Well..that's your opinion, albeit an uninformed one.

The Russians indicated that they would negotiate on the basis that Ukraine would never join NATO. Ukraine refused to have any discussions that precluded them from doing that.

That is a contradiction and is the basis for the Russian invasion.

US/NATO air force bases that have runways that a nuclear armed drone can take off from are all over NATO countries.
As I said missile silos are 1950's tech which alert targets in plenty of time for a response....a cruise missile launched from a border is much better.

NATO exists to challenge Russia funded by the Americans.
