He only wants some of the assets
He wants the whole country, they marched on Kiev if you'll remember and nearly got there. Putin thought the campaign would be a couple of weeks. He was wrong.
he definitely doesn’t want NATO on his doorstep.
He probably doesn't, but his invasion of Ukraine literally pushed Finland and Sweden into joining Nato, so he's got Nato on his doorstep whether he likes it or not.
Yet where was all the song and dance about Nato on the border over Finland? Perhaps it's really got f**k all to do with Nato, and everything to do with Putin's expansionism.
One million casualties, billions of dollars wasted….because we didn’t listen.
Nah, that's Russian propaganda. Russia invaded, it started with the Crimean Peninsular a decade ago, and back then the west did f**k all. It took a full scale invasion to to say whoa, hang on a minute there.
Biden is a lame duck president, he shouldn’t be sending or releasing weapons to the ukkies.
What then, because Biden lost he should stop all US support and just concede Ukrainian territory to Putin by default?
Do you think the Ukrainians might deserve a say here?
