Be russia.

Sovereign nation, not a US puppet.

Invades another sovereign nation.

"This would never have happened if the US hadn't forced us!"

The dissonance is so extreme it's not even funny. Do you honestly believe that russia is standing up to the US, and not controlled by the US, and at the same time that they have no choice in the matter of whether hundreds of thousands of russians should die and be maimed in Ukraine?

Either russia is a US puppet, the US orchestrated the war, and the US is to blame; or russia is acting of its own accord, and are the sole country responsible for the war starting and continuing. You can't have it both ways.

not controlled by the US

LOL please do explain. Always ready for comedy.
And 2014 was a textbook funded US coup.
Plenty of facts and tactics they used to escalate the conflict such as shooting at both sides.
Just ignore that, or the Nuland-Pyatt call literally deciding who would be president.
The east and south didn't want to live under a US installed Banderite regime.
They got brutally attacked.
And somewhere it stops, if you think Russia should take ukraine in NATO with nukes aimed at them by NATO, with no time to react you are wrong.
