they're literally engaged in a war against russia, so can you blame them?

The equivalent there would be Russian claims about Ukraine attacking them right before invasion. As of now, the Russian invasion itself is provably existing.It is about zero paralel with "The war could have been over if Biden and Musk hadn’t meddled in Kyiv’s strategy."

Russia invading Ukraine was the escalation you are worried about

Russia is at war with Ukraine. so Ukraine did it?

I might've agreed with you had Russia not invaded Ukraine. Your assumption is the same assumption we all made, but they invaded Ukraine anyway.

Sorry, Russia's invasion of Ukraine isn't a proxy for another country

Russia invaded Ukraine. Unless you think Russia is a US puppet helping the US weaken Russia, I think you should check your prejudices.

Considering that Russia has invaded Ukraine why would you think comments about erradication are just "chest beating"I guess what I'm saying is why are you interpreting their words that way when they started a war?

Are you seeing this as a reason to justify Russian invasion into Ukraine?

Russia invaded Ukraine. It was an invasion. End of the story. Why are you blaming the US?
