It's a weird game of cat and mouse you describe but lets be clear, the annexation of Crimea, was, in Russias eyes a direct counter to the US backed revolution in Ukraine.

The US has wanted Ukraine in NATO for as long as I've been alive if not longer, having forces on the front door of Russia along the European border is something they deeply desire.. US Government's Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs even admitted to pouring billions into the effort.[0]

So lets not pretend that the US government is in a morally unquestionable position either.

I should have been more clear. By aggression I mean direct and overt military action.

Courting a country for NATO isn't quite the same as actively invading.

You are 100% correct that it's a game of cat and mouse.
