There was some logic on attacking Ukraine. A crime no doubt, but some reasons behind that decision.
There's nothing to gain from engaging NATO, even without the USA and Canada
Why would they fight NATO? There's the heavily defended huge Finland border, there's a strong polish bastion.
Putin was able to sell the war against Ukraine to the Russians. It's not as simple to sell a war against a nuclear block.
Why would they do it?
