Neocons had to know inviting Ukraine to NATO might start a war. We know because we can see the (then) secret diplomatic cables relaying that message from our ambassador in Russia (and now coincidentally CIA director). We also know because the French and Germans explicitly disagreed for that very reason.Russia invaded Ukraine and had to know that it might start a war with greater Europe.
Yes. Yes. And yes.Did you object to Afghanistan? To Iraq? To Kuwait?
So it’s your belief that Ukraine does not have the right to join NATO without Russian approval?Neocons had to know inviting Ukraine to NATO might start a war. We know because we can see the (then) secret diplomatic cables relaying that message from our ambassador in Russia (and now coincidentally CIA director). We also know because the French and Germans explicitly disagreed for that very reason.
But the neocons pushed ahead anyway - what’s that tell you about what they want?
A bargain to spend money on something we didn't need? I guess we have differing views on the realities of Russia/Ukraine.Odds are good the Rs are getting a kickback from Russia. There is no logical reason for them to oppose aid otherwise. Supporting Ukraine is an absolute bargain for us. Nearly 400,000 Russian troops are dead, their tank forces have been decimated, and Putin looks weak. And we don't have to lift a finger. All we have to do is bankroll Ukraine to do the hard part.
Yet, Rs want this bargain gone. GOP has got to be working for Russia.
