This is a bit I don't know, like a straw-man. NATO made maneuvers which Russia severely did not like, and Russia responded aggressively, its more-so a tragedy than a clear belligerent bad guy, is Putin bad? Yes. Are the politicians who gain money from this bad? Definitely. Is it only Russia? No.

movies celebrating villainy more than
heroism (Joker 2, Kraven, Venom, etc).

Thereโ€™s a bit in Red Storm Rising where an American tanker is surprised the West Germans are fighting the Russians for every little town, and heโ€™s asked if heโ€™d give up New York to retreat to Pennsylvania. Left unsaid is thatโ€™s exactly what Washington did in 1776 - after fighting for NY.

Putin's military bombed a hospital for pregnant women.

They built rooms in Ukraine to rape & torture children.

They hurt Ukrainian children, so they would fear Russians far into the future.

Then they kidnapped some Ukrainian children and took them into Russia to make them Russian.

IDF routinely bombed and shot people in the humanitarian corridor. They've cut off supplies โ€” including humanitarian aid from the US government โ€” from reaching civilians in the north of the Strip. War crimes, and actions that under US law, should force the US to stop sending weapons but hey.

I posit that this whole conflict is contrived to provide a thin veneer of legitimacy to the ethnic cleansing happening in Gaza right now. IDF destroying civilian buildings is a war crim, and they're on video unnecessarily shooting at or demolishing people's homes. This is but one of many.

This would be like the rest of the developed world cutting off ties to the US because Trump won. It's ridiculous. And when the Israelis only answered Palestinians with bombs, of course it was going to be a feedback loop. Sooner or later, direct action was going to happen. Israel had to know this.

The people of the Strip felt that the PLO wasn't advancing their interests because of this situation, and Hamas took advantage of that gap. Israel's response was to cut off any possibility of working with the government there, punishing a โ€œwrongโ€ political decision.

This is what has happened in the West Bank and the Strip. Israel has slowly encroached on those territories with settlements, and there have been multiple military offensives into those areas under the guise of security, each time turning the proverbial screws more.
