^fender is a "progressive" clown and a complete and utter NATO shill. His only counter arguments are "Pootin bad" and "those countries wanted NATO membership".
He completely ignores historic facts like East vs West tensions and mistrust (cold war), USSR breakup plus consequent NATO expansion East and the difficult geo-political relations because of all of that.
He also ignores the fact that the West has deliberately tried to reel in those countries offering them economic benefits / investments / protection and that Russia has complained about it for over a decade citing it's security concerns.
He also ignores the fact that Ukraine has always had close relations with Russia and was part of the Russian empire for a very long time and that Crimea was part of Russia since 1783 before it was gifted to Ukraine in 1954 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Ukraine's union with Russia.
Fender seems to believe that the "progressive" West are the good guys, thereby ignoring all death and destruction brought down upon many countries victims that do not fall in line with the dogshit "progressive" Western policies.
Lastly, I wouldn't worry at all about his trash posts, just slam him with facts he cannot refute and laugh about his mad rants.
Oh did Russia expand into Kaliningrad recently just like NATO keeps expanding?
I missed the headlines ^_^
Do you know that Ukraine gave up 2000 nukes in exchange of protection from the US, UK, and Russia in a 1994 agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum ?

The 1975 Helsinki Final Act, in which the USSR promised not to violate the "territorial integrity" of other signees, including through the use of force. Russia and Ukraine were both created as a result of the USSR's breakup.
The 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom agreed "to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine."
The Minsk Agreements, which are a pair of ceasefire agreements signed by Russia and Ukraine relating to the conflict between those countries that began in 2014
