The whole story is not being told as usual.
Russia feels threatened by NATO.It would almost be like if Canada or Mexico became communist.

Of course there are more reasons. Trillions of gallons of natural gas under the Ukraine.
Wars are almost always over money.
wars can always be justified by the despots that start them. Ukraine didnt do anything to them. we already have a communist country in canada

yes that's true but what about what is under the ground? plus Russia feels like they are being hemmed in by NATO.

when the Soviet Union broke up they lost about half their GDP plus all that territory, people , etc. They have about the same size economy as Spain now.

Their greatest asset is their energy holdings.
Putin wants to take back what he thinks is his or back to Russia's former glory.

Right now he is very dangerous. Like an animal that has been backed into a corner. I don't see how he can save face .If he backs off that will be seen as defeat.

He may be unhinged enough to resort to nuclear weapons.

I agree that he should be assassinated by his own people.
you sound like a Russian propagandist.

I read an interesting book a couple years ago call the Next Hundred years or something similar.

The author stated 2 reason why there would never be a foreign troop invasion on US soil.

1. The supply chain would be almost impossible to keep troops fed and armed.

2. too many damn guns in the american populus .

i have a nut case friend that lives in a liberal West Coa really dumb.st state that told me last night that the best strategy that the West had was to let Russia into NATO. LOL. That was tried in 1991 by Goby and is an even worse idea today than it has ever been. They aren't even wanted in the EU, much less the entity that was created to protect the world from...them (the nucleus of the USSR)!

Liberals are just
