Just because those invasions of Russia were beyond our lifetimes does not mean that the history hasn't been taught to Russians. The last time a European country invaded Russia was 80ish years ago. European countries have invaded Russia at least once a century going back to at least the 1300s.

While you say that an unprovoked NATO invasion of Russia is beyond ludicrous, I can come up with several scenarios where NATO could invade unprovoked, all involving resources.
Just because you can't personally imagine such a scenario does not mean it doesn't exist.

I would have never envisioned a scientific lab doing gain of function research, much less have a lab leak. Yet here we are. That's the stuff of Michael Crichton books.4


Again, you've completely ignored Russia's concerns about NATO. They are NOT a purely defensive force.
