As someone who have followed the complexities and intrigues of global political games. I think I need actually just explain so many reasons why this current aggression by russia is more of protecting their national integrity and super power status.

As much as I won't want to be perceived as a war advocate or war monger in this faux World War III but I think we shouldn't only base our judgement from what we're been fed by the western wing propaganda alone(CNN, BBC Daily mail et all).

The truth is a big Country like Russia will always be paranoid about having the western allies military stations close to her borders, that's like having your enemy point a gun to your skull.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the western wing have always sort out any means possible to reduce the military and economic power of the Russian. This way they can stand tall and bully any smaller country as they so wish, but Russia won't be having any of that.

Like I said before, the reason for this recent aggression from Russia is to stop Ukraine from joining the NATO allied organization which is an organization created by the western allied forces to checkmate Russia during the heat of the cold war era.

We can all remember how the United States resisted any form of Cuba and Russia alliance that let to the Cuban economic misfortunes till date, why did the united states fought so aggressively to stop any Cuban Russian alliance? Simple answer, it's against their military and economic integrity to have a subtle enemy close to your borders. This is the same game playing out here in reverse.

I'm not in support of Russia but I think Putin has seen the Trojan Horse that the west is trying to play which is why in his own national integrity and patriotism is resisting any form of Ukraine - Nato alliance.

Halting the Ukraine admission into the NATO fold will certainly douse the tension cause if this situation is not managed well, then I see too many unnecessary destruction of lives and properties ahead and guess what?, THERE WILL BE NO WINNERS.

Still not enough reasons to invade.....UKR

Are they scared of the outcome or what exactly? I'm talking about Russia. This still isn't enough reason to wipe out a country,he's just looking for who to flex power, strength, ammunitions and missiles with.

Yes still not enough reasons.
As long as I am consigned, Russian has being surrounded long ago.
Truth is there is something special about Ukraine.
Is it her land mass?
I don't know but Ukraine is special to Putin.
If this was about NATO memebeshio, the likes of Poland, Lithuania,... All the nato neighbors of Russia would have being long invaded.

Your topic would have held ground "if" Russia is planning to invade already nato members.

Sir, Russian invasion of Ukraine is more about his ambitions than any fear of missiles. Putin wants to reclaim Ukraine. Putin's dream of re-creating the old USSR is as obvious as day and night. Missiles or no missiles, he would have still done this. The only reason he moved against Ukraine joining NATO is because he didn't want them to have any help when he strikes. And he's moving fast now cause it will be more difficult if Ukraine becomes a full member of NATO. Have you heard Putin mention missiles in his recent comments? He said it's peacekeeping and yet he's taking over the country's armory. If it were about missiles, would the ever bold Putin need to come up some cheap lies to go in? There's no justification for what Putin is doing. The only reason people support him on here is their hatred for the US.
