The fact that Russia is no longer communist and NATO has continued to expand and surround Russia is a clear demonstration that this has never been an ideological conflict. And that illustrates that Russia does indeed have legitimate security concerns, because it's clear that the goal of NATO expansion is to contain Russia.

Not so much contain as to colonise, Russia has been contained all that time but they still expanded more.

Yeah that was supposed to be the big prize, and then they could plunder Russia and surround China from the west. Didn't really work out though, and now all the western fash are seething.

Containing Russia is probably some thing due to the fact that Russia does not allow a political choice since decades

As opposed to Europe where elections get cancelled when the wrong candidate wins? 🤣
