Jayson Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Well, I'm American but I can understand Putin's position, though, I don't agree with his Mafia tactics over the years. Well, Russia needs a buffer zone. The French and the Germans took advantage of Russia's flat eastern territory to tear the nation to near ruin. In that case, Putin does not want Ukraine in NATO. However, though, what is independence if it's not "real independence"? Anyway, I just don't feel nuclear war is worth it over this situation.
