Funny thing is, Ukraine is the original "Rus," and could make the same claim that Rus unification necessitates that Ukraine conquer Russia in order to return its people to the natural order of things. Russia should be careful what it wishes for, it may get it in the form of Ukraine being the conqueror!

Putin's invasion of Ukraine has nothing to do with NATO policies, as you pointed out. It's about Putin's vision of him as Czar Vladimir of the United Rus, and alsso conquering a nation rich in resources that he can use, sell, and exploit.
