    You would think after all the wars and bloddy conflict we have had over last 120 years, this either would have been sorted out by now or governments would be terrified of the cost in lives or money, one big peeing contest.

    Russia has had a huge win without needing to fire a shot. America has accepted Russia’s ‘ Red Lines’. Ukraine will not be joining NATO (which will do what America tells it to do) and has been instructed by the US to engage with the Minsk II Accords in order to resolve the Donbass issue.
    So it is,
    Russia 1. Neo Cons 0.

    I’m confused this article states that the US was a founding member of NATO but later says the US is not a member of NATO, which is it?

    Ukraine will not be allowed join NATO as it will put them at the doorstep of Russia. Unfortunate location they find themselves in.

    The weather in the next 4 weeks will be critical in determining an invasion – hopefully, it won’t freeze over and open a window for the perkies to attack
