What are you talking about? There were no concrete plans for Ukraine to enter NATO prior to the invasion in 2014.

See first paragraph. Russia has protested NATO eastward expansion and warned for decades.

So what? My point was that there were no concrete plans to expand to Ukraine when Putin took Crimea in 2014. If the problem is NATO expansion why invade a country where NATO is not expanding to?

The intent to annex Ukraine as a forward operating base for NATO dates back to the fucking 90s under Clinton. Do you need to see a todo list before you are satisfied? Thank god you’re not responsible for national security of a nation of millions.
