You be an idiot.The whole Ukranian argument is based around America's desire to have the Ukraine in NATO. France and Germany will not allow that to happen.
Russia has legitimate concerns about it's sovereignty in the area. The fact is that the Ukraine will never be a member of NATO even though it is permanently on the table at the behest of the US in an effort to provoke Putin. So as we can see this is an argument about nothing as it was never going to happen. It's like two bald men arguing over who owns a comb. The other point would have to be that the Ukraine is a food bowl with ample water and good soil and an even better environment for food production due to climate change, if I was Putin I would want that.
Also the ongoing axis formed between China and Russia is too much for the American palate and signals a significant shift in world affairs and who is boss of what.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has sought to justify the invasion of Ukraine with a number of reasons, but we're going to focus on one with a very deep stem. In essence, he argues that Ukraine has no right to exist, that it is historically Russian land and a fictional country created by Russian Bolsheviks. In a speech earlier this week, Putin claimed that Ukraine never had a tradition of genuine statehood. And last summer, Putin published an essay titled "On The Historical Unity Of Russians and Ukrainians," where he insisted that Ukraine and Russia's shared history makes them one nation.
If this is the case, it could be just a matter of time.
Fort Ross (Russian: Форт-Росс), originally Fortress Ross (pre-reformed Russian: Крѣпость Россъ, tr. Krepostʹ Ross), is a former Russian establishment on the west coast of North America in what is now Sonoma County, California. It was the hub of the southernmost Russian settlements in North America from 1812 to 1841. It has been the subject of archaeological investigation and is a California Historical Landmark, a National Historic Landmark, and on the National Register of Historic Places. It is part of California's Fort Ross State Historic Park.
I'm in favor of preemptive treaty discipline.
