Whether the MAP passed or not is immaterial.

The fact that the process was begun multiple times proves my original point, that being that both sides before and during the war were considering expanding NATO into Ukraine.

You're pivoting.

This was the post to which you replied

Because Ukraine was never going to join NATO first of all.


The fact that they couldn't even get a MAP in 2008, despite being in better positions than countries that did get MAPs, shows it was unlikely.

Add in how Obama was against meddling in Ukraine further strengthens the point. That was strengthened AFTER Yanukovych caused Maidan, FWIW.

It took Russia invading in 2022 to make Ukraine joining NATO become a possibility.

Shithead, former Soviet satellite states have been talking about and aiming to join NATO and the EU for more than 3 decades now. Your central point in your last post was completely wrong by virtue of the link you posted. Jesus you are dim.

What if the people that have lived here for generations are culturally Russian in every way? Is self determination only valid when it benefits the American empire?

downsize the Ukrainian military, with limits both on personnel and weaponry;this is ludicrous



Basically Russia wants them to get rid of their military and not join any defense pacs. I’m sure Ukraine will trust Russia not to invade at a later date and take the whole country…….

Putin believes otherwise and his opinion is the one which matters most.

Estimates of dead and injured vary wildly but at the end of the day Russia has far more warm bodies they can throw in the meat grinder versus what Ukraine can. As long as Putin feels like the attrition rate is still creating positive enough gains, he's going to continue pursuing this.

Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are not under Russian control currently and those regions voted heavily in favor of Ukraine's independence referendum in 1991, upwards of 90 percent. I'm skeptical that those regions would vote to leave Ukraine in a situation where you could assure everything was above board, which also isn’t likely.

I'm about 90% sure that they voted for EU integration prior to 2014, too.

To the contrary, we maintain our sovereign claims over several states and territories despite various independence movements and the wishes of "cultural others."
