    Snicky, one-sided reasoning – “Well, Ukraine has done it. But! It’s still Russia who is to blame”. That’s why we have what we do.

    If Ukraine hadn’t played with the attempts to join NATO, invited by USA and Europe, Russia wouldn’t have invaded it. If Ukraine hadn’t descriminated the russians in Lugansk and Donetsk for a decade, Russia wouldn’t have invaded it.

      @cuenca @Cyclist That was the EXCUSE, not the reason. The reason was that Putin wants to completely rebuild the USSR and that entails expanding its borders over UKr, Moldovia, Romania, Bulgaria, etc. until it looms over Europe and then take the rest of Europe. It is a KNOWN ambition of his. Don’t be silly. This is about one man’s megalomaniac dreams. It has only superficial connections to real politics.

        One more sorry-ass expert on what “Putin wants”. How can you possibly know that? Have you asked him?
