Russia would have thrown similar temper tantrum as Americans when Venezuela brought up joining Russian Security Alliance. IMO, best course of action for Ukraine and the World is for Ukraine to stay independent and Neutral.

I shudder to imagine what would the world look like if Russia loses and Ukraine joins NATO. North Korea will be proven right, only way to prevent US and NATO to bully, invade and destroy your country is to have a nuclear warhead on an ICBM pointed at a close US/NATO ally.

> North Korea will be proven right

About what? No one is trying to invade neither Russia nor north Korea.

If there is anything that was proven is that even if Ukraine would become a strong western ally, as is South Korea, still no one would attack Russia, just like no one is attacking North Korea.

If anything Russia should be extremely wary about following the exact same path as North Korea, turning into a secluded prison state. It's all just extremely sad, and a lose for us all.

Do you honestly think anyone wants to invade Russia? I have never seen any western politician, no matter how hawkish or anything, even slightly indicate something like that. Who would want that!?
