Russia is not aggressive. They have made only defensive moves. Putin strikes me as a rather cautious man. The Russians have always warned the U.S. not to expand NATO further eastwards but the U.S. government has ignored these warnings. Now the U.S. works hard to bring Georgia, Ukraine and Moldovia into NATO, which for Russia is a red line (especially the Ukraine).
