You’re basically a NATO propagandist if you think they orchestrated the invasion and made it go so poorly on Russia’s part. Russia was literally seen as the second strongest military force worldwide and nobody wanted to help Ukraine because they would supposedly get steamrolled in weeks tops. They got piles of anti tank launchers and a pat on the back. Literally nobody expected Russia to show its ass so fucking hard.

It makes Russia look weak, sure, but by saying NATO forced it to happen is basically saying Russia is so weak militarily and politically that NATO can literally force them into a quagmire and deplete stockpiles, and THAT sounds like westoid propaganda.
