    Well....no one is trying to "take over" Ukraine...(other than Russia at the moment), if Ukraine wants to join Nato ,it's their prerogative, Nato never pressured anyone.

    Otoh.....Kremlin baby nugget is scared $hitless if Ukraine does join Nato/EU....then Putler is finished...he may well know this.:).

    Russia moves more troops westward amid Ukraine tensions


    January 19, 2022

    " MOSCOW (AP) — Russia is sending an unspecified number of troops from the country’s far east to Belarus for major war games, officials said Tuesday, a deployment that will further beef up Russian military presence near Ukraine amid Western fears of a planned invasion.

    Amid the soaring tensions, the White House warned that Russia could attack its neighbor at “any point,” while the U.K. delivered a batch of anti-tank weapons to Ukraine. "

    If Ukraine joins NATO, just what is the whole nation of Ukraine? Ukraine needs to be defined.

    Maps are very important. They are a representation of what power thinks of political geography.

    Putin is re-living Germany of 1939.

    If only Bush 41 not been so stupid, none of this would be happening....but it is.

    Maybe Vlad can get his foreign minister to pound sand or get him to for companionship while he does as well?

    I would suspect it would be defined by the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances signed by Russia in 1994 assuring the territorial integrity of Ukraine that included Crimea.

    Irony

    Putin lived and worked in East Germany and may have been Stasi [in addition to KGB]

    Putin was based in East Germany when the Berlin Wall mysteriously fell on a symbolic German date, Nov 9, 1989

    Putin is fluent in German as is his [former] wife who was born in Kalinigrad [formerly Prussia] and taught German at a Russian university. One of Putin's daughters was born in Germany. Both daughters attended the private "German School" in Moscow. Those who claim to know them personally say, the Putin family spoke German at home.

    When Putin first officially returned to Germany as president of Russia, a major German news headline said: "Welcome, Putin the German"

    See, we need a definition that is accepted by all. Arguments over what is the correct map is how many wars start. Or am I wrong?

    I think this is a lot more explosive than some posters here understand. The history of Russia shows the country takes threats on their borders very, very seriously and are willing to use military force. Unless we’re prepared to take on massive combat in the region we’d better find a peaceful resolution.

    It is explosive...no doubts.

    And those said countries aren't interested in ...anymore....with being hitched to the Russians.

    It's no fault of anyone's except the Russkis....they painted themselves into this corner....so to speak. The collapse of their SU,Warsaw Pact,Afghanistan defeat, Chechnya,Georgia,Ukraine, etc....is all on them.
