And Ukraine is a NATO member?

Oh wait...it was rejected.

Oh well...

You are being obtuse, opposing Russian aggression is not limited to hiding behind your borders and completely ignoring anything Russia does outside of them. 

Oh well... 

LOL, when people have to tell you they are ignoring you...

This death and destruction is due to certain Americans.

These Americans (Sullivan) want to change the world.

The death and destruction is 100% due to Putin.

Under Obama, we had peace.

You literally just mentioned Crimea... Russia annexed Crimea under Obama's watch and then he started his shadow war in the Donbas under Obama.

You have no damn clue what you are talking about.

What are you talking about? He didn't do anything. Russia took Crimea and started a shadow war. You tried to claim there was peace under Obama. There clearly was not.

Crimea?

Under Obama and even Trump, there was no death and destruction.

I love repeating myself, so let me say it for the 3rd time now: Shadow war in the Donbas.

Communism destroyed the Russian Empire

now Russia is in essence demanding that America put that empire back together for them

by forcing nations to remain subservient to Moscow

but America couldn't do that even if we wanted to

so we are now dealing with Russia behaving as an irrational actor, lashing out in an enraged state

thus we are forced back into George Kennan's policy of Containment

Subservient?

All I've seen tells me that Russia simply wants Ukraine neutrality.

Is that subservient somehow?

Here you go again... pushing this Russian propaganda. Russia started their shadow war there... it was already Ukrainian terrority and Ukrainian people. The Ukrainian military did not have to start anything. Russia did.

Yeah, I think threatening invasion, pushing a shadow war, seizing Crimea, and full invasion all constitute Russia not just wanting Ukraine to be neutral but demanding through force Ukraine being subservient to their demands.

Interesting that at the time...2014...these "Russian Military" you speak of, are simply called "insurgents".

https://www.hrw.org/news/2014/10/20/ukraine-widespread-use-cluster-munitions

Another speaking of "pro-Russian rebels" .

In both cases, its the Ukrainians accused of using missiles and cluster bombs in urban areas.

well it seems clear that the Kremlin's initial plan was to depose the Ukrainian regime in a blitzkrieg of sorts

when that failed, they seemed to have fallen back to Plan B

which is a spoiling action to cripple Ukraine

ideally for the Kremlin, the Ukrainian army will at some point be forced to break and run

falling back to the west bank of the Dnieper river

allowing the Russians to advance to the east bank, dividing Ukraine into East & West

same as was done to Germany

I view the Kremlin as being imperialist

like any empire, they will push as hard as they can for as long as they can until something stops them

the former KGB running the Kremlin are obviously not plain old people

these are geopolitical actors pursuing a revanchist agenda against their American adversary

the war is not actually against Ukraine, America has simply made Ukraine into an American proxy
