America, and it’s allies, would never resort to fabricating stories for the purposes of driving public opinion in their favour, or deploy misinformation onto the population of their enemies.

Russia equally has no reason to believe Ukraine, America or anyone else is acting in good faith. Arming itself, and preparing for further instability at it’s borders would be entirely rational. Who knows where the CIA is planning it’s next coup.
Oh, the irony...

Anyhoo, you stated "Arming itself, and preparing for further instability at it’s borders would be entirely rational" - could you point out any instability* in the last 20 years on it's borders that have not been instigated** by Russia?

*nb - democratically elected Governments wishing to join the EU and/or NATO does not, in fact, destabilise Russia's borders***

**nb2 - Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine...

***nb3 - unless you are one of the supporters of the Greater Russia myth that states all the old Comecon countries belong to Russia
