The US is threatening ? So what, they do this every day and seldom leave a single country out. Yawn.

How about this szenario ? The Ukraine creates an enviroment with attacks on Donbass etc. The Russians will come to aid the Russians there. Will this trigger Nato to get involved and trigger WWIII ? Perhaps the Ukrainian Gov. hopes so and the US could export more weapons. Win-Win ??

Russian Family Squabble. One Country thirty years ago and for a thousand years before that.

Russia in fact originated from Kiev / Ukraine. NATO / Ukraine cannot defend / hold Ukraine from Russia.

NATO can however make such victory SO expensive for Putin he wont try.

NATO Diplomatic & Economic Sanctions ONLY.

NATO must guarantee Russia that Ukraine will never be admitted to NATO. Fact Anyway as some nation WILL Veto any Vote for that. Massive Putin Fear as he clearly intends to recover Ukraine.

Leave Putin Hanging as to what Military actions NATO would take if Russis invades. NATO assist Ukraine with Intelligence & Logistics. No NATO boots in Ukraine. No Western blood shed defending Russians. Doomed by history and culture to be permanently undemocratic under tyrants. Present Ukrainian Democracy a short intermission I fear.

Do you ever realized that the Donbass is in the Ukraine and not in Russia?! Sure the Russians invaded the Ukraine! What an absolute absurd comment! Every country would defend their country to agressors like Russia. Sure they have to kick out Russian soldiers and paid legions from their country and nobody would accept any Russian troops would come to eu ground and would fight back. The only one who triggers a war is Russia and China.
