Despite US bluster, America and NATO regimes are not about to send their troops into Ukraine to fight against Russia. The reason? Russia is a nuclear power and NATO forces would trigger a third world war. The lesson is clear: being a nuclear-armed state deters would be aggressors.
The US-led NATO kept pushing its eastward expansion until Russian President Vladimir Putin ran out of patience. He has shown that he will not tolerate NATO forces and weapons on his border in Ukraine and insists on making Ukraine a “neutral” country a la Finland. He seems to be nearing his objectives.
