@shawnpa that Ukraine doesn't join NATO, do we want Russian troops at our boarders? Putin is not being unreasonable.

@guywebster8018 NATO & Joe did cause this, *because they refused to agree & promise they wouldn't let Ukraine join NATO, that's why. Why? That would give American troops the right to camp troops on Ukraine's borders, and that's at Russia's boarder look at map. No way we'd allow Russian troops on our boarders!!!!

Exactly!! Finally someone gets it. If others would have listened very closely in the beginning, that's what it was about, & NATO & Joe had nothing to loose by promising Ukraine wouldn't be allowed to join NATO. Now, the news doesn't even mention the issue, that was easily resolvable, in the beginning. That's why I blame Joe for this problem & the suffering that will result.

@shawnpa well, that's Biden's & NATOs fault. All Putin ask for was for NATO & Joe to promise Ukraine would not join NATO, why? Ukraine is in Russia's front yard. If Ukraine joined NATO, american troops would be on Russia's border. Are you OK with Russian troops at our borders? If not, than what's diff?

@aveaguila7679 Putin was only asking for a promise, bla bla

@aveaguila7679 no, the promise that Ukraine won't be allowed to join NATO. Why? That gives u.s. the right to camp troops on Ukraine's borders, look at map, we'd have troops at Russia's border, and Ukraine doesn't qualify nor does it want NATOs help there, it would have been no loss for Joe & NATO to say "OK". But Joe said no, now the Ukrainian people are fkd. You don't think we'd have a problem with Russia having the rights to surround our county's border???? Think again.

@dustinbarlow1623 not the samething, China does want to grab Taiwan

@guywebster8018 what do you think we would do if Russia got Canada & Mexico to join a club (like a nato) that allowed Russia to have troops at their borders, which are ours also?
1
@guywebster8018 that's pure speculation,

@guywebster8018 demands were to never join NATO, NATO & Joe said no

@alicemariepantalone2327 true, but its a good bet NATO & u.s. won't start world war III over Ukraine, & Putin makes his boarder safe to the water, just like it would have been if NATO & Joe would have promised Ukraine would never be allowed to join NATO, why? That would legally put u.s. troops around Russian boarders. See map. Can you imagine if Russian troops were allowed by treaty to surround our boarders.

And our troops, they should have boycotted this one

@jacobmccandles1767 ya it is, if Ukrainian, in Russia's front yard, joined NATO, Russia would have american troops at Russia's boarder. Is it OK for Russia to have troops at our boarders, what, rules for thee but not for me???

@shawnpa agreed Ukrainians are in harms way): But Biden & NATO are responsible for this. First, no way corrupt Ukraine gov qualifies & would probably never join nato. *All Putin wanted was a promise from NATO & Joe, that Ukraine would never join NATO. They refused. Do you see, if Ukraine joined NATO **it would put American troops on Ukraine's borders which also borders Russia. What if Russia had Canada & mexico 'join a club' that would put Russian troops at our borders. Thus, Putin can't allow american troops on its borders, thru the open possibility of Ukraine joining NATO, we wouldn't allow it either.

@shawnpa Ukraine joining NATO allows american troops to sit on Russia's boarder, I'd be pretty dramatic if Russian troops sat around Americas boarder, no?
1
@XxCaptRedBeard no, no, no. NATO & Joe wouldn't agree that Ukraine wouldn't be allowed to join, that's all Putin asked. Any "chances" for Putin to say OK, its fine if Ukrainian joins nato, *gives u.s. troops the right to surround Russia's boarder, is nonsense. Look at a map. Is it OK if Russia has Canada & Mexico 'join a club' that gives Russian troops the right to camp on our boarders? You believe fake news
1
@shawnpa letting Ukraine join NATO **gives American troops the right to camp on Russia's boarders!! That's a huge no no for Russia just like it would be the other way around for us!! Imagine Russian troops at our borders!
