That’s obviously not what Putin sees.

Made this post earlier itt about why
Ukrainian NATO membership is a threat for Russia, what are your thoughts:
NATO is a military alliance that was formed in case that the West would possibly ever have to go to war with Russia during the cold war. Article 5 says that if one NATO member is attacked, it's regarded as an attack against all NATO members.
With the taking down of the Berlin wall, the US promised to Gorbachev would not move "one inch forward" to the East. A promise that has not been held as many other Eastern European countries have joined NATO.
The reason Ukrainian NATO membership is such a threat is that Ukraine is right at their borders. The black sea fleet in the Crimea was Russia's only fleet that was available year round, which is why they annexed the Crimea in 2014 after the US-backed coup in Ukraine, because they would lose access to that fleet which they see as crucial for their security.
In addition, Ukraine has also hinted at "liberating" (ie invading) the Crimea, if Ukraine does that as a NATO member, it's essentially the same as entirety of the West invading the Crimea, as Putin said here:
!https://youtu.be/RJXwLzII278So that's why Putin is trying to prevent this, he's taking it very far and taking a by any means necessary approach to it.
this is what Putin says, but it does not reflect reality.
again, NATO members have no obligation to help other NATO members invade Russia. Nobody else has anything to gain by helping Ukraine invade Crimea
also NATO is an alliance that countries CHOOSE to join DEMOCRATICALLY
yes elections can be influenced, but the point is that it's not an invasion its an alliance, a primarily defensive one at that. The risk of NATO as a whole invading Russia is really really really low and Putin knows this.
He's gonna tell u that Ukraine deciding to join an alliance to protect their sovereignty is a threat to Russia as he f***ing invades Ukraine and threatens their sovereignty lmao
Capping for Trump who called this move "genius" by Putin, come on man, wanting an obvious Russian agent to still be president is fine right
Trump said America should do the same with Mexico
