They were already in place since 1945, as the Soviet 14th Army (became the Russian 14th Army).
Transdnestria seps still use the hammer and sickle symbol in their flag. Everything is at least as Soviet as in 1990. Can't wait to hear from the "far right" crowd over here about how based they are if the denaZification of Moldova campaign begins next.
Who are the tards downvoting an answer to a simple question?
I think it's not about ideology. I support Putin preventing NATO from coming into Ukraine in order to end Western hegemony, which I think is very destructive.
NATO was never coming to Ukraine. If you mean membership, not only NATO wasn't interested (besides some lobbying countries, chiefly Poland) but just the ongoing conflict with no end in sight over Donbas and Crimea would ensure it wouldn't happen in any case.
And not even after MH17 when their civilians were massacred did NATO do anything about it. I actually expected a peacemaking force at the time, or at least a massive support, but no. Nothing happened.

Why then not just agree to put that on paper and prevent the war, or at least force Putin to seek another excuse?
Instead, they have done everything to whip up Russian fears - particularly with the Bucharest Declaration. They're scum.
It was never about NATO and Putin's excuse was "Nazis".
