It is American and European meddling that have brought it this point. It is ridiculous and understandably offensive to the Russians that NATO membership for the Ukraine was being contemplated Imagine the Warsaw Pact trying to enlist Canada. What would we do? The New World Order control freaks have squandered the goodwill that was present with the fall of the Soviet Union. It’s not like the Ukraine is a paragon of virtue and western democratic values either. Well at least not other than those held by the Biden’s.
