Is not about Russia owning the neighboring countries. What she was saying is that Ukraine is a buffer country between NATO and Russia. Russia sees NATO as an enemy.
If Ukraine joins NATO, Russia would have their enemies at the border and that would force a conflict with Russia.
I do not like Tulsi but she is correct here. However, I have a gut feeling that Putin wanted this conflict and pushed for it from within Ukraine.
He encouraged Ukraine to join NATO to give him an excuse to move in.
I have the just the trick to improve your poll numbers, Joe. You know how everyone loves JFK and stuff? What if we could cause a second Cuban Missile Crisis!
Oops, I guess we pushed it too far. I guess now thousands of people will die for no reason. My bad! /paints his nails
NATO (Germany especially, holding great influence despite being such a paper tiger militarily) consistently refused Ukraine's access for decades and nothing ever changed in that matter.
If anything the ongoing conflict made it impossible for the last 8 years since 2014, and everyone knew it because it's in the rules.
NATO has been refusing Ukraine asking/begging to join for decades.
NATO (America) also had strategic-demilitarised Ukraine during 1994-2001 when all nuclear weapons, means of delivery, and installations were either transferred to Russia or destroyed.
"Listen Jack, if you're not fucking my wife, you ain't black!"
No I don't think it would have.
With our current incompetent administration there's nothing to stop Russia from moving in like they are now.
Maybe it'd have taken longer but that's it.
You can't put fresh meat in front of a starving bear and expect it to hold back when your only guard is a kitten.
That's just bs.
and stop acting like Russia owns its neighboring countries.

Supposedly Tulsi is a member as well.
If that makes her a pawn, then you idiots cheering on this war are every bit AS retarded.
