Ukraine never did that.

Very unlikely.

Also Mexico wasn’t never exactly that aligned diplomatically and politically with the US to begin with.

Russia on the other hand views that it has some inherent right to subjugate and dominate all of their neighbors and turn them into puppet states if not outright annex them.

> In fact this is, more or less, what the Cuban Missile Crisis

In fact this is outright drivel. The US hardly viewed Russia as their actual opponent before 2014-22. Remember Romney- Obama debate (and Obama generally bending over backwards to appease Putin most of the time).
