Its easy, Ukraine is not independent country, its now a US puppet. US does not care about "Ukraine" as its pp but as a tool to weaken its competitor, Russia. So US is using Ukraine to whack Russia with it. Latest is Ukraine wanting to join NATO and missile emplacement in it. This is a red line for Russia as it would mean it would loose its sovereign right. So no matter the cost, Russia needs to stop US. US is happy as with Ukrainian lives and EU money it is keeping Russia low. Got it now?

US is forcing a war with Ukrainian blood and EU money to weaken Russia. If Ukraine is stupid enough to go for it then it alone will pay the heaviest price.

Bad comparison - much better is Cuban missile crisis - there Soviets were installing, in a state that was friendly to them, missiles that were able to threaten US at moments notice. US got ready to invade. Same here, US is setting up Ukraine to be such "Cuba" for Russia.

@duderdude4831 US stole plenty of land and no one talks about that. Also no one talks about how Crimea ended up in Ukraine at the end of Soviet Union dissolution. Same as no one talks about why Ukraine is so big - I mean the only time they ever occupied the map they were the size of Hungary today & even that is arguable.

They tried in Cuba. Did not go too well. US blockaded Cuba and had more then enough troops to invade. Heck, they even went so far as to have nukes ready.

@duderdude4831 There was no Ukraine in 1950s. Ukraine as a country was created after dissolution of Soviet Union. The 1990s treaty also removed the objection of Russia to Ukraine having Crimea - predominantly Russian populated and at least near historically Russian land in order for Ukraine to give up nukes. The leader of Ukraine at the time played weak Yeltsin to get Crimea. Things flipped recently when strong Putin played weak Ukrainian leaders to get it back. I actually did not refer to Native Americans at all, not even Texas or California or other land, I was more in line with more recent stuff, such as Kosovo, or Afghanistan or Iraq etc. Kosovo was created same as Crimea except no one bothered with referendum. Iraq and Afghanistan were (are) puppet regimes of US, in Afghanistan case the puppet was killed off by the locals. The point is why throw rocks when in glass house - why can US do this and somehow its OK. And do this 10x more then Russia.

@duderdude4831 There was no Ukraine - it was just a province of Soviet Union. I know history very, very, very well. Ukraine was in Soviet times, same as Belarus a set of provinces made up of former Polish lands and to which newly taken Polish lands were added. Crimea itself was never part of Poland as it was land of the Golden Horde that constantly invaded Poland. Poland had the Cossacks that went in after Turkey - or Ottomans as they were known. Catharine the great was a great leader as she, a German princess, not only broken the back of Ottomans but also of Poland that was weaken by democracy and liberum veto. She was the one that after multiple wars with Ottomans conquered Crimea - for the first time in history for her Russia. When looking at Ukraine in prismat of history we see that they never actually had a country and are a loose set of tribes that did not join together with tribes that formed Poland. There was an uprising of what some call "Ukrainians" few hundred years ago but their lands were tiny, about 1/6 of todays huge enormous Ukraine. Bottom line is Ukraine is as big today thanks to Soviets whom made it so big. As to Khrushchev it was administrative transfer - he did it as he was Ukrainian himself. It was one big Soviet Union - I would not really read too much into it. After dissolution of Soviet Union there were so many little wars as similar transfers have created ethnic problems. The whole thing should have been solved with simple referendums - as at the end of WWI - each region voted where they wanted to be, say in German or in Poland.

@matthewplayspc3197 This is a bit famous incident - most pp know about it.

@matthewplayspc3197 Both US and Soviets knew about almost certain use of tactical nukes. US prepared few dozen nukes for the operation. Use of nukes was expected.

I bet $100 not a single one will be able to go into the air after 3 days.

As usual problem can be traced back to the US. It is the US that needs to keep Russia down and what is the best way? Involve it in a war - proxy one. With EU paying and Ukrainians dying. Excellent. Russia cannot allow Ukraine to get missiles same way as US could not allow Cuba to have missiles. This is same as Cuba missile crisis but reverse. Its Ukrainian missile crisis. Mystery is the timing.

@mpalfadel2008 Who are the "we"? I doubt Ukraine can invade Kalingrad given that it would need to cross through Belarus. Also for all purposes military Koningsberg is connected to Russia through land. Finally you can thank British for even there being Koningsberg - more to the point thank Winston.

@mpalfadel2008 I doubt it. Koningsberg is quite well defended. Any attack would mean entry of Belarus into the conflict and Russians overrunning Lithuania. Poles would need to worry about 400km border with Belarus. Most Poles actually don't mind Russians, they are culturally similar. We joke about some things, like women using extensive red lipstick.

Too bad Biden was not left alone. He had two minders with him to make sure he keeps the line... and is awake.
