      “NATO is an expanding instrument of U.S. global power that provoked Russia into a criminal invasion and occupation of Ukraine,”

      He said NATO provoked Russia into it, in effect blaming NATO for Russia’s actions and saying “look what NATO made Russia do”.

          It’s criminal and imperialist. Russia was mad that their former colony wanted to have closer relations to the West and join NATO. So, they invaded and seized Crimea.

          When that wasn’t enough, and shockingly didn’t make Ukraine want to get closer to Russia, Russia invaded the rest of Ukraine.

          West does not seem to understand that NATO is a voluntary organization that requires applications to get in, nor that the core of this war is Russia trying to exercise imperialism.

          So, it begs the question, why doesn’t West want the US to aid a country in protecting its sovereignty against an imperialist power? If he’s ideologically consistent, that means he wouldn’t want to help Palestinians obtain freedom from Israel either.
