Kerch Strait Conflict

oh, forgot to mention..........the weakening of NATO is 2d only to undermining American democracy on Putin's to-do list

hell of a coincidence eh annasshole?
 
why don't you start by explaining that gem in non-wacko terms

fuck off liar
Not my problem if you are stupid and don't understand NATO expansion,or geopolitical spheres of interests.
I'd explain it to you further but you are too ignorant to bother with
 
break it down. the separatists have been agitating for a time, but I'm sure there were contingency plans for when the actual war started.

There has never been a strong faction of separatists in eastern Ukraine, they would have been long finished without direct intervention of the russian military.

I'm not sure what treaty is referred to here: but obviously any war on the Russian speaking separatist would be seen by Putin as a war on Russians
which is pretty much the official position at least at the beginning of the Donbass war.
One of their first "defence" ministers and self-proclaimed instigator of the uproar Girkin is a former FSB operative, that says pretty much all.

I AM struck at just how shitty the European players were in that meeting!

It's the same arrogance that gave us NATO expansion, and the meddling and treating the border state of Uk as European purview.
Ukraine has historic and territorial ties to Russia -not "Europe"

The actual worth of these "ties" can be seen when having a look at Belarus and Kazakhstan, Ukraine had good reasons to prefer economic ties with the EU over Putin's ECU. Ironically, his approach to re-establish old Soviet might has only made NATO more popular than ever.
 
"where is NATO being "weakened"?" a #126
The NATO membership guideline is each NATO member nation is supposed to spend ~2%GDP on military.
I gather many if not most NATO member nations do not.

Trump is right to try to hold NATO member nation's feet to the $fire about that.

But it seems what Trump has done instead is to fuel the sentiment for a separate Western European alliance that would exclude the U.S. from its protection.

Do you need to be reminded that Donald Trump declared NATO obsolete?
Shortly thereafter Trump recanted, saying NATO is no longer obsolete.

Trump is out of touch.
