  1. I think a compromise must be reached. Russia (despite its aggressive behavior) does have genuine reasons for concern regarding the expansion of NATO, but Ukraine's sovereignty must be respected, too. Given the Americans' previous promise that NATO would not expand past Germany in exchange for re-unification, some rollback (at the very least, of American ground forces access) must be done to assure Russia that a superpower is not trying to contain it again. I think Ukraine could either join NATO with this above stipulation legally enshrined (not like last time, "not one inch eastwards"), or be neutral, but allowed to enter economic deals with both Russia and Europe, and buy military equipment from either side.

  2.  @Scopesdoped  NATO has twice now attacked countries unprovoked- in Afghanistan (taking control of the ISAF and carrying out airstrikes) and in Libya (just after the West convinced Libya they wouldn't do anything if he gave up his nuclear arsenal). NATO doesn't attack Russia because it can't-- not because it doesn't want to. They could come in under false pretenses, like in Iraq. Is this really hard for you to believe? All of these things have happened before. Yet your attitude is "trust me bro"

  3.  @Scopesdoped  Wow, so you lied to me and then when I called you out in it you just said "yah b-b-but it's okay when we do it!" NATO bombed Libya and Afghanistan. Unprovoked. This is a perfect reason why Russia is still suspicious of them. They will bomb any place they can get away with it. Do you wanna try and tell me "NATO is no threat to you unless you are attacking countries" again??? Pathetic liar. Also no, Osama Bin Laden was Saudi, not Afghan, and he was hiding in Pakistan, not Afghanistan. That's where the Taliban was being trained, too. Also, you really think he couldn't just move countries when they started bombing? So why'd the US spend 20 whole years in the same place?? It seems like you don't really know much
