Not sure what the point you are making is? Should we just keep going back in history and try to cherry pick events to blame and justify current conflicts? That can go on indefinitely and is why we keep having wars.

The current war started with the 2014 invasion by Russia.

Claiming that the invasion of Ukraine by Russia is caused and justified by a thing which happened after and in response to that invasion is arguing for retrocausality. It is not "going back in history and cherry picking events" to point out when and how the current war started in a discussion of the causes of the current war, especially when an event that happened after and in response to the start of the current war is argued to justify the aggressor in the current war.

It started because of the western coup in Ukraine. Reminds me of people who say Oct 7 started the “war” in Palestine.

But, it is you that did just that. You picked up an event from the 1960's in a totally different continent, to justify Russian continued agressions against Ukraine.

I answered by actually pointing out an event from 10 years ago that's directly related to this war.

Russia responded to a western coup on one of the 3 East Slavic nations (Russia Ukraine Belarus).
