My pro-Beijing dad actually believed in that claim about the U.S. & N.A.T.O pressuring Ukraine to join which led to the illegal & unprovoked invasion by Russia.

He seemed to believe Russia's invasion was justifed despite all the death & destruction going around while engaging in a lot of whataboutism like mentioning the second allied invasion of Iraq over a fraudulent claim of the existence of WMDs.

Somehow, he thinks it's okay for Russia invade Ukraine for the wrong reasons like the Western allies invading Iraq for the wrong reasons.

Count I of the indictment against the Nazis at Nuremberg was "Waging Aggressive War." It's something we could've been charged with after Iraq, which probably goes a long way in explaining why the United States is not a state party to the International Criminal Court.
