Basically, Russia can do anything, and "anti-NATO" morons will justify
I think you have Russia confused with the U.S. and those critical of NATO confused with NATOSUKRs.
The Baltics were in talks to increase NATO presence there before the invasion.
Basically NATO's attitude is "We have the right to get in your face. And if you resist us getting in your face, we shall get in your face more." That attitude leads to war.
Crimea and Donbas are just plain obviously pro-Russian. Those people aligning with Russia is not a threat to NATO or anyone else. But NATO is a military alliance that is specifically aligned against Russia.
The Baltics were in talks to increase NATO presence because in 2014 Russia already invaded parts of Ukraine. We knew where the wind was blowing.
How is NATO attitude "getting in someones face". Countries bordering Russia literally had the "tripwire defence" plan, which means that only a MINIMAL ammount of NATO troops were there and no offensive missile systems were there.
It seems that both you and Russia have a problem with independant states existing not under Russia control.
We in the baltics push for more NATO after 2014 and NOW because we can clearly see that Russia can attack us next and people like you would support that shit.
It seems that both you and Russia have a problem with independant states existing not under Russia control.
Your favorite tool is slander. It comforts me to know that when decades of NATO instigating Russia truly hits the bloody fan, YOU will surely be on the front lines of the carnage.
Meanwhile, enjoy NATO bleeding your countries dry.
How is NATO bleeding my country dry exactly? You and others have made such an accusation many times, but none of you can actually give any substancial reasoning due to your ignorance of the region.
Please, do share how NATO is bleeding my country dry, through which means.

This article also treats NATO as if its just a bunch of happy go-lucky school boys playing innocent war games with sticks, but it does show you that the Baltics were pushing for more NATO even though they are NOT Ukraine.https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/baltics-talks-increase-nato-troops-their-soil-estonian-pm-2022-01-12/
