I wouldn't dare try to explain Russia's actions, so you feel free to go for it.
I merely stated my stance that 'any country has the right to defend her borders'.
Is this the first time one country has made a move on another?
If Putins objectives are foreign to you, I would suggest his recent statements. Yours to read and make an informed * opinion.
Not a 'Putin' expert by any means like you and several others here.
You say that, yet, you have a very pro Putin outlook.
That would be very wrong as I become more Isolationist by the day. I truly hate for the common-folk of both Ukraine & Russia what the pols[primarily Putin] have done to them.
How did isolationist thoughts prevent WW1, WW2, KOREA, VIETNAM, ETC...
