Putin didn’t budge in Ukraine peace talks. Now Donald Trump may be forced to act
My crystal balls are seeing some Taurus missile strikes which Putin will probably not ignore but at the same time continue consolidating his territorial gains. Do your crystal balls predict NATO troops on the ground repelling the "Orks" from all of mother Ukraine ? -

So Long And Thanks For All The Fish - Ukraine bombs Russian Nuclear Bombers
And you think that any of that should have been viewed in Moscow as a threat to Russia's security and a justification for an invasion of a neighbouring sovereign nation? Ukraine was non-aligned for 4 years from 2010 up until Russia's annexation of Crimea. The coup was not CIA 'formented'. The Maiden uprising was a direct result of Yanukovych refusing to sign the EU - Ukraine Association Agreement, which had been passed by the Ukrainian parliament and had the support of > 80% of the Ukrainian electorate. Instead, negating the platform to forge closer ties with the EU on which he was elected, Yanukovych - under pressure from Moscow - did a complete volte face and unilaterally decided to align Ukraine with Russia Over and over what you outlined previously? Can you supply details please? And the vast majority of that is irrelevant and much is incorrect. Wrt Europe, Ukraine had long been looking to develop closer ties with the EU. A signing of the Association Agreement would have, no doubt, lead to a formal application to join the bloc if the annexation of Crimea had not occurred. The fact remains that Ukraine withdrew its' application for NATO membership in 2010, so the 'red line' which you use to justify Russia's actions not only hadn't been crossed but did not exist! The truth of the matter is that Putin is a greater Russia zealot: He does not believe in Ukraine's right to exist as an independent nation. Russia was also not prepared to allow Ukraine to align economically with the West i.e. the EU, as doing so would have further weakened an already fragile Russian economy. So that justified the invasion of Ukraine? Would that also provide a justification for invading the Baltic states or reclaiming the land which Stalin 'gifted' to Poland? Sadly, it appears that we have returned to the post-WW2 situation where Russia is led by an expansionist despot. -
