If NATO has been on russia’s border since before Putin was born, how could russia’s justification for invading Ukraine, annexing territory, and slaughtering thousands of civilians possibly be that they were nervous about NATO coming closer to their borders? It also doesn’t explain why earlier you said “And with Ukraine in NATO, there are no natural barriers between European powers and Russia.” How does that make any sense at all? There have been “no natural barriers between European powers and russia” for decades already. It has nothing to do with Ukraine. > Didn't the Ukrainians shoot it with either an anti-ship missile or a drone jetski? Interesting! That’s not what the russian government said. Surely you’re not suggesting the russian government would lie, are you?! > I really don't care who's right. But I do listen to both sides of the story. This is hard to believe given the strong bias you have shown towards Kremlin propaganda.
