"An attack has to have very strong reasons, as any attack is very costly, no oligarch would spend money for no reason."

So why did this current attack start? It's been 3 years and there's a dozen theories as to why exactly, there is no "strong reason" anywhere to be seen.

"What could an oligarch possibly gain from starting a war with an allied neighboring country?"

Again, why is Russia in Ukraine then? They went from being brethren to portraying Ukrainians as fascist scum that need to be exterminated. Why is that?

"And why doesn't U.S. attack other NATO members now?"

Because it has more to gain by not doing so.

Again - I really can't see how you can confidently say that if only Russia was let into NATO 30 years ago this current situation wouldn't have happened.
