NATO has a huge interest, one of them would be next but for NATO membership.

You continually justify Putin's invasion.

Bullshit. You support the guy who started it.

Yes, Ukraine was such a threat to Russia. ?

Not my war. Putin's war.

How many countries does Putin have to invade before you do not support a cause?

I never said that.

So who then comes the buffer state for Ukraine? Russia taking over Ukraine is not in Ukraine's best interest.

Ukraine is not a NATO nation so Putin thought he could get away with attacking it. He doesn't attack NATO states because he can't. See how that works. I really don't see Ukraine as a buffer state. Buffer state for who?

They considered and rejected it but never threatened it. MacArthur wanted all out war against China so Truman fired him. An important difference between dictatorships and democracies.

That's why NATO exists. Ukraine doesn't belong to NATO and it was attacked. See how that works.

In all the conflicts since WW2, the only one to ever threaten the use of nukes is Putin. The US has never done it, nor did the Soviet Union when it was losing in Afghanistan.

One people, with Vlad as King. The Russian Empire was built on conquest, Vlad wants it back.

Sure, MSM reported on it. They also reported that UN inspectors found no evidence of Saddam having weapons of mass destruction. They report, that's their job.

Russia is run by Mafia kleptocrats. They have robbed their military blind and destroyed its leadership, Now they have to threaten nuclear weapons because they have failed everything else. Pitiful.

You're back. Now threatening the use of SLBM's and nuclear torpedos. All over little Ukraine. You smell of desperation.

Yes but we are talking about the Russian equivalent of the Mafia. These people aren't chosen.

He?

A Georgian and two Ukrainians managed to become the mob boss. Georgia and Ukraine had little say in the matter.

Not really, Ukrainians are going to hate Russian guts regardless of what happens.

Of which Ukraine and Georgia were only a part. Besides, gaining power in the Soviet Union was more a process of determining the new mob boss. Nothing has really changed in that country.

I knew he was Austrian. Georgia didn't make Stalin king nor Ukraine make Khrushchev king. Russians did. If we wind up with a foreign born PM one day, will that be justification for Canada invading that country?

Actually it is our problem for the same kind of reasons Hitler invading Poland was our problem. Yes, it looks like Ukraine is going to "win" at the cost of the destruction of half their country. Whether Ukraine joins NATO or not, Russia has guaranteed a country on its border who's people will now hate their guts for centuries. Not to mention, two brand new NATO members.

Yes he was. So what?

If they want a Moscow friendly government, stop annexing chunks of their country. I'm sure Ukraine isn't happy with a hostile country next door.
