It's basically a game of chicken. Russia should have every right to have their troops right up on the border if they are on their own soil. Likewise, Ukraine can do whatever they want with troops on their soil- including allowing NATO forces be stationed there. Neither is a defacto declaration of war on the other.
I largely agree. It is an escalation, however, and some brinkmanship.
I can see a situation where agreements are reached but not made public whereby Russia promises not to invade Ukraine and the US promises not to admit Ukraine as a member in the near future. At least I hope that is the case.

I mean, the original agreement was that the U.S. and NATO would protect Ukraine in the event of a Russian invasions in exchange for Ukraine voluntarily giving up their nuclear weapons. We all saw how well their western allies held up their end of the deal when Russia stole Crimea. NATO is a paper tiger with zero political will to wage war. It's nothing but a money-laundering operation for Europe to take American tax dollars to fund their welfare states.
