The whole "We invaded Ukraine because we're worried about NATO" excuse doesn't fly, sorry. How sure are you this is the real reason for this invasion??

Just seeing this. The whole thing is a slap in the face to Russia. Putin feels the West is using Ukraine for it's own purposes. Unfortunately, Ukraine is a pawn. To use your analogy, think of Russia occupying North Carolina even though North Carolina would ostensibly still be one of the 50 states with a governor etc. And then it begins arming it and installing missiles there. The U.S. wouldn't feel too good about it.
