They have been, in various ways, been attacking NATO countries for past 2 decades. Its simply puttin's modus operandi. Physical attacks on civilian and military infrastructure, murders, meddling with elections, cyber attacks, you name it.
All countries do this. Only propoganda makes you believe its only the enemy doing it. The UK alone had a history of 300 years of enslaving, meddling and brutalizing other countries. I can name at least 50 events from western countries last 2 decades.
Whataboutism at its finest. I think we all forget how we should feel fiery hate towards all citizens of Mongolia, those conquests were beyond brutal.
Or lets start talk like adults and talk about current situation and how nations behave now. russia is the definition of evil of these days. I know US government focuses heavily on china for whatever reasons (I guess because its obvious they are #2 and moving up, russia is barely in top 10 in actual capabilities if we ignore nukes and and since they threatened to use them at least 100x in past few years we can safely ignore them for usual conflicts).
Don't hate the messenger, this is how they behave and have painted themselves consistently, heck they are even proud of it in typical russian redneck style if you follow their media a bit.
