This is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. How do you know? The key is to stop viewing it as an American and start looking at it as a Russian. Russia views Ukraine as a dagger pushing deep into aRussia. Russia has been invaded before and wants to make sure it doesn’t happen again. What saved Russia from Napoleon and Hitler? Having the strategic depth making them expend a lot of energy and men just to reach the border of “Real Russia” Putin has 3 options. 1. Take all of Ukraine. 2. Take the regions bordering Russia for at least some strategic depth. 3. Work out a deal like Russia had with Finland. In 1939 they went to war. It cost Russia around a million men. The final deal was Finland can stay a free country as long as Finland goes along with Russia. If you look at history that’s what Finland did. They never thought of joining NATO, turned back from buying weaponry if Russia said no, and didn’t speak badly about Russia. If Putin can convince Ukraine to act like Finland did, that would be a win for him. But what would Putin gain by taking Ukraine and killing millions of people? Absolutely nothing except negatives.
