      A while back they were seriously considering adding Ukraine to NATO. Insanity. They were trying to start a war. Still are.

      That's why Germany wants Nordstream 2. Economic engagement decreases the risk of war.

      I mean let's not ignore the material conditions of Russian resettlement in Ukraine. The history of Russian imperialism in the region unfortunately has a longer history than the length of the USSR. Russian chauvinists want their land, American chuavinists want in on the take. A rock and a hard place. Fuck the actual nazis in the Ukraine that the US supports, but if getting closer to the west means material protections from Russia can you blame the Ukrainians?

        As always with these sorts of questions: "yeah, but also no"
