How, in your estimation, could it have been averted then?
The west doesn’t really hold the cards at the moment.
- jacquesm 5y agoThat's mostly because they have more to lose.
- wbsss4412 5y agoThat doesn’t really answer the question. You claimed that this wasn’t inevitable. From today’s vantage point, it seems pretty clear that this was Putin’s intent all along.
- avgcorrection 5y agoThe West was ambivalent about eventual Ukraine membership in Nato for 8+ years. What has that achieved? - If Nato had put a memorandum on Ukraine membership: Russia would have less of a reason to attack but Nato wouldn’t be able to help defend Ukraine in case of an attack - Nato stays ambivalent about eventual membership: Russia is more likely to attack and, as stated by the Nato general secretary and the US president, Nato won’t help defend Ukraine in case of an attack
- kelnos 5y ago> memorandum I assume you mean "moratorium"?
- avgcorrection 5y agoYes :)
