But of course - NATO has provoked Russia by allowing it to invade Crimea unpunished. If those HIMARS launchers got to Ukraine in 2014, we wouldn’t have the current war, and also probably wouldn’t have problems with gas supply, because Russia would already be pacified.
Still, this isn’t a good moment to focus on criticizing NATO where there’s a vastly greater evil to defend against.
And I definitely can compare this to Europe in 1943 - it’s the same ideology, forcing people to do the same kind of genocide, for the same reasons. Sure, Russians nazis only killed few dozen thousand people so far, but we know well what they intend to do - they are openly saying the purpose of the invasion is to destroy the Ukrainian nation. (Also note how ironic it is - Russia, which is neither a real nation not a proper state, is trying to destroy a vastly superior Ukraine.)
