Yes. And if you’re incapable of honest discussion, he’ll speak for you because he’s just that magnanimous.

He'd have to take Putin's cock out of his mouth first.

I could also say that if WWII never happened,
You could, and judging by your posts it would not surprise me.

WWII was not negotiating with Ukraine to join an alliance opposing Russia. NATO was!

There are three culpable parties in this fiasco, not two. Three ... NATO-Ukraine-Russia. Sans NATO, Crimea would still be Ukrainian.

NATO wasn't a threat
Neither was Japan in 1941. Neither was Germany to Russia in 1940. They were fast friends feasting on Poland. Allies even. Until they weren't.

But, but, but, but NATO is all defensive, right? If you don't attack NATO countries, NATO won't attack you, right? Tell it to Serbia.

Doing a lot of dancing lately I see

Do you believe that Putin really saw them as a threat or do you think maybe there was dishonesty mixed in?

It is a troll thread because you suggest that if i don't support Ukraine, then i must support Russia.

But this is a creation in your mind. Nowhere in OP is that suggested or required of any response.

The threat is obvious abd established in acknowledged study of geopolitics...

The "dishonesty mixed in" is your "The Jews did it" nonsense

I haven't done this.

I've shifted almost all of those discussions (or at least attempted to) into one about cost.

You can play the whole "I don't care" card and be wrong, especially of costs is your issue.

Are you really this obtuse?

I am referring to the millennia old doorstep that all educated in such things acknowledge about setting up camp on a countries doorstep when that country is hegemon.

250 miles from Moscow, Victoria Nuland and Baraq Obama...

the entirety of the rest of the details are secondary

Sorry. I don't want an opinion from someone who has been routinely wrong on every aspect of geopolitics for the past few generations.

Lebensraum was the outright goal of the Nazi Party, as it was the outright goal of Imperial Germany. Neither Stalin nor Hitler were naive about Molotov-Ribbentrop. Soviet military leaders told Stalin about the massive troop build-up in Romania on their border, but Stalin did not believe that Hitler would attack so soon after the pact, not that they wouldn't attack at all. This is a bad point.

Russia is not the hegemon in the region. Not only that, by that view, using the offensive realist perspective, the US and the West were right to isolate a nearly defeated foe, as after defeating the USSR the US was explicit about the fact that world was going to be unipolar. They pursued those ends, and whittled away at Russia's sphere of influence so that it barely exists in Europe now.

There is one hegemon in the world, and it's the US

Closest thing in that region is China, and even then, the EU is probably more appropriate

Russia ain't no hegemon
