LOL at all the LIBTARDS in this thread supporting communist Russia.
Let me guess. You probably believe that Putin is a “genius” too.
😆
Russia isn't communist anymore.
Putin said he didn't want NATO based in Ukraine since it will only take something like 17 seconds for a NATO-controlled nuke to hit Russia, as opposed to something like 57 seconds.
Something like that.
Those few seconds could be the difference between being annihilated in a nuclear war, versus saving themselves.
It's an existential threat, and is exactly the same reason why the Cuban Missile Crisis happened in the 1960's.
Also, Putin was very clear to NATO:
If you enter Ukraine, there will be war.
Then NATO entered Ukraine. And now there is war.
Why does surprise you?
Also, as soon as NATO uses nukes against Russia, there will be nuclear war.
In the meanwhile, Russia can win a war of attrition.
Ukraine cannot.
