Why do you keep pretending that that is what has been happening?
What should a state do when the most prolific invader in the world gathers personnel and weapons on that state's borders, especially after said most prolific invader completes a coup against a neighbouring neutral state?
So, become the invader? Start the war? That seems to be what you think should happen right?
Firstly, if you cannot suggest a serious alternative, you do not have an argument against the actions of such a state in this regard.
Secondly, the most prolific invader in the world attempting to attack a country is what starts a war, rather than the retaliation and preventative measures of the other state.
Thirdly, it is public knowledge that NATO was trying to start a war with Russia, but miscalculated.
My serious alternative is defend against invasion, don't invade other countries. Pre-empting invasion with your own invasion is some Israel in 1969 logic
