Here's some history lesson, greatly explained by Gravitas (Palki Sharma). Highly recommended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK-yJD_fAtk

Make Ukraine away from NATO and neutral, then WW3 will be a computer game.
Have you ever read the "proposals" for "security guaranties" that Lavrov had issued in December last year? Maybe you should. You can find them easily in the web.

This is not about Ukraine and it never head been. Putin wants to subjugate the whole of eastern Europa - including the Balkans and Scandinavia - up to the German border. Western Europe would then be in a relationship of vassalage towards Moscow.

Just one question: What the USA doing in Europe having their own internal problems? Just imaging: Russia came to USA boarder in Mexico or Canada and said: it's just for our mutual security! Will the USA be happy?
You should rather ask yourself the question what the US would have to do to the Mexicans and Canadians for that to ever really happen.

Do you even know your history? What Russians have been doing to others?

There are reasons why there is an east-west gradient in the attitude towards Russia in Europa. The closer you get to the Russian border the less people want to have to do with Russia.

Russians can't get a long column of equipment to Kiev? How do you expect they can travel any distance into unfriendly territory?

Putin is great? Kills so many brother Slavs in Ukraine to solve the "Ukrainian Question"...
Said to be an accidental premature publication now only found using the wayback-machine

Google translated:

Vladimir Putin has assumed, without a drop of exaggeration, a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia - for two key reasons. And the issue of national security, that is, the creation of anti-Russia from Ukraine and an outpost for the West to put pressure on us, is only the second most important among them.
