You are right. Russia didn't get to decide whether Team USA would fight them or not. They could choose only how to respond. They chose to NOT surrender. Which was an obvious choice for them given hundreds of years of not having a choice whether they'd be attacked or not, from Napoleon to Barbarossa.

Why that bit of obviousness seems to elude so many people... I don't know...

It's a puzzle why that eludes you, even when it's explained to you.

Putin has explained his reasons many times. But for some reason, crazed Yanks make up obvious rubbish such as he wants to take over Europe, recreate the USSR, conquer the world. Since the facts of his actions match his words, it is a good bet that what he said matched what he thought. The whole terrible horror and maybe infinitely worse [MAD] could have been easily avoided. But USA was hell-bent on attacking Russia, so Putin didn't have a choice, other than how to respond.

But it all eludes you for some reason.
