And what, pray tell does the west gain from losing Ukraine to Russia, which is what will happen if Ukraine and Russia go to war?
It's all geopolitics. So far as I'm concerned, it's two assholes trying to murder each other.
But regardless, I doubt the Russians will actually go to war. When Russia goes to war, it doesn't announce it to the world, it moves quickly and quietly. If Russia was serious, they would have done it by now.
Lose Ukraine to Russia? Ukraine was always the cradle of Russian civilization! It was never a part of the traditional West whose political boundaries ended at Czech Republic at best. anything beyond CR is nothing but expansionism and cornering of Russian interests.
NATO says that it cannot refuse countries from joining their grouping; does that mean that it would allow any country tomorrow to join NATO? What about Morocco? Algeria? Ghana? They are all somehow connected to the Atlantic or close to the traditional west. If they can have Slovenia, then why not Morocco?
Crimea? Is gone. Maybe its status will never be recognized, but it is already physically attached to Russia, so who cares? Territories of existing separatist, russian proxies? Probably these areas will gone too.
USA president says don't try walk to Odessa and Kiev. Thats all.
If there is even a hint of confirmation of Kiev joining NATO, Russia will invade for real. I doubt that the Americans would have sat quietly if Mexico had joined the Warsaw Pact. Biden is just pushing another Eastern European country into abyss to create needless hostilities in the region.
Saakashvili was a fool in having forced Georgians to fight his war against Russia in 2008. The same chicken piece was dangled in front of them. After that we all know what happened.
