I am a patriotic U.S citizen. I am not supporting or condoning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but what Russia is asking from Ukraine is entirely reasonable and fair. Russia has every right to demand that Ukraine not join NATO. If Ukraine became a member of NATO, the U.S. and NATO countries would place missiles throughout Ukraine pointing towards Russia. Ukraine is as big as the state of Texas so there is a lot of land that NATO can use for deploying missiles aimed at Russia. Those who argue that NATO is strictly defensive don’t have a leg to stand on. NATO was used offensively against Libya in over-throwing Muammar Gaddafi. And something defensive can quickly be turned offensive. If Ukraine became part of NATO the anti-Russian elements in Ukraine, and there are many of them, may easily be emboldened to harass Russia with no fear because they’re protected by NATO. Russians in Ukraine are looked down upon and considered as second-class citizens. Russians in Ukraine are not allowed to vote in Ukrainian presidential elections. Is it worth it for the U.S. going to war with Russia over Ukraine? Is it worth it being bombed by Russian nuclear missiles for Ukraine? Russia has supersonic missiles which are so fast that we don’t have missiles that can intercept them. Is it worth it for the U.S. and Russia to go to nuclear war with each other over Ukraine? You think that the price of milk, meat, and gas are high? Imagine entire cities, states, farmlands in the U.S. being destroyed.
