too bad there is 0 evidence in the article given for any "violent threats from Ukrainians"

The folks who quote Eichmann in saying that they should kill Russian children, and whose doctors say that Russian POWs should be castrated, dindu nuffin.

poor Russians, they just can't catch a break, can they?

I think they've been quite patient. They've put up with a lot.

• the US looting the country and destroying it in the 1990s, even demanding repayment of the old tsarist debts
• the US breaking promises to move NATO not one inch to the east - while they voluntarily withdrew from East Germany and the Warsaw Pact.
• the US usurping the entire Warsaw Pact
• the US moving up to its borders with even more NATO expansion into constituent republics of the USSR
• the US staging a coup in Ukraine and bringing to power a violently anti-Russian government
• the US sabotaging the Minsk accords and sending lethal weapons to, in the words of Adam Schiff, "fight Russia over there so we don't fight them over here".

If anything, they are too soft. Putin, for example, has not yet handed captured Stingers to actors who would do unto the West what the West has tried to do to Russia. Imagine two or three passenger jets being downed every week. I'm surprised that Putin is being so nice, and I'm very thankful that he's not trying to get as many Western subjects killed as the West is trying to do with Russians.

just minding their own business

Yup, taking possession of lands they've owned for 200 years is the literal definition of 'their own business'. That you have an irrational Cold Warrior hatred of Russia even after they dumped communism is on you.

On the other hand, the US turning Yugoslavia, Libya and Iraq into Chicago, while now doing the same in Ukraine, is the definition of not minding your own business, but striding the world like a Colossus and crushing one country after the other.

NATO expansion & suddenly they're at war

Yup, 8 years of shelling of the Donbas. Shockingly, you were not angry about that like you now are about Russian shelling of other parts of Little Russia, because CNN didn't tell you to be mad about it.
