RE: Ukrainian-Russian political reach plus land and border disputes. Ukraine had no experience running the federal part of government upon breakup of the Soviet Union. All they did was follow orders regarding matters federal prior to that. Many probably didn’t welcome the break up.
They had little experience at a federal level with the rest of the world, and made a mess for sure across the board that was provoked by the USA and NATO. Who wouldn’t make a mess, when suddenly given a country to run, rather than just a state? They needed experienced diplomacy rather than an iron fist that the USA and NATO both displayed in their failed, lackluster attempt to ease tensions.
Russia and Ukraine both bombed the planet with a vengeance that was more like a family feud, than two countries resolving a long overdue border dispute. You see, the USA thinks if they ignore a problem long enough the problem will resolve itself in their favor. Then when it started to resolve itself, it wasn’t going the way of NATO’S plan and the USA went berserk. All this over a slice of land that Russia, the Big Fed, can more responsibly handle, for the security of all former Republics than Ukraine – no matter who’s president.
When any president goes on television and complains that they need more money from a major donor, after being given 100 billion dollars plus a blank check, the world sees more clearly the corruption than do the parties – including the USA and NATO who made themselves relevant in this dispute, legally or not it doesn’t seem to matter. As I said before, those sophisticated weapons are being tested on humans, animals, wildlife and human-made structures.
NATO and the USA failed to stop a war – purposely.
