So Russia has right to invade Ukraine just because Ukraine wants to join NATO?

Isnt that a step taken too far?

Russia is a bully. How do you tell a sovereign state not to join an organization( NATO) just because they are your rivals or competitors?


At the end, Russia will meet its loo.

This is silly.
Go read "Cuban Missile Crisis."
Start there.

You see why some countries want to seek nuclear weapon. A county will think twice before invading such country.

Russia is acting this way because it is a big nation with a poorly defensible border that has been subject to varied invasions over the years, most recently from the French and a hundred years later, the Germans, twice.

Thus Russia always makes sure its neighbors are run by 'freindly' governments, who can act as a buffer in case of a repeat invasion

Ukraine wants to join NATO. If that happens, and other baltic states join up too, Russia could find itself encircled by American allies and American troops on its west and east (South Korea-Japan) border, and that's a threat to its national security.

Russia also views the land known as Ukraine as its 'birthplace' so to speak...one of two.


Then why don't Russia join NATO and end this insecurities once and for all.

European countries are small in size and budgets. After WWII, their economy collapsed and with the fall of the Soviet Union, NATO opened up its membership so Eastern Europe states can join. The price you pay for security is far less than having your own Army being well equipped.
In the grand scheme, it has nothing to do with Russia. Russia makes everything about them just so they can be relevant

Lol propaganda

Literally NATO as anti Soviet


NATO should has been disbanded when ussr fell

Nobody wants war even Putin doesn't.. Putin served in ww2 he sures knows the horrors of war. Besides the Russia economy won't be able to sustain a prolonged war..when the Soviet Union collapse Russia and Ukraine emerged the biggest... Ukraine won't be a push over.. The causality will be catastrophic for both sides.. My cousin schools in Ukraine.. They are going about their normal day to day activities..

You think so? Nato knew this war will come by moving up to the Russian boarder. Can the US allow China and Russia to base troops and equipment in Mexico, Canada? Can't you remember the Cuban missile crises?
The US pledged to Russia during the de solution of the soviet union and the Berlin wall that nato wount move an inch towards Russia.
What has happened since then, over 30 countries added.
The icing on the cake is Ukraine. The US spent over 5b to over throw the legitimate government and install their puppet. The next thing was to take over the Russian naval base in Crimea and turn it to a nato naval base. A strategic naval base of the Russian black sea fleet for over 300 years. It will never be allowed! Imagine Russia having a naval base in the US gulf of Mexico.
Once Ukraine joins nato, Russia has been successfully contained by the US.
This is all about US world dominance.
Putin insist the world must be multipolar not unipolar.
He is fighting for us all.

Seems to be a one sided argument from you. Russia is expanding its military presence sporadically – making some in the West nervous. The US and Nato have made clear they want a dialogue with Russia to avoid conflict, and Moscow wants something else!

Russia wants assurances that Ukraine will never be allowed to join Nato; that Nato members will have no permanent forces or infrastructure based in Ukraine; and for a halt to military exercises near Russia's border.
Nato insists it is a defensive alliance and not a threat to Russia. Putin does not have the right to dictate to a sovereign nation!

Also, Ukraine has a right to make its own decisions as a sovereign nation, and it is not willing to give Russia such influences!

What about the support the USA gives rebels in Venezuela is that warranted?
Was the attack on Saddaam Hussein or Gaddafi warranted?

The world is not a fair place

Russia is doing what the USA has always done


When they attacked Saddam they were setting a dangerous precedent

Russia is doing what the USA has always done

True! But in this case scenario, the USA is involved and this won’t be an easy ride!

Russia: the king of cyber warfare....



Russia is right on this..

When the USSR collapsed Russia and NATO made a deal where NATO would not expand to Russia borders (Ukraine included) which they already have via Baltic states.

Bring evidence of such deal!

Why would NATO make any deal with a COLLAPSED country that could not feed itself then?

There is a difference between not happy with somebody else's actions and trying to bully them to do what you want.

Putin was born in 1952, so he didn't serve in world war 2

He most likely was conscripted into the Soviet army for two years, like most of his male peers then when he finished high school

Also putin was before 1991 an officer in the KGB, the Soviet secret police. He spent most of his service in east Germany

The U.S. maintains an embassy in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, and Ukraine maintains an embassy in the American capital Washington, D.C. In addition to diplomatic support in its conflict with Russia, the U.S. provided Ukraine with US$1.5 billion in military aid from 2014 to 2019.

What about North Korea?

NK that is threatening to nuke SK and any country like every month. Lol. Russia and China will never nuke any country first. They understand what they will lose. All the nuclear weapons Russia and China have is just for show so that western countries won't be able to bully them and probably a last resort if the world is going to end. China work so hard to have the economy they have today and becoming a world power. They are not ready to throw all that away. War can happen but nuclear weapons are no jokes. Nuclear weapon can end the world within 24hours. A f**cking miss fire of nuclear weapons can be the end of us all

To be fair both Russia and the US have their faults.

The US would never tolerate a hostile power in the Americas.
They gave the Monroe doctrine that guarantees America's dominance of the Western hemisphere.

The US Navy under President JF Kennedy blockcaded Cuba when the Soviet Union moved weapons there at the invitation of the Cuban govt.

The US would never allow such on their hemisphere, let alone border.

At the same time Russia has fuccked up a lot.
Their neighbours don't feel safe.

Putin should have played his game smarter and made his neighbours feel safer, and they wouldn't need to join NATO.

Russia weilds a huge influence over Eastern Europe and they are not a major economic power.
They have very few economic benefits to offer as an ally.
They should have been more friendly to the former Soviet States.

The invasion of Georgia, Crimea and Dombass has push Russia to where it is now.
