You're repeating Kremlin lies. Nobody is responsible for this war except Russia.
- danbruc 5y agoIf the Cuban Missile Crisis would have ended differently, if Russia had not backed down and it would have turned into an armed conflict, who would have been responsible?
- depressedpanda 5y agoThat's not a valid comparison. Nobody tried to install nukes in Ukraine.
- vandreas2 5y agoI don't think trying to join the EU and installing nukes is even remotely comparable.
- danbruc 5y agoJoining the EU was not what Russia opposed, I think Putin even stated that he has no issues with that, it was joining NATO what Putin considered a security thread. So you have to think about the consequences of Ukraine joining NATO. There are NATO nuclear weapons in Turkey, I don't know where exactly, but Turkey is as little as 170 km (100 mi) from the Russian border, separated only by Georgia, which is also supposed to become a NATO member according to the Bucharest declaration. So is it really that hard to imagine that Russia might be worried about nuclear weapons at their borders? And I am no expert, I am not sure what kind of assets would be of the greatest concern, maybe it would be anti ballistic missile system weakening your nuclear posture, maybe it would just be a large number of tanks. So don't focus too much on me saying nuclear weapons but think more broadly about military assets in general.
