I do not accept that any NATO country wants to break up Russia .How would the so called break up be of advantage to the Western Powers?We should be investing in peace rather than creating conditions which might trigger a War .

@patrickkerner1471 I think most people can see the Russian point of view and understand the fear of the Ukrainians.

@sabakvetenadze6546 Some years ago the USA gave a guarantee to a Russian President that NATO would not seek the membership of former Russian satellites.The guarantee has not been observed and that is why Putin is concerned about Ukraine becoming a member. The Ukrainians suggest they are in peril from a bellicose Russia but is that a correct interpretation of what is happening? I am not in a position to know but the discussion between Biden and Putin may have clarified the situation and ,hopefully reduced tension.

@SvetlanaRakhim you express your views eloquently and I thank you. Unfortunately Politicians do not appear to acknowledge past debts and the USA is to some extent withdrawing from its role as leader of the West. I pray that past mistakes do not lead to war.

@Bradgilliswhammyman You are correct but that was after an Eastern expansion of NATO.

@sabakvetenadze6546 In return I believe the USA was assured that the borders of the Eastern States would be respected .I do not know if this was incorporated in a written text but it was clearly an understanding.

@sabakvetenadze6546 I think a written agreement has more force than an understanding.

@asmirann3636 Well personally I think that is not in the interests of the Globe as a whole .Thank you for the clarification because that end game had not occurred to me .
