@andrzejbarcelonafrlk6416 "Well, you could say Crimea was part of the Russian empire, but it wasn't Russia,
like many countries that regained independence."
Crimea was part of Russia and was handed over to Ukraine in 1957 by Khruschnev a Ukrainian!
My point being that the people are predominantly Russian and voted unamiously to rejoin Russian Fed.
***********************************
"(unless you agree president Putin is another Peter the Great to retake parts of the late empire
(what about Alaska ?)) Would you equally say Russia is part of Mongolia, because it was part of
the empire created by Ginghis Han ?"
that is just nonsense, thought this was a serious exchange.
***********************************
Do you know any source to confirm the hmmm... idea of "no move of NATO eastwards"?
here is one which is a tad pro western.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/12/russias-belief-in-nato-betrayal-and-why-it-matters-today
"A new book, Not One Inch: America, Russia, and the Making of the Cold War Stalemate, by the prize-winning historian Mary Elise Sarotte,
charts all the private discussions within the western alliance and with Russia over enlargement and
reveals Russia as powerless to slow the ratchet effect of the opening of Nato’s door. The author concludes
the charge of betrayal is technically untrue, but has a psychological truth."
"At one level it narrowly focuses both on verbal commitments made by the US secretary of state James Baker under
President George HW Bush and the terms of a treaty signed on 12 September 1990 setting out how Nato troops could
operate in the territory of the former East Germany.
Putin claims that Baker, in a discussion on 9 February 1990 with the Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, made the
promise that Nato would not expand to the east if Russia accepted Germany’s unification.
The following day Chancellor Helmut Kohl, ambiguous about Germany remaining in Nato after unification, also told
Gorbachev “naturally Nato could not expand its territory to the current territory of the GDR”. The promise was
repeated in a speech by the Nato secretary general on 17 May, a promise cited by
Putin in his Munich speech. In his memoirs, Gorbachev described these assurances as the moment that cleared
the way for compromise on Germany.
***********************************
Why would B. Yeltsin then say and sign Russia has nothing against of the access of Poland in 1999?
Because he was a drunk and sold out to the west and Russian was in no position to demonstrate, they
were a basket case through the 90's. That's why NATO had a free run to rain missiles on Serbia for 90 days.
***********************************
Also, if you go off topic , o you know how many Ukrainians "worship" S. Bandera (and why?) ?
percentage know but many of those in Politics and the armed forces. They don't try to hide it.
