  1.  @THE-X-Force  Tell me what aggression caused every expansion of NATO since 1991. Otherwise, spew that propaganda in someone else's ear. As for Crimea, the Russians could legitimately claim that Ukraine illegally annexed Crimea in 1991. As a matter of fact, Russia could legitimately claim that all territory held under Ukraine SSR was simply an administrative area, and all territory acquired since 1654 was illegally annexed by Ukraine in 1991. And in your own words, Crimea regardless of its status in the past, IS Russian? And Dobas IS Russian? And Eastern Ukraine IS Russian. If the only legitimacy needed to hold land, is what the US and Western Europe say, then there will definitively be a nuclear war, either in Ukraine or in Taiwan, another territory I'm not amused being taxed over.

  2. Crimea was part of the nation of Ukraine since 1991. That's it. Before that, it was Russian clay or administrated by Ukraine SSR (which was also Russian clay.) If NATO is to expand into Ukraine, and Crimea is to be Ukrainian, then Crimea would become NATO clay and a potential staging ground for US troops, as close as 500 miles from Moscow (Kharkiv is 500 miles by road from Moscow, I googled it.) As a historian, every time a powerful military was on Russia's doorstep, an invasion followed. Napoleon in the 1800s. Hitler in the 1940s. My guess is that Russians have a trauma when it comes to powerful militaries setting up shop on their doorstep and that has caused this entire problem. My prediction is, if it looks like they are about to lose Ukraine or Ukraine is about to become NATO, the Russians will first incinerate about 20 million Ukrainians. It will be a sad day and probably the last day of modern humanity. All because the US wants to expand its network of alliances closer and closer to Russia's border. As an American, I am not amused because I'm paying for it, while the Republiturds are talking Social Security cuts, as someone born in Poland, I am worried about my family in Poland and Germany, and finally as someone with extended family (mother's side) in Eastern Ukraine I am sad because I most likely have family under the Russian boot heel all because US Senators and Presidents don't know how to respect other countries' 'RED LINES.'
