The fears of Europe is once they took Ukraine they will start taking up other territories of the old USSR and maybe start challenging other European countries Putin handled the whole thing too much in a rush. Fine NATO could have used Ukraine to get to him but other countries near him like Poland are in NATO so that is not still justified. It the same reason why NATO doesn't want to help out with America nobody is interested in expansion politics especially after they wanted to take Greenland.
Did I hear you say nobody is interested in expansion politics?
The way you guys analyze Int'l politics do amaze me atimes.
What do you called 'expansion politics'?
In 1991,USSR was balkanized into 15 countries due to external pressure from Europe and America.
The NATO that was formed for that purpose was made to sign an agreement at Warsaw with Russia that they will not expand to any of the new countries splinted from Russia.
Today, NATO you said are not interested in expansion politics has expanded to almost all the countries formally of Russia in defiance to the earlier agreement they signed with Russia.
Then among the 15 countries splitted from Russia, Ukraine is the only one that is a part of them as majority of the Ukrainians are Russians.
So, Russia pleaded with NATO that they should not attempt to expand further to Ukraine which is Russia itself.That they have already taken every other former Russian territories without Russia fighting with them.
That they should leave Ukraine which is Russia alone.But they refused.
In 2014,they sponsored internal insurrection in Ukraine that ousted an elected president,Victor Yanukovic for being Pro-Russia and installed a Pro-NATO Zelensky.
Zelensky then sponsor a bill in Parliament to obliterate Russian language in schools,and kickstart the process of joining NATO and EU.
Putin warned him.He didn't listen.
And Putin,in an attempt to prevent NATO/EU from surrounding his country and finally attacking them went to war with Ukraine/NATO.

And out of sentiment,you are here saying he acted in a rush.
What rush?
So,to you,he should have waited until his enemy surrounds him before he act, right?

Secondly,NATO taking over former Russian territories against Warsaw Pact and Budapest treaty is not expansion politics to you, right?

NATO, building their military Bases all over the middle east that is not their territory is not an expansion politics to you also?

America attempting to annex Greenland, Mexico and Canada is not an expansion politics , according to you.
Since nobody is interested in expansion politics again.
You try well ..oo!!!

You're grasping at straws - Poland, Finland and Sweden are not insignificant countries. Each of them of is far more "dangerous" to Russia than Poland (I put dangerous in quotes because, outside of you people's imagination, nobody wants to attack Russia. No Nato, Not USA. Not Ukraine.)

You're lying. There is no formal application to join Nato made by Zelensky and there is no document or record of a meeting in which Nato agreed to admit Ukraine. Again, your imagination is playing tricks on you.
Lol....Finland and Sweden more dangerous than Poland.....I am done arguing with you...like WTF man. cheesy .

[b] How can you say you are a world power, but you can't take over a small neighboring country ruled by the so-called comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 4 years,
Ukraine is not fighting alone, weapons and mercenaries from all around the world. Left alone, Ukraine would have fallen long time ago

whereas the real world powers are feasting in Venezuela, Iran, and many other countries who are your allies?
Iran is alone. And Trump and Netanyahu just found out that they have messed with the wrong country

Trump boasted to take over Iran in 2 days. Like Maduro.

He said it'll be swift and decisive victory and Iran would surrender.

How's that going?

Also, I dare you to show us where Putin said he'll take over Ukraine in 2 weeks.
@Russia
Countries that have supported Russia in its war against Ukraine, yet the empty bully called Putin is still clueless:

1. North Korea
~ Sent 10,000–15,000 troops to assist Russian forces.
~ Supplied artillery shells, rockets, and ballistic missiles.
~ Provided large quantities of Soviet-compatible ammunition.

2. Iran
~ Supplied Shahed attack drones used in strikes on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.
~ Provided drone technology, training, and technical support.
~ Reportedly transferred short-range ballistic missiles.

3. Belarus
~ Allowed Russia to launch attacks from Belarusian territory.
~ Provided military bases, airfields, and logistical support.
~ Hosted Russian troops and missile systems.

4. Syria
~ Some Syrian fighters volunteered to fight alongside Russian forces.
~ Political support for Russia in international forums.

5. China
~ Provided economic and trade support, helping Russia bypass some sanctions.
~ Supplied dual-use technologies (electronics, machine tools, drone components).
~ Increased energy trade with Russia.

6. Cuba
~ Some Cuban citizens recruited to fight for Russia as contract soldiers (not official Cuban military deployment).

7. Nepal
~ Nepalese nationals recruited into the Russian army as foreign fighters.

8. Serbia
~ Some Serbian volunteers reportedly joined Russian units.

9) Illegal recruitments of war mercenaries in thousands from African countries like Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Niger etc


@Iran
Iran’s allies who are helpless to support Iran against against the US and Israel:
~ Strategic state partners: Russia, China, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela
~ Regional militia allies: Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, Iraqi militias
~ Friendly or cooperating states: Iraq, Qatar, Turkey, Armenia

Give it up to the real world powers, Trump/Netanyahu

Point out where I said or implied that Finland and Sweden and more dangerous than Poland. Seems all Putin bots struggle with basic comprehension.

What have they achieved now? Trump is asking for fresh 200 billion dollars to continue fighting the poor Iran with no airforce, even before the war started. Netanyahu's Israel is receiving direct missiles hits back to back like everyday, everywhere is being hit. Recording 150, 200, 70 injured people with no single death grin
Epic misadventure of our time together

All this are your problem.....and as for your claims that no one wants to attack Russia it's just them thinking that way.....what will you view someone who views you as a threat regardless of whether you've ever attacked them before?.

Not deaths.

About 10 million Ukrainians fled to neighboring countries. About 2 million are dead or wounded, while the remaining 8 million are in Russian occupied regions in Ukraine.

Since these Ukranian territories are now basically Russian, the inhabitants would no longer be counted as Ukranians.

By the way, 3 million Ukrainians fled to Russian mainland in the early months of the war.

The problem with immigration is that it'll be hard for those that left to return, majority of them are women. They've started whole new lives in their various countries and might never return to an unstable and unsafe country.

All it'll take is a single generation for those Ukranians to fully convert to the nationality of their host countries. Ukraine has lost them forever.
Ohhh ok now I get it

In 4 years 20 million gone.

Would you like to see another 20 million gone in another 4 years?

And FYI, if you believe Ukranian men are the ones still holding ground, I have a bridge to sell you.

Ukraine recruits from every part of the world. There are dozens of websites where any random person can apply and join. Easy.
Those 20m were not killed in the war i don't even think up to 2m Ukrainians has been killed in this ongoing war. Those 20m includes those living in the regions that russia captured and Ukrainians that has fled Ukraine.

So Putin promised to capture Volodymyr Zelenskyy dead or alive, and take over Ukraine in 2 weeks. Yet after 4 years of throw drones into residencial areas in Ukraine like Iran, he lies to himself that Ukraine's population is now reduced by half.

Even the Russia fanboy, the OP, believes the propaganda that 20 millions Ukraine are gone. You folks are all comedians. Common sense should have let you know that Ukraine isn't stopping its citizens from taken shelters in other European countries until the war is over. In your feeble mind, 20 millions Ukrainians are dead.

How can you say you are a world power, but you can't take over a small neighboring country ruled by the so-called comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 4 years, whereas the real world powers are feasting in Venezuela, Iran, and many other countries who are your allies?
Putin and his russian people really lacks wisdom imagine fighting an unreasonable war for years now without achieving it's major objectives when putin could have just captured zelensky like the way trump easily captured the Venezuelan president and later changed the country's policies that favoured the US.
