Ukraine Conflict Getting Very Close

Re: Ukraine Conflict Getting Very Close

Are Russia really worried about NATO on the border ( NATO has been doing border exercises for years in the Ukraine, some of our soldiers train in the snow that way )

the idea that they are worried about missiles being pointed at them doesn't add up either, as Poznań to Moscow is only 1600 km away ( St Petersburg is even less ) so even medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) will hit it from the NATO base, infact the MRBM will hit most of Russia

They just don't want the Ukraine joining Nato because i think they see it has weakening Russia.
I believe they want to build another soviet union and see the Ukraine has messing it up

Time for the West to man up to Putin .

The arrogance of the Salisbury poisonings is still fresh in the mind as Is the annexing of Crimea , and let's not forget the fourteen thousand lost life's during this conflict .

Putin doesn't tolerate political rivalry. His rivals are either in prison, dead or recovering from poisoning in hospital.

Oh really....

how many USA presidential candidates are assassinated, or arrested under false pretences?
how many US journalists are thrown to their deaths from 5th floor windows for any kind of criticism of the president ?

Oh really....

Three different people have won the last three elections in the us. It's hardly "don't tolerate political rivalry" on the level of Russia.
