'Why?”, a German friend asked me, as she looked in horror at pictures of the Bucha massacre. “Why are they doing it?”'

I think paul's suggestion, from what I could work out (and I am sorry if I seemed a bit rude!) was rather that the US would get more involved if the war was on its doorstep? I'm not sure. But the US is pretty involved, and the whole geopolitical context would be entirely different. Not to mention the nuclear element

tomus, //The west is not responsible for what is happening. It is because of one man, and whatever it is that's going on in his head.

Of course there's an argument to say that if you know there's a warmonger around but do nothing to curb his warmongering ambitions when you have the chance you bear some responsibility when he starts a war.//

You pose, & answer correctly your own question.
The West is culpable of complacency in turning a blind eye to the appointment of a former KGB officer into the position of controller/dictator of a neighbouring nuclear state to Europe without demur.
