Wait, wasn't the whole deal with Ukraine's sovereignty being guaranteed by western nations down to the US and allies wanting Ukraine to give up it's nukes in the first place?
1) Maybe they don't go nukes and just go regular old burn a city down missiles. Not much difference if they're being set up on your border, which leads into point 2. America wants to be the ones doing the missile pointing.

Biden vows to shut down Nord Stream 2 if Russia invades: "I promise you we will be able to do it"
From CNN's Nikki Carvajal

President Biden vowed to stop the Nord Stream 2, an undersea pipeline set to deliver gas from Russia to Germany, if the Russians invade Ukraine.
“If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be – there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,” Biden said at a news conference Monday. “We will bring an end to it.”
The President, speaking alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the White House, was asked how the US could do that given the US does not control the project.
“I promise you we will be able to do it," Biden responded.

When I was deployed around 2016 I met a guy who had been in Ukraine doing training with allied forces. Somewhere around then Putin and others had accused the Ukrainians of being Nazis. Of course, that seems like a outlandish accusation. If you're in the West where jumping to Nazism is usually an exaggeration.

My friend told me that the guys he was training still had units that wore the swastika as their unit patch.

His thought was, " oh damn. I'm going to be back here killing these guys in 10 years".


Putin is a piece of shit and We should be tilting Ukraine and others towards free and open society. There's also a realpolitik reason to keep Ukraine in our hemisphere.
But I try not to forget just how much most of us aren't educated on the nuances of the history and internal battles in the region.
