    Ukraine needs a guaranteed security measure to prevent Russia from attacking again. It’s a stop gap to a more permanent solution. Either NATO membership or Nukes.

      They had a security guarantee and it stood for 20 years. Then the USA finally made good on Clinton’s duplicitous plan to make Ukraine a NATO country and the security guarantee evaporated. Russia has been so consistent on this point for 30 years it’s amazing that the propaganda engine has made it impossible to talk about it in the US.

      Perhaps Russia wouldn’t attack if it wasn’t provoked.

        So what you’re saying is, there is nothing wrong with attacking Russia as they consistently provoke other nations? Or is it simply that only Russia is allowed to invade and its the fault of the victim once they do?
