  1. They have no reason or gain about going further into Ukraine, that's the 'problem'. Ukraine is no threat to Russia. Crimea is the location of Russia's naval bases, very important to their defence in that region, and could not risk to lose access to with the pro-russian government of Ukraine kicked out in 2014. The rest of Ukraine is poverty and trouble to them, nothing they want to hold.

  2. Keep up threats toward Ukraine in order to get diplomatic victories in negotiations with the west and NATO will make Putin a star among the russian people. Actually invading poor trouble ridden Ukraine that oppose not threat, for no reason other than 'I don't like they being frineds with the west, and holding it spending billions, soliders deths, getting lots of sanctions and so on hurting the russian economy even more, would be seen as a loss. Putin is not a stupid man.

  3. It would been naive to think that Ukraine government going from looking to the west instead of the east,would come at no cost. Of course those most eatern pro-russian regions would not agree, and would want to be independent, continue looking to the east and Russia. Ukraine should focus on buliding 'New Ukraine' with connections towards EU, not wasting more lives and resources in the east. A hopeless war that can go on for decades. Anyway, good luck to all. (I am not russian or pro-russian)

  4. No. It's a threat. If actual invasion planned, things would looked normal at the borders, not giving the enemy months to prepare and build up. An invasion would happened quick and smooth, with millitary transported to the border from distant parts of russia, quickly.

  5. Putin, like him or not, is a highly inteligent and tactical man. He knows everything about this. He knows he go as far as using threats in order to get some possible diplomatic victories, but actually invade will just work the opposite, NATO getting even more eager to expand east, opposed to retract as Putin wish.

  12. Crashed, bankerupt and poor is good. It has helped the US be the biggest economical power in the world, 25% of world GDP, far ahead of number 2.

  13. Putin just want to be left alone, to have Nato redraw their weapon systems from Eastern Europe, close up to the Russian border. Sure the US won't be to happy if China joint forces with Mexico and put up theri weapon systems along the US-Mexico border. From Putins side it's just a show of power in the region, threats, to possible have some diplomatci victories with the west/Nato. Invading Ukraine do not serve Putin's purpose at all. Of course he knows, he is not stupid. And the russian people would not be happy about him spending billions going into poor trouble ridden Ukraine

  14. The ukrainians, and russians, knows this is a show of strength going on. Putin wish some diplomatic victory with Nato. Actually invade, without being attacked first, will be a big los. Putin is not stupid.

  15.  @KoguryoKid  one can call things intolerable and speak fine words and etichs, but it won't help towards a deadlock. The Ukrainian government changed from eastern looking to western looking. It would been very navie to think that would happen without a cost. No matter Russia or not, Ukraine has been diviede in two for decades, north and west looking to western Europe, south and east are pro-russian. Ukraine should concentrate on building the new modern Ukraine, and let problem regions sail theiri own way

  17. It's a threat situation. Russia won't do anything unless they are attacked first

  18. They would done it many years ago if they found Ukraine being a threat to Russia. But they did not. What we see these days is show of power, and threats, in order to get some diplomatic victories

  19. No. It's a threat situation

  20. Ukraine should be more wise. Keep good relations with both Russia and the west. Sadly they were not that wise and diplomatic

  21. Weapons industry is a very big business in the US, and other countries naturally. Threats and wars means jobs and income. The weapons industry spend a lot of money towards US congress people

  22. there is a war going on, for 8 years, in eastern Ukrain, on the border to Russia. Ukraine have a lot of weapons and soilders there. Of course not Russia, or any other country with a war going on at their border, would sit totally passive watching. It's natural one keeps one's troops at allert just in case

  23. just standing up for his country, like most leaders. The USA would not be too happy it China allied with Mexico and put up a lot of weapons systems along the southern US border, right?

  24. Not at all. He is just standing up for his country. Not attacking if not being attacked first.
