No, this war started because of a US backed coup that turned ¼ of the country into undesirables and 2nd class citizens. When they cast votes to opt out, Kiev sent attack helicopters and neonazi deathsquads to count them for 8 years. 2 months before Russia invaded, Kiev massed the largest armor force since Desert Storm, for an invasion of Donbas and began heavy shelling of Marinka and Donetsk. Russia officially recognized DPR/LPR independence and within hours, the US had sanctioned DPR and LPR, thus also recognizing their autonomy. DPR then officially requested military assistance from Russia.
So, you see, it wasn't started by Russia, but you would know that, if you knew Ukraine was even a thing before MSM told you which side you were on.

Correct. There are consequences to defense decisions. One of the consequences to deploying air defenses over population, is that the target is saved, but something/someone still gets hit. We learned this lesson in Desert Storm, where the PATRIOT had a very impressive interception rate. Just a very poor neutralization rate. In particular, ballistic missiles are hard, because in terminal phase you can completely destroy the airframe, but the warhead just keeps going and the airframe debris hits the target area like a shotgun. So, in many cases, interception caused more damage than failure. But, in most cases, interception just managed to nudge it enough to miss the intended target.
