DISCLAIMER: PUTIN BAD.

Copying my post from earlier itt responding to somebody who asked why Putin cares so much to invade and why NATO plays a part:

NATO is a military alliance that was formed in case that the West would possibly ever have to go to war with Russia during the cold war. Article 5 says that if one NATO member is attacked, it's regarded as an attack against all NATO members.

With the taking down of the Berlin wall, the US promised to Gorbachev would not move "one inch forward" to the East. A promise that has not been held as many other Eastern European countries have joined NATO.

The reason Ukrainian NATO membership is such a threat is that Ukraine is right at their borders. The black sea fleet in the Crimea was Russia's only fleet that was available year round, which is why they annexed the Crimea in 2014 after the US-backed coup in Ukraine, because they would lose access to that fleet which they see as crucial for their security.

In addition, Ukraine has also hinted at "liberating" (ie invading) the Crimea, if Ukraine does that as a NATO member, it's essentially the same as entirety of the West invading the Crimea, as Putin said here:

So that's why Putin is trying to prevent this, he's taking it very far and taking a by any means necessary approach to it.

what im saying is weapon shipments do nothing but make wars longer and more violent and lead to more casualties

thinking weapons shipments save lives is the stupidest, propaganda riddled conclusion you can reach

Again same as “ why 09/11” . You can’t summarize history in one article. Why he thinks Ukraine is worth this level of smoke ? He been in power 2 decades . I’ve been alive nearly 3 . Most of my life all he has known is power
