They decided in 2013, they were just biding their time. Putin has even admitted this in interview. Most NATO supplies came post invasion. They could have given Ukraine all the HIMARS, howitzers, ATGMs, SAMs etc. well in advance had they wished. In hindsight they wish they had. Most of the NATO was busy trading with Russia and becoming too reliant on Russian energy exports.oh yeah russia decided overnight that they need to fight ukraine. NATO mob had no hand in it? You mean to say nato ob was busy selling sugar packets & cigars on the sidewalks, while all the weapons in ukraine grew on trees as fruits.
Yanukovych simply screwed up and maybe Putin's secret meeting with him forced him to do that. You can't run an election campaign pledging to join the EU and then decide to join the EEU instead mid-term. That kind of crap won't fly in any democracy.West dint conduct a coup , back a stupid comedian to brinkmanship, no such thing happened? yeah a divine comedy indeed. Why doesnt the sugar daddies of ukraine call for negotiations instead want to continue the brutal war, bcos they are so concerned about ukranian lives?
How can you negotiate with Putin. Just watch this, all he does is lie. No agreement would mean anything and he has to lose for his annexations to stop, otherwise he'll continue.
when the saints have a past, is it hard to predict their future? World has no other work other than to invent facts about the innocent sweet kids who live in alternate happy universe picking daisies, it must be pretty hard on them.
This isn't even a response, it's just drivel.
Russia also thought they could easily drive tanks into Kyiv inside a week.NATO kept politely asking Russia not to do it and that there would be sanctions if they did. Russia decided to do it anyway, thinking that West was weak and decadent and would just do some limp-wristed sanctions.
