Are you serious? NATO were training them and built them up. They might not invade Russia, but donbass region? They have the capability to do it. It might be dumb from your perspective, but after 2014 and the ethnic Russian in that region separate, it’s basically becoming a civil war and there’s no way Russia, Putin or not would let the whole Ukraine be control by nato/nato train force.

I dont care if Ukraine invades itself, thats its own business. The idea Ukraine would really pose any real threat to Russia is just dumb, its the poorest country in Europe and Russia has 6000 nuclear warheads.

Well, the Donbass region ask Russia for help. Again, Russian will not tolerate any nato force/nato train force in Ukraine. 6k war head doesn’t matter when the enemy force is next to your border that nato could put nuke that aim straight at Moscow. This is just a classic battle for influence, the Russian will not tolerate any force next to them just as the US will not tolerate any military build up near them, which is why they tried to invade Cuba in the first place, because they can’t control them, if they can’t control them then they blockade them.

Ukraine has been bombing civilians for nearly a decade and allowed Nazi paramilitaries to harass and kill them.

You “dont care” about that? It’s Ukraine’s “own business?”

Fuck you dude, also this provides a lot of context for the repeated threads you posted to whine about anti-war conferences.

Yeah no, the Ukrainians were absolutely building up for an invasion of Crimea, that was explicitly the position of the coup regime

You don’t maintain a 700,000 strong army just to have it sit on Russia’s borders for eternity

Ukrainian military buildup from 2014 represented the largest, by percentage of population, non-superpower military buildup since WWI. They weren’t just building it up for funsies. What they were going to use it for, I couldn’t say, but you generally don’t build up that much of a military while in the middle of a civil war and not use it to retake the area that has separated.

Plus probably Crimea, since they were talking about it so much.
