Well I have been to Baltic state and I don’t see anyone panic over Russia.

because majority of them are NATO members. Hence one of the reasons Ukraine wants to join against all odds.

NATO was formed to originally tackle RUSSIA. To whose benefits?

Go read the hidden books that is in the glare view to know what you do not know.

you claim to have read yet you don't know anything. Conspiracy theory enthusiast.

NATO was formed to stop USSR expansion into Western Europe because after the war, Europe was up for grabs, their economy was down, most of the countries didn't have enough military might to put up a resistance in such scenario.

Ever since the fall of USSR, NATO has evolved to be the military bloc of Europe and champion of democracy and human rights. It's not all about Russia.
Russia is the one making it about them to feel relevant .

But you wouldn't know all that because that doesn't get you off on Conspiracy

Since the tension arose I've noticed that UN haven't say anything concerning perceived Invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Ukraine is an independent and a sovereign nation And also a member of United Nation. Any Invasion of Ukraine by Russia will strip her sovereign status. The UN charter has so far against FOREGIN Invasion of another state and requires collective responds by all members to detter the potential aggressor. So far the issue of possible invasion of Ukriane, UN has far being silent and haven't say anything in relation with the issue. EU has taken the issue up but UN has been behind curtain with no appropriate respond to protect Ukrianias from losing her independent. UN is truly a toothless dog when the game nations play involve Bull dogs and can flex muscle when the weaker states are involved in International politics...
If Russia invade Ukraine it will set another precedent in International politics in which China will follow suits in annexing Hongkong and Taiwan.
It's reality that what sovereignty makes equal, power makes unequal.
Following the trends with postive anticipation of Diplomatic manovering .
Political arm twisting going on at the moment.
International Chess.
Russia is currently the highest supplier of gas to Europe. Nord Stream 2 is set to double that. Recently read in the news that US is in talks with Qatar to consider supplying gas to Europe. They are about to ban supply of chips to Russia, but I'm sure Russia will turn to Asian tech coys to solve that.
Meanwhile, Putin is sipping vodka and playing silent while US is making all the noise.
I personally believe UN and EU are useless.
Anyway...what's ur take on the China-Tiawan-US side of things.

Cuba are still under Russian "influence", so where is the war
Also, where on earth is there any credible Intel that weapons will be placed in Ukraine.
If Russia is provocating because of ballistic missiles in Ukraine from the "West" that's justifiable but this one there's nothing of that nature so how is that the same as Cuba.
So you do not know that USA is already erecting war weapons company via Canada in Ukrain?

You think USA will risk NY, CA and DC for Baltic states?
Even when Russia was weak in 2008, after USA and NATO promised Georgia that they will come to their aid if Russia attacked but USA have to beg Former French president and Merkel before Russia agreed to stop because Russia military destroyed Georgians troops within 5 days.

G.Bush have given many interviews, on why USA military don’t keep to their promises.

The USA should not have plan to move Ukraine to NATO because USA can’t allow Russia to have missiles in Cuba or Mexico.
Imagine if Russia start having military exercises with Mexico.

Crimea have been part of Russia empire before USA was created.
Turks with the help French and British vs Russia more than 10 times because of Crimea.
Russia Navy have been in Crimea for over 500 years.

Now let's look at it from this perspective
..former USSR nations are joining NATO which I believe would provide a form of umbrella protection against future invasion from Russia.
At the same time, Russia is concerned about NATO allied US amassing too much power along it's corridor.
Under NATO's weapon sharing treaty, US can decide so set up missle silos in Ukraine... Russia has every right to be concerned.
Forget all the hype..all the players just want to protect their interest.

you and dz Georgian war every time. But I guess when you don't have much to celebrate you must milk the only cow you get.

If not for your usual misrepresentation of events. First Georgia asked to join NATO to put a stop to Russian bullying, NATO rejected but as they usually do promised to aid Georgia in her defense which they did, there was no promise anywhere that NATO will deployed soldiers to come and fight for a country that wasn't part of it.
They trained some Georgian soldiers not all. The Georgian President decide to use those troops to go to war.

But here you are in every thread talking about NATO promising to fight for Georgia and US begging this and that to appease Russia. lol dude you funny. Even if Russia were to kill all Georgian in what way would it affect US that will cause them to go begging.

Anyway...what's ur take on the China-Tiawan-US side of things.[/quot Truly Hong-kong and Taiwan are part of China but self determination is a fundamental right of all group who feel not aligne with any entity they found themselves. UN is in support of self- determination by the virtue of her Charter. On China and USA issues concerning Taiwan and Hong-kong. Recently China has been incurring into Taiwan airspace without any confrontation. China can invade Hongkong and Taiwan at anytime with easiness and USA will only bark and sanction of which will have little Impacts on China. What's keeping China from annexing the duo is not to appear as an aggressor or make enemies at this critical stage of her economic and political growth. Any military action will dent her political image as a communist state which are known as being aggressor and will create enemity between her and the west.

US doesn't have Taiwan interest yet because of them Taiwan is still an independent country. Because of them Japan and Australia have pledged to defend Taiwan sovereignty. South Korea will soon join in the defense of Taiwan.
