It is obscene that we are allying with a colonial genocidal racist regime and criminalising a national liberation movement. The UK has so much blood on its hands in the Palestine Holocaust .

My point still stands.
NATO expansion was a provocation. After the Cold War ended, the original rationale for the alliance—containing the Soviet Union— didn't apply, so expanding Eastern was clearly an aggressive move to exploit a weakened Russia as Kissinger quite honestly explained in the PBS interview.
From Russia’s perspective, this expansion was a threat. It's faced multiple invasions from the West: Napoleon, the Nazis etc and clearly NATO’s movement toward its borders, the deployment of missile defense systems in Eastern Europe, and Western support for the ousting of allied governments would be seen as existential threats.
Their reaction is rooted in history and security logic.
I'm saying this again because a moderator deleted my comment for "Russian propaganda". The US promised the USSR in the early 1990s that it would not expand Eastward past Germany. It lied and expanded up to the Russian border.
Here is proof from the former ambassador.

After expanding NATO eastward, the U.S. deployed anti ballistic missile defense systems in Poland and Romania further provoking Russia in its own backyard.
Through funding like USAID and active diplomatic efforts, the U.S. supported the overthrow of the pro Russian Yanukovych government in Ukraine

There was no promise of NATO expansion. Gorbachev himself had said there was no such promise.
This is categorically not true. Former ambassador to the Soviet Union James Matlock confirmed that the US gave assurances to Gorbachev when he was General Secretary that if Germany united NATO would not move further eastward. Here is the interview from 1994 (11 minutes 46 seconds

Your comment reeks of Russian propaganda.
My comment was deleted because people seem to think (or have been taught to think) that anything that isn't blindly Russiophobic is propaganda.
I left Reddit to get away from this hive mind bullshit and outrageous censorship.
Rejoin the single market and customs union you spineless dickhead
It's very simple, Britain is Americas bitch and America is Israel's bitch ergo Britain is Israel's bitch.
You have to kiss Israel's ass all the way, David. You can't just lick the rim and be done with it.
Ask your boss for the right way to do it.
Everyone is going to want to be Jeffrey Dahmer.
