I don’t think so, Ukraine is key strategic point for Russia. It’s provides access to only warm water port Russia has and it’s very close to Moscow.

Ukraine was getting armed to the teeth, and with good stuff from the West. Russia had to react before it’s too late.

Keep in mind Russia shares border with many successful democracies from ex-Soviet block, I can’t see how that can ever be an argument.

You know why they were getting armed, don't you?

Because that fellow in Kreml kept financing terrorists in Donbas so they could shoot down airliners and shell kindergarten, right?
