That's why he put it all in writing when sending that warning to NATO.

He was putting up with all this for long time, ( this NATO advancements) until it came to the "last frontier" - the Ukraine.

This was the last drop.
So other countries can't do what they want to do?

Only what Putin wants them to do?

Not sure about the "imperial Russia" part, but it definitely serves the purpose of the security of the Russian state.

What "other countries?'
Be specific here.

What Honduras or Canada are doing is none of his concern.

The countries on the Russian border ( or the ones that are specifically intertwined with Russian interests) is a whole different question.

IF the countries on the Russian border were not hosting the hostile to Russia military power, I don't think Putin would care either way.

Why would he?

Western media does not report on US military provocations on Russia's borders. These provocations happen almost daily and test the political will of Russia's leadership. The US exerts continuous pressure on Russia as part of the policy to "contain Russia".

Of course others in Russian government would know about these provocations and expect Putin to act. Putin has tried for many years to make concessions to the west, but at some point it's just not possible.

Or is it no longer true?

Oh, those poor victims, the Serbs? You mean, the only nation of the former Yugoslavia that was at war with all the others? The ones who invented ethnic cleansing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia..._Yugoslav_Wars

With pillars of the community, like these guys?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slobodan_Milošević

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern...mer_Yugoslavia

Context is king. Thank you for framing the Russian Nazi aggressors in the same vein as the Serb Nazi aggressors for the Yugoslav Wars.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_Wars

Eerily similar - thanks for confirming.
