    AG> Russia joined CSTO (full analog of NATO) without asking Ukraine.

    AG> Russia was trying to join NATO multiple times, how about that?

   If Chinnnnn-a wanted to join with Mexico I'm sure the US would have something   
   to say...After the Canadian election  the US will have Chinnnnnn-a on its   
   northern border,   
      
   NATO doesn't need Ukraine to exist and if it was that contentious just don't   
   have them as part of NATO.   
      
   I'm aware that Russia asked to be part of NATO... it was during the time that   
   Russia failed back in the 90's.  I argued that they should have let them in...   
      
   My reasons are simple.... Pay the 2% fee and if you want to be part of the   
   team you have to play by the rules... Get along with your neighbors play   
   nicely in the sand box.   
      
   BUT they didn't allow them in... Because the rest of the world needed a   
   boogeyman to scare their population into compliance.   
      
   And here we are today in 2025 where people are scoffing those who are trying   
   to broker a piece deal.   
      
    AG>    
    AG> We're the ones directly responsible for settling this, as we have   
    AG> promised by singing the memorandum in 1994.   
    AG>    
      
   Most people don't care anymore...  If that's a hill you want to die on, so be   
   it.  If a few more 100K people need to die for what you believe... I guess you   
   can have at it.   
      
   The US needs to focus on it's own right now.  It's citizens need to know that   
   their leaders care.  Thank God for Donald Trump because he's put America 1st   
   and he's trying to broker a Piece Deal when no others are trying.   
      
    AG>    
    AG> Trump is an idiot, his knowledge of the Geopolitics is ZERO.   
    AG>    
      
   He's smart... we're talking in numbers that no one has ever seen before... and   
   he'll more than likely get the deal and in doing so will save 100s of Billions   
   of dollars... million of lives and the Ukrainian people can start to rebuild   
   its lives.
