Oh you mean after Russia invaded Crimea? And even if NATO was "in Ukraine" like you say, that's no reason to go to war. Russia has a nuclear deterrent. It doesn't need a buffer state. This isn't the 1890s.

Countries have a right to self determination. So even if Ukraine was looking to join NATO, which it wasn't, that is not a valid reason to invade your sovereign neighbor. The number one driver of NATO expansion is Russian aggression.

Underwhelming and utterly dissapointing. First of all, that was a question of mine and not a statement that would imply a lie. Second of all, you're full of crap. Ukraine was, is, and will be an independent and sovereign state that can choose what to do with it's own future, on it's own; if it's population wants to join UE or NATO, so be it. Besides an agreement that never existed on paper and Stoltenberg's cat, there aren't any substantial facts that would help your „narrow point of view“ and the stupid propaganda that it's trying to spread: Ukraine had changed it's constitution that would define it's political orientation towards UE and NATO 5 years after Russia invaded it's territories (in 2019/in late February of 2014), or there hadn't been any official court/investigation, not even russian I believe, that would confirm/state that whatever happened in Ukraine was a „civil war“. Also, didn't Russia try to join NATO in the early 00's? Why make an enemy of it now, nothing much has changed since then.

Should've added mic drops after „time to update your script and get some new talking points“, smh...
