Just in case anyone is still wondering why this war began in the first place.  Here is one of the reasons.  It doesn’t mean that Russia was right to invade.  But denying some of the reasons why it happened is denying truth. 

Russia’s got a point: The U.S. broke a NATO promise

1. That article is behind a paywall.

2. Ukraine and Russia signed off on a agreement in 1996, in which Ukraine would give all nuclear weapons they had, in exchage for the Russia promise that they would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and not invade.  They lied.

3. That is NATO, not Ukraine.  Why should Ukraine suffer for some internal dispute between Russia and NATO.


No offence, but you sound like you do not have the best interests of North America in mind.
