    plan to force Russia into a conflict

    Please explain how exactly do you force someone (who suggests to be reasonable) into conflict, basically force them to invade anyone.

    Did the Poland “forced” Hitler to start the WW2 the same way?

      Well imagine if China were to make a military pact with Mexico and started delivering “defensive” weapon systems to them. There would be protests, sanctions, meddling and attempts for regime change, and if those didn’t work there would be invasion.

      For the US to invade another country it actually takes far less. Getting bombed is super easy.

        Imagine justifying real war by imagining things.

        These sentences don’t make sense as the response for the quotation.

          Do you live in some alternative reality where the US didn’t invade Irak and Afghanistan? And is bombing countries all over the world for whatever reason? Oh let me guess that is TOTALLY different!

      It’s hardly unprecedented. The USA felt forced into an aggressive response to the Soviets putting missiles in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

        So it was Soviet plan to start the aggression? Is it the same with Finland? When can we expect Putin to invade it?

            Read the message you were replying to. I asked specifically how do you force a country to invade a other country (that is not yours). You told about Cuba, so naturally I wanted to confirm if you mean the situation was caused by desire of Soviets to start the aggression.
