So should NATO and US on the border too with their weak minded citizens that are invading for past 60 years with proxy wars and including invading Ukraine in 2014 via coup?

It's actually completely opposite. It's the Russia not accepting of suppression like NATO are under Western Axis. Russia was only involved in proxy wars in order to defend other nations against the western invasions and it was not for the past 60 years. Since it was Soviet Union, completely different than modern Russia. 2 different things. I am sure it is difficult for some to understand that there are better alternatives than NATO using Soviet tactics of placing other countries inside them. Because that alternative would make NATO end up like Warshaw pact. And US dictatorship in the name of ''freedom and democracy'' as a masquerade. Russia is actually becoming very relevant, while US continues to be irrelevant.

There is no such thing as philosophical difference when it comes to reality. Russia is democratic nation with multiple party system and free thinking society. Capitalist and Democratic nation. It has been attacked by western and Ukrainian dictators that want war and destroying Russian freedom, not their freedom. In Russia people can express their thoughts openly and without fear of retaliation and confinement too and there are no penal colonies as long as they are not harming other co-citizens. Modern day USA is what was before Soviet Union.

True democracy and freedom is scary thing for NATO and Ukraine yes.

Russia is democracy, USA autocracy.

Putin is protecting his nation against communist democrats and evil dictator Zelensky correct.
