I guess we'll know in about a week, when the deadline expires which Putin's sock-puppet Lavrov has set.
And the 100.000 troops stationed near Ukraine are almost a dozen times the number claimed in the article.
I do feel a certain remorse since we've forsaken on our promise not to expand NATO towards the Russian border and have continually tried to undermine Russia's nuclear deterrent with our BMD system. I also fear there's a certain amount of disinterest in the U.S. government towards the sensitivities involved. The U.S. doesn't see Russia as an equal, even though it's the only nation that can completely wipe the it off the map, which brings with it a certain degree of resentment.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> I do feel a certain remorse since we've forsaken on our promise not to expand NATO towards the Russian border No such promise was ever made, and even Gorbachev who started the myth by saying he felt tricked by the West when NATO expanded into former Warsaw Pact countries (beyond the United Germany where East Germany had been a Pact country) later specifically admitted that no promise was ever made and the issue of potential expansion beyond United Germany was never even discussed one way or the other.
