We both know Obama is an idiot. That still doesn’t give Russia cause to invade a nation that was no possible threat to it.

Ukraine is not a threat to Russia, but NATO in Crimea or Ukraine would be a huge threat to Russia. Russia is protecting itself in the Black Sea, and it's tough to live on the frontier of a major power. Ask Mexico. That's just the way it is.

Why would it be a bigger threat to Russia to have NATO on it’s doorstep, then it would be a threat to the Ukraine having Russia on it’s doorstep?
