I'll repeat it again. There was no reasonable threat by Ukraine to Russia. None! Ukraine was NOT seeking to become a member of NATO although they have every right to do it. Ukraine was not a threat to invade Russia. There is no justification for what Russia is doing. None!

You can repeat it until the cows come home, but that still won't make it true. Of course Ukraine is "not a threat to invade Russia" but its possible alliance with NATO would pose an unacceptable threat to Russia's defense in the event of war against NATO.

Your response keeps ignoring what I said.

I said that Ukraine was NOT seeking to become a member of NATO. The people didn't want to be part of NATO. Not one Ukrainian president wanted to become part of NATO. This has been well documented over the last several years.

Yet you ignore that and you keep saying that Ukraine was a threat because they wanted to become a part of NATO.

Your claim is false.

And there is no justification for Russia's invasion. None!

Ukraine might have fooled you by pretending it didn't want to join NATO, but not Russia. NATO certainly wanted Ukraine to join. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what you and I believe about Russia's justification for its actions against Ukraine, Russia is acting in its perceived interest and we're in no position to stop them. It's really that simple.
