But as you read the US has consistently pushed for Ukraine in NATO and then we overthrew their government in 2014. This is line in the dirt with Russia, Ukraine will not join NATO or even the EU, there will be no NATO offensive missiles there.
The terms Russian offered are the only terms that will be given in exchange for Ukraine being totally Neutral.
Right now planting season is coming on and the Ukraine supples 30% or more of the wheat to Europe, what happens now on that and we can’t take up the slack.
Before Russia invaded Ukraine sad no to NATO and NATO was falling apart. The point s Russia, agreed to Ukraine including Crimea and Donbas in the Ukraine. The problem is Putin thought Biden ( or his handlers) would roll over for Putin taking more of Ukraine like when they took Crimea. Moron Biden thinks he is some big foreign policy expert and Biden believes he can distract Americans from the mess he made in the US by playing hot shot on the world stage.
