"Make Russia look bad" - what does that even mean? I'm country A, country B writes bad things about me in their media, so I will invade them, bomb their electricity grid and try to overthrow their government - by what logic is that a valid casus belli?

"Isn't submitting to their globalist agenda" - again, what does that mean? As you yourself point out, nobody was planning to invade them. Russia is the largest country in the world by land mass with abundant natural resources - oil, gas, diamonds and other riches. But instead of focusing on improving lives for ordinary russians, they want to expand that "russian world" which only brings death and destruction.

See this [1] for a perfect example of the imperial mindset - Putin saying that "Russia’s borders do not end anywhere"

Baiting? Are you seriously insinuating that Ukraine was about to invade Russia and thus, as Putin claims, they had no choice but to attack? How naive one has to be to actually believe it?

US and Europe were not (and sadly, are not) doing nowhere nearly enough in providing defensive weapons to Ukraine, if they had, this invasion would have been stopped long ago.

> he isn’t interested in endless imperial conquest

Putin said in early 2022 that he has no interest in invading Ukraine. Invasion happened weeks later.
