The bear is dead. People chose their paths. Russia and Putin doesn't respect them. Its wild that we helped Russia with disarming Ukraine and they had to respect the borders. Did they respect them?
No because according to Russia Ukraine shouldn't exist even though well that's rewriting history since the Kievan Rus' was around from 880–1240, then we had the Cossack Hetmanate, lets not forget how Stalin then dealt with Ukrainians believing they should have their own state... he only caused a famine that killed millions and the USSR in the 1970s started another wave of "Russianifcation" of Ukraine. Oh and the USSR tried to cover up that whole ya know nuclear meltdown that screwed over the Ukrainian population.
Its no wonder the Ukrainians are not huge fans of the Russians. Yet Russia continues to try and force them to be under their thumb. Russian lawmakers publically denounce and openly hate on minorities in Russia which is funny given the "true Russians" are in a crazy population collapse.
Oh, if the bear was soooooo strong then why did they fail so fast? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how botched the invasion was I mean what made anyone think that would work. Now they have to go to Iran, North Korea, and kinda sorta China but China has pulled back for weapons and people because they cant beat a country with such a small population and a much smaller size.
The problem is nato enlargement for Ukraine and Georgia is a Russian redline. Wikileaks posted a copy of 2008 cable from American ambassador to Secretary of State and president bush

I mean I get that Russia wants to keep its sphere of influence but its influence you don't get to invade cause they didn't do what you wanted. The Kremlin has come out PISSED over how Moldova's pro-western government came into power and with Transnistria right there Moldova knows that once Ukraine falls they are the next target. Hence why Russia in a peace deal wants a clear road to Transnistria.
Also there have been something like 6 Russian/Iranian drones this week that have been found crashed on Moldovan soil.
My whole thing is that if Ukraine sees the US as a better place for growth and prosperity, the same with Georgia, then Russia either needs to do better itself to earn back the influence or just understand the US came with a better offer. Its like how the US has lost influence to countries to China. China was willing to give them a bunch of money (granted the terms make it extremely difficult for the countries to get out of the loans and they are structured as a trap) and the US wasn't.
