That’s right, both Finland and Sweden have suddenly abandoned over 80 years of neutrality and asked to join NATO not because of a revival of Russian aggression but instead because they both now have territorial ambitions against Russia? 🙄
Gosh, are you sensitive;) Turkey stuck a fork in that quicker than you can Nikita Khrushchev’s questionable gifting of Crimea in ‘54...
And while we are having at it, your history lesson forgot to mention the Bolshevik Revolution when the Cossacks declared themselves independence as Ukraine in 1917, a short lived fiasco beginning with the suprise defeat of the Russian Republic forces of the Kiev District - aha! Ukraine borne from the same October Revolution upheveal by an attack and defeat of RUSSIAN forces in Kiev. 3 Soviet general secretaries were either born or raised in Ukraine: Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev ; and Konstantin Chernenko.
Nikita Khrushchev, in 1954, gifted Crimea to a Ukraine....
And the rest is history - Ukraine is complicated. It was a part of Russia for most of 300 years.
The fact that Ukraine’s president was installed by the USA in a color revolution (COUP) and is HOSTILE to Russia is close enough to Russia as an emeny that cannot be tolerated.
Ukraine will never be in NATO, however, it may find herself intergated into the European orbit but it will always be a part of Russia’s history and for 100 years a shared people until Obama’s Zenelski. Zenelski isn’t funny or even a good actor.
America will never send her boys and girls to die in Ukraine.
