Ukraine decided NOT to be neutral and asked to Join NATOGiven what the USA/NATO did/doing to Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Venezuela, North Korea....etc etc etc.....
I don't agree with Russia invading Ukraine, but I understand why.
If you choose to join USA/NATO who has ALWAYS shown aggression towards Russia and over the years has demonstrated that it will attack any country......
That indicated you don't want to try to be neutral, you don't want to try to be friends.
USA no way would allow RUSSIA to set up shop in Cuba and point missles at the USA.
Russia no way would allow USA/NATO to set up shop in Ukraine.
Everyone should have known this.
All just my opinion/view/thinking
