Ritter explains the facts on Russia's purpose of being a threat to Kiev and the reason why they didn't lay siege to Kiev. I learned something from him on that question.Exactly
?? Because Russian tanks and aircraft? Duh.
Russia is the country who controls the ceasefire, nimrod. They can stop firing any time they like.
Short of nuclear arms, what bigger bomb hasn't Russia used?
That was the strategy for decades under the USSR.........Yes we should have armed the hell out of Ukraine.......even in limited arming..........They are fucking some Russian up there.
They forced nothing. Russian was free to not invade at every moment. What oil did Ukraine steal? What "illegal" NATO weapons did they "accumulate?" What treaty did they violate?Wrong.
By stealing oil, trying to join NATO, violating treaties, and accumulating illegal NATO weapons, Kyiv forced the invasion and is preventing a ceasefire.
When the Ukraine violated their 1992 pledge to never join NATO, and starts accumulating NATO weapons, that is a declaration of war.

The western powers pledged to protect Ukraine if it gave up its nuclear weapons. The west reneged on that promise.
You're delusional.
Horseshit -what treaties disallow Ukraine from having conventional weapons??? wtf are you talking about?Wrong.
It the Ukraine violating treaties and illegally getting missiles that CAUSED the invasion to become necessary.
Idiot, Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and you are talking about someone violating a treaty? Just wow.Yes Russia was obligated to invade once the Ukraine violated the 1992 treaty that Gorbachev used to give them their independence.
It specifically prohibited trying to join NATO.

So with that treaty now null and void, the Ukraine reverts back to a Soviet possession.
They were within the boundaries of Ukraine. They could have done whatever they liked with them.The Ukraine never had any nuclear weapons.
They were Soviet weapons under Russian control, that did not belong to the Ukraine and the Ukraine could never have been able to use.
How was that an act of war? If the pipeline is running through Ukraine, then it can legally take whatever it likes, Who gave this "Stockholm court of arbitration" authorization to make any rulings on the subject?The oil the Ukraine stole was from the Russian pipelines running through the Ukraine, to Europe.
Here is an example of proof of Ukraine theft.
{...Russia–Ukraine gas disputes - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
On 8 June 2010, a Stockholm court of arbitration ruled Naftohaz of Ukraine must return 12.1 billion cubic metres (430 billion cubic feet) of gas to RosUkrEnergo, a Swiss-based company in which Gazprom controls a 50% stake. Russia accused Ukrainian side of diverting gas from pipelines passing through Ukraine in 2009.[11][12] Several high-ranking Ukrainian officials stated the return "would not be quick".[13]

The Ukraine committed half a dozens acts of war, so Russian then had no choice.
Horseshit -what treaties disallow Ukraine from having conventional weapons??? wtf are you talking about?
Russia agreed to respect Ukraine's territory in nuclear disarment treaty and CLEARLY broke it by annexing Crimea and now invading.
Joining NATO is a crime? Since when?Wrong.
Russia agreed to leave the Ukraine alone as long as they did not commit crimes like stealing oil, violating treaties, trying to join NATO, etc.
Since the Ukraine violate the treaty of 1992 with half a dozen criminal acts, then the Ukraine government has to be punished and a new one started.
The Crimea and Donetsk were always ethnic Russian so is part of Russia based on the principle of local autonomy.
Gorbachev "used" it to give them their indepence? He didn' thave to use anything. He could simply have given them their independence.
They were within the boundaries of Ukraine. They could have done whatever they liked with them.

Are you seriously trying to justify Russian invasion and land grab...by Ukraine supposedly owning them a few rubles? Who do you think you are going to convince with that silly bullshit?Wrong.

Joining NATO is a crime? Since when?
What ""criminal act."
The U.S. signed hundreds of treaties with the Indians and violated every one of them. Does that mean NATO should make war on the US?

Wrong.Wrong.
It the Ukraine violating treaties and illegally getting missiles that CAUSED the invasion to become necessary.
Crimea was soveregn Ukrainian territory.There is no "land grab".
What does that have to do with anything?Wrong.
The Ukraine is a sovereign nation.
Crimea was soveregn Ukrainian territory.
Russian millitary takes it over and declares it Russian territory.
Rugby5 says? There is no "land grab".
You sound like a total fucking clown - how do you not realize that?
How are we evil when it is RUSSIA INVADING....................The USSR WERE NOT NICE..............We are giving them weapons to defend themselves..........As long as they want to fight we should give them the means to do so........Wrong.
Taking over the Ukraine and arming them with NATO weapons is an illegal treaty violation similar to the USSR putting nukes in Cuba.
We are abusing the Ukrainians as pawns to be destroyed.
We are evil.
