The corporate media says Putin wants to take over the world, and Trump says Zelenskyy somehow managed to trick the US into supporting him — but the reality is that NATO’s long-term strategy of expansion towards Russia’s borders made war inevitable.

That is not what’s happening. Look up what was happening in the Donbass from 2014 onward.
Yes, that and Crimea was the pre-emptive strike.
Capitalism naturally evolves into imperialism. As capital concentrates into large monopolies, nations are driven to expand aggressively to secure profits and power. The Bush Doctrine showed this same logic by claiming that waiting to be attacked was too dangerous, so the enemy had to be destroyed preemptively using all available means.
In simple terms, the superpowers follow similar strategies. Just as the Bush administration acted in belief it was necessary to strike first against potential threats (like weapons of mass destruction, which were never present and only for manufacturing consent) to protect its interests, Russia used a pre-emptive move in Crimea and the Donbass region to attack Ukraine before it could be NATO.
Weapons didn’t exist so your logic falls on its face. Bush didn’t have a potential threat therefore your “strategy” wasn’t applied.
