Ukraine is a sovereign nation they are free to join any alliance they want.
If Russia cannot handle its neighbours making decisions as a sovereign nation, then thats there problem.
- pydry 4y agoThey are sovereign. Just as a kid in South Central is a free individual who can join any street gang they want for protection. This too is sometimes a death sentence, as the gang they try to join for protection uses them as cannon fodder. It's possible Russia would have accepted their membership if NATO hadnt underscored its status as an offensive alliance with the destruction of Libya in 2011. Sadly this confirmed the reality to every Russian that NATO is an imperial threat.
