It’s been pretty much a foregone conclusion that Crimea and those two regions are gone, and have been gone for a long time. It’s a bargaining chip for Putin to get what he really wants, a declaration that Ukraine will never join NATO, not unlike the similar agreement there is with regards to Austria.
Yes I have said several times that there are two things Putin cannot countenance. Losing his military port on the Black Sea and the Ukraine joining NATO.
Once you take the red pill and realize that NATO and the EU are New World Order its easy to understand why they are so eager to control the Ukraine and turn it against Russia. Russia is not NWO.
There is no organic reason why Russia and the Ukraine should not be allies any more than we are allies with Mexico and Canada. Putin is not going to invade the Ukraine. They are broke and corrupt. Putin doesn’t need more land he just doesn’t want NATO military bases on his border. Who can blame him.
