its neutral status in 2010 and again in 2014, stating that they were not seeking NATO membership. That position only changed after the annexation of Crimea.

Stop writing walls of nonsense on shit you clearly have no idea about.

I'm tired and had a bit to drink so I won't be super in depth here and I apologize for that but I will explain my reasoning as simply as possible.

The 2022 and previous state of NATO member nations economic relationship with Russia was one of opportunism and convenience that does not reflect their long term strategic goals in the region.

Ukraine declared neutrality on the matter because it knew joining NATO would lead to it being invaded. This changed after the highly western backed and financed Maiden "revolution". This occured concurrently with the Russian invasion of Crimea and it is arguable that both influenced each other in turn. Russia recognized the changing political tides towards western powers in Ukraine and responded to it while Ukrainian nationalism swelled in response to Russian invasion. None of these events were beneficial to the working people of Ukraine.

Edit: you can disagree with my reasoning here and I'd kinda understand, I don't expect to convince you, but at least I am consistent.

But they said they know the material conditions and stuff, so shut up and let Russia do what they want to civilians.
