The USA should not have planned to move Ukraine to NATO? Why do you guys always say this as if Ukraine and Ukrainians are inconsequential? You realise that almost 70% of Ukrainians voted to join NATO only after Crimea was annexed? Compared to Russia, Ukraine is a small country. It, therefore, makes perfect sense for them to want to become part of a bigger body for security reasons seeing the events of the past few years. The only reason Russia doesn't want Ukraine in NATO is because they fear Ukraine will be better posed for war with the support of the West. Ukraine is a sovereign country. You don't just wake up and decide it's time to re-acquire them and then insist they shouldn't seek help.

This is not just about Russia not wanting NATO to plant missiles in Ukraine. This is about Ukraine seeking help and thier oppressor trying to make sure they don't get it.



Well said.

egbon at least be accurate when you're making a statement. If Ukraine wants to join NATO because of Russia provocation and meddling, isn't that a dream scenario for an organisation whose aim is to stop USSR reformation?
which one is US should not have plan as if it's the US that's telling Russia to harass her neighbours and be forming domino
. Esir be calming down, do you know how many time Cuba has tried to seek for military aid from China and the USA threatened them. At least Cuba is a sovereign nation why can't USA allow them relate with any country they choose to relate with in any capacity

Why did you US instigate a coup against the democratically elected President of Ukraine in 2014? Same thing they did in Georgia. Because they were friendly to Russia. They tried same in Turkey and Kazakhstan recently. The US and the West are evil. The current Ukrainian President is their puppet. Look at the way they killed Gadaffi and shared the oil wells in Lybia. I guess you haven't heard of the Cuba missile crisis when Russia had their missiles there. America wanted to invade Cuba because of it.

Bro, no country is ready to experience economic recession which is normally the outcome of war. Why do you think American government pulled out of Afghanistan war?, they've gotten what they want, they are tired and they don't want to waste money on human resources and war logistics again.

show me the credible Intel that it's the US that instigated a coup?
All these hearsay.

Before you write trash at least sit down in a quiet environment and ask your self simple questions.
What benefits does Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Turkey serves to the US that will make them do something that if uncovered will shattered and shake the very foundation of their generational alliance built for so long?

Not every thing is about Russia.
what exactly is Russia contribution in the world? Did they fight the war on terrorism or how many countries have they been providing aids?

Simple question and answers will clear your mind.
In the mean time take a look at NATO position (Red line) against Russia federation but you guys will happily sing NATO is surrounding Russia (Pic 1).

in pic 2, look at Russia position relative to Ukraine but in this case, you guys will say Russia is defending its National Security not Russia is surrounding Ukraine abi

US doesn't have Taiwan interest yet because of them Taiwan is still an independent country. Because of them Japan and Australia have pledged to defend Taiwan sovereignty. South Korea will soon join in the defense of Taiwan.

what exactly are you saying?

if I may ask, you as an individual with less responsibilities other than your immediate environment, how many pro bono work have you been doing for people?
And u think the strings of these countries u have mentioned isn't being pulled by uncle Sam?
China is an emerging, if not already established world power in Asia. A growing threat to US and it's influence in Asia. As always, US would rather neutralize China using it's close neighbors than go all out.
Sovereignty means nothing to world powers... Iraq, Afghan and Libya comes to mind.
It would be naive to think US is offering Taiwan "security" pro bono.

On the other hand, NATO will do the fight for Ukraine. They will will crumble the Russia from all fronts.

Drop 50k now for barrack and you'll have like 3 - 5 soldiers follow you around for a whole day.

Russia wants to attack and then puts almost all her military officers and the hardware to execute the invasion within satellite imagery of the US , Ukraine and NATO Allies? That's lame and militarily unintelligent. I believe Putin just wants to push oil price up than actually invade Ukraine. It's going to be un-winnable war like the UAE versus Houthis in Yemen

ogbeni read to understand. You came here claiming the US doesn't have Taiwanese interest at hand but it's because of the same US Taiwan is still standing. So what if they are pulling strings, how does that not imply that they have Taiwanese interest at hand.

China is world power with how many allies?.... seriously how do you people think US is recognised as a world power. Do you think it's only because of military and economic might?
You still have a lot to learn before coming to say what you clearly don't have an idea about.

You talk about Iraq but won't talk about the liberation of Kuwait from the hands of Iraq or the ending of Al Qaeda from the Middle East.

You mention Afghanistan but won't say anything about how the citizens of Afghanistan risked their own life to get on the last plane of the "invader" just to leave the "peaceful" Talibans reign. You won't mention the women that have been forced to stop working or the girls that have been stopped from acquiring education.

Like I said earlier, what exactly are u saying cause all you have done is not say anything

If you look at the world map and see how close Ukraine is to Russia, you'll know why NATO and EU dey die to bring them into their fold. That way, as a member state, they can place any kind of weaponry facing Russia and then Russia is in soup if it goes against any of their interest.

Most pple think it's just abt "Russia invading Ukraine"...the kind of international politics being played here is beyond us.
Uptill now, no WMD has been found in Iraq, yet US conveniently invaded a "sovereign" nation like Iraq. Same "sovereignty" that was cast aside when France lauched air assaults against Libyan military forces for months.

Exactly. Lybia was the most prosperous country in Africa before NATO invaded it. The funny thing is that Russia might invade Ukraine and NATO can't do shit. The US don't want a nuclear war with Russia. Don't mind all these people watching CNN and BBC.

USA has almost 60,000 troops in the whole of Europe, in Germany alone they have like 35,000 troops in the country. They've maintain a high military presence in Germany since the end of world war two. And no foreign military has a regiment in the USA
