Why are the European nations in NATO spoiling for war with Russia?

Fighter jets from NATO nations, including Poland and Sweden, were scrambled after Russia launched long-range missile strikes in Ukraine overnight.

Polish and allied aircraft have begun operations, and ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems have reached the highest state of readiness. Gripen fighter jets belonging to Sweden's air force, some of which are stationed in Poland, "helped ensure safety in Polish skies tonight" the Polish military said.

The problem lies in the hatred exported to the US by immigrants from Europe. My Polish maid, a 50 year old American citizen, said she hated Russians. She had lived in Poland under the USSR until she was 17 when the Iron Curtain fell.

The USA lead them into it and left them there. Good riddance.

So, according to you, the US persuaded russia to invade Ukraine for the last eleven years?

You can put it that way. Russia has been responding to the NATO threats of aggression thru expansion of its organization. Each time a new nation in Europe joins NATO, the US establish military bases there. Those bases are armed with weaponry and troops. Imagine yourself surrounded by armed thugs following you wherever you go. Wouldn't you whack the thug nearest to you in order to scare off the pack?

No - you put it that way

NATO threats of aggression

NATO is a purely defensive organisation.

putin's problem with NATO is that it blocks his plans to attack more and more countries (being kicked in the teeth by the Ukrainians kind of slowed him down as well)

Every nutjob in America carry a gun for self defense. A NATO member nation is similar to a conceal carry nutjob in America. Russia is afraid of NATO the way US cops are afraid when they have to deal with armed crazies who live in constant fear of threats.

This is your Russia hating rationale that is destabilizing Europe. Why do you care? Are you Polish?

destabilizing Europe

Unlike putin's deceitful and murderous invasion of the sovereign democracy of Ukraine, huh? Of course, russians would think of a destroyed and depopulated Ukraine as 'stabilised'.

Are you Polish?

No

In any case, you don't need to be Ukrainian to support Ukraine... you just have to be a decent human being.
