Dim Recollection

I remember in a way-back...

Ukraine was petitioning to join NATO.

Russia wasn't happy about that, Poland had just joined...

In the talks something to the effect of, "you have to stop actively antagonizing the Russians, you know," was stated.

"Why would we stop doing that?" was the crux of their reply.

For me that was a headdesk moment and foretold what is happening today.

Ukraine and Russia were going to have this war eventually, and letting Ukraine into NATO or the EU would just drag everyone else in like WW1.

What's surprising is none of Europe, NATO or US aligned ourselves to send troops in the event of an invasion.

    That's surprising? After how we just cut and ran from Afghanistan? After we got butt-fucked in Iraq? Libya? Yemen? And Europe? NATO? Hah! Hell, I'm not surprised at all.
