right
but that's like saying we blame the mother of a drunk, because the drunk killed a pedestrian
of course there's formative reasons for every crime, that are external to the actor that committed the crime
but that actor still shoulders full blame for that crime
so europe should have known russia never lost its imperialism. and europe should have changed its attitude by knowing that. but russia is still 100% to blame
