.After the break up of erstwhile Soviet Union, both GERMANY and France
saw futility of NATO,as there was no enemy to be confronted now.Russia had
very specifically demanded that NATO will not expand in the region.The
temporary assurances were dishonored as all the new states of Soviet Union
were covered by protective umbrella of NATO.Ukraine till now is not a
member of NATO though it has shown inclination and now requested for
membership.Russia has legitimate grievances to be surrounded by hostile ne
forces that can at some point destabilize its security concerns USA wanted
to create a new enemy for economic reasons and spur demand for sales of
war machines. HENCE it promoted Ukraine to further its designs
.The reasons adduced d by Russia are in the realm of Speculations.The
points of concerns and disagreement could have been discussed thread
bare.Instead unilaterally invading ,bombarding and massing material ,
troops to show its military superiority..
The means irrespective i
Of end no way justify the end,,.Russia has earned the ire of
International community with sanctions, boycot and bans further freezing
assets.These measures have not cowed down Russia in embarking on
destructive spree Sanctions affect the poor the most.The threat of nuclear
stand off has indicated the brinkmanship of Putin enlarging the conflict to
a dangerous levels.Ukraine is a sovereign country and free to decide its
own course and not dictated by Russia
Germany France are charting out independent course of action regarding
sanctions.China has made its intentions clear.UNO with its veto powers has
no powers to enforce its will with abstention.
USA is thus manufacturing acommon enemy to further its own ends
Russia with its mitary might has laid a dangerous precedent which
established orders of safe boundaries and undermining independence of
countries
