I don’t think I agree with that though it really all depends on how you define “reasonable” I guess.
What’s reasonable depends on what your concerns, goals, and priorities are. It’s based on what your think is important to you. Two people can have all the same objective facts and make different subjective interpretations of the facts.
Russia sees NATO as a hostile force that’s been expanding to their borders. They have stated their security concerns repeatedly over the years, and were unable to find a way to negotiate with the west. Now they view a conflict with NATO is being inevitable, and they chose to fight on their terms. From their perspective, what they’re doing is logical and reasonable.
The west on the other hand is an example of what happens when actions are driven by ideology. The west took the position of prolonging the war instead of looking for a diplomatic solution, and started an economic war that’s now creating sever blow back in western countries. Neither of these actions appear reasonable or rational to me.

People don’t have objective facts. It’s inherently impossible. People only have subjective experience to infer objectivity from.

That seems to be a shift in your position then. You’re now saying neither are reasonable?
