So.............what was the Russian nation supposed to do? Allow missiles to be pointed toward their country just over the border? Shield their eyes from Russian speaking Ukrainians being persecuted by the nationalist Ukrainians? Pretend that the USA was not lying about extending its imperial ambitions up to the border of the Russian nation? I fail to understand what alternative Russia or Putin had . Can someone help?
Russia was "supposed" to capitulate. To bow down to Western power and submit. To accept a regrading as a third- or fourth-rate power. That's what Western elites tell Western peoples they were expecting. Maybe they're lying? I don't think so. I suspect they believe so devoutly in their own rightness that they expected their "compellance" to work.

The West is just displaying the 'arrogance of power' and the decaying of the USA empire.
Interesting observations from a sociologist overlooking the epidemic of healthy young adults dying suddenly. Can it not even be mentioned in Russia?
Great food for thought from the Russian side.
Madness prevails in the USA:

Well written, containing an interesting observation of the internal changes which the Russian Population is undergoing.
The real axis of evil - Russia, USA & NATO, with China tiptoeing around the edges.
