This is what the whole NATO Vs Russia push is about.
NATO IS PUSHING, the Ukraine border, and wants US controlled missile silos there.
Russia doesn't fancy having a NUCLEAR WEAPONS SITE on their border and does have a legal reason for claiming Ukraine still. ( People may not like it, but it's still there).
The problem is people are comparing it to other situations like Hong Kong/Beijing and still under the auspice of "my team good".
I've never seen diplomatic relations between the west and the east fall so rapidly since Biden came in.
It went from Trump having cordial meets to Biden stone walling.
Also Ukraine is "the east" (and is its second largest country, at least as far as Europe counts, in addition also the largest Europe-only country generally speaking). They do have an Orthodox church, a Cyrillic alphabet, all that.
The Americans literally pushed the buttons that destroyed Ukrainian missile silos over 20 years ago. LITERALLY pushed these buttons for the demolitions, posing for photos, smiling. After paying for that, purchasing them just so they could destroy them.
Just because the fucking Americans didn't "fancy having a NUCLEAR WEAPONS SITE" anywhere in the former Soviet Union except Russia. Motherfuckers.
"Give them American nuclear weapons".
