Ukraine Thread

[Gilrandir]

But they were RECENTLY still stationed in both countries, you didn't say that they had to be recently shipped there.

You can as well give a list of countries where nukes are still stationed - it serves no explanation of RECENT escalation by Russia.

In fact it sounds like the US and other NATO countries RECENTLY forced Germany to keep the nukes.

I don't think Germany's position as a current leader of both the EU and NATO (in Europe) makes it susceptible for any outside pressure. Germany is an independent enough player to make decisions itself and force others to adopt unpopular decisions too.

It is apparently much more benign if someone is shown enmity for a half of century rather than just for the last few weeks.

So the task of all the world is to please Russia and see to it that it doesn't feel threatened, hurt and offended? What if others are not just offended and threatened but invaded by Russia?

1) That was in 2011
2) The fact that you didn't hear anything against it from Russia kinda proves that this whole thing isn't about free trade but political and military issues.

My bad. Coudn't find any uptodate English-language information on it, now I have a more recent one:

Evidently the free trade zone introduction was at a standstill, but now Ukraine and Turkey want to step it up. Still waiting for Russia to put in its spoke.
