Borders come and borders go. It would be in Ukraine's best interest to side with NATO and be brought under its protection. I think people have more freedom under our banner than under Putin's.
I just checked and in the event of a draw I have the seniority here!
Nice to chat with a fellow 98er.
Right now, NATO couldn’t protect anybody.
"it would be in Ukraine's best interest to side with NATO" -- perhaps for the 52% who like the West (i can't remember the exact number but I think something like 40% to 50% of the Yanukowych Ukraine was pro-Russian) would like it, not all Ukraine
Also, NATO wouldn't take the Ukraine in, not now.
it hasn't taken in Georgia which is ethnically, historically, linguistically and stridently NOT Russia, so why would it take a country that has been so denuded culturally as to be truly made a "little Russia"?
