Russia is a country with fluid borders and could not allow NATO troops and Rockets in Ukraine in the same way, as we could not accept rockets in Cuba.
The war has gone bad for the West now. The EU has very little equipment left. Russia loses more tanks in a month than many big EU countries have. Germany had ammunition for two days of war. After giving a lot to Ukraine, they have ammunition for one day of war left.

Graham's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv on May 26
“and the Russians are dying ...the best money we've ever spent.”
Before you downvote you may look up who Emmanuel Todd is. When he was a 25y old PhD student in 1976 he predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union. This is not a person to be taken lightly.
- kibwen 2y ago> Russia is a country with fluid borders Weird how that fluid always seems to spill outward, and never inward, innit?
- hollerith 2y agoThe borders underwent a large inward contraction in 1991.
- kibwen 2y agoThis is still conflating the USSR and Russia. The Russian SFSR, AFAICT, had exactly the same borders as Russia did before it started biting off pieces of its neighbors.
- hollerith 2y agoWell, sure, with enough motivated cognition, it is possible to fit the facts to your preferred narrative.
- Dylan16807 2y agoIn that case the borders never moved and you can't say they only spill outward.
- reisse 2y agoNo, you're wrong here. Russian SFSR initally included the whole Central Asia, Caucasus countries, Crimea and eastern parts of Ukrainian SSR. Russian SFSR border you talking about is from circa 1956.
- racional 2y agoExcept there were no NATO troops or rockets in Ukraine when Russia invaded. Nor were there plans to station any.
