Because there are onion dome churches there, and everyone speaks Russian and eats borscht. It isn’t submitting to see what is simply none of our business.
I don’t see Russia invading Europe. I’ve seen the EU try to push NATO, literally right up to the Russian border, and then act SHOCKED that the Russians seem threatened and react.
This isn’t rocket science...(well, I guess it could be eventually if McCain and Obama have their way.)
We are seeing Russia trying to kill their way literally up to NATO’s borders, and you support it.
If you don’t think that Russia is going to invade us, then quit worrying, we will continue to find ways to support Ukraine through sanctions, and aid.
Ukraine becoming part of NATO puts NATO 300 miles from Moscow. Given that Russia lost 20-30 million people in WWII to the Germans (who a mere decade before seemed defeated), do you think it is likely they will permit Ukraine to become part of NATO?
How would the US react if North Carolina became an independent country, and then China tried to form a military alliance with North Carolina?
