It is discussed, it doesn't stand up to any reasoning as to why they captured the Crimean peninsula. They also stated that it was because Ukraine couldn't stop the rise of Nazism. So which is it? NATO or Nazis?

Ukraine is an independent country and if they want to join NATO they can, having a legitimate grievance doesn't excuse an invasion.

And even if it was true and was accepted, what a disaster it was because it bolstered a floundering NATO, grew membership and increased military spending across the continent. Truly a genius move.

The context of the thread is that U.S. rejects peace talks. Nothing speaks of Ukraine's sovereignty more than a foreign country rejecting negotiations on its behalf. 🤡

Hitler's chief of staff was never prosecuted and later became NATO chief of staff. Many such cases.

Nazism wasn't defeated by the US, it was successfully internationalized by them.
