Please remind me how many times neighbouring countries have threatened Russia past decades? How many times it was the opposite way?
The truth is that in order to keep russians away from Ukraine, they had to join the NATO. Ukraine would have never been given a chance to be a buffer-like country like Finland just because Ukraine is seen as an integral part of a russian state.
It's not about keeping russian people safe. It's not about defassification or whatever stupid excuse these mongloids will come up with. It is just what it is - a show of force.
So many times you are pointing out a lack of education but if I'd like to correct your post about Poland and GDR being a buffer zone and provide you a context I'd have to write a book and do what your education system has not done past years so I'll pass.
I can see this conflict from both sides, which apparently many cannot.
This isn't a single sided conflict, both the West and the Russians have blame. However, after the fall of the USSR there was a massive opportunity to build a new security agreement that would respect both sides.
It never happened and in fact the West saw itself as winner of the cold war and Russia fell into chaos in the 1990s, economic and military collapse, crime skyrocketed. Putin stood up determined to fix it.
It's simply a missed opportunity and now we're dealing with the effects.
Perhaps you should watch this, I posted it before, it's a proper lecture by John Mearsheimer from Chicago University. This is 2015 btw
