RE:RE:RE:RE:FreelandSorry for answering to something not Bombardier related but I couldn't resist... Ukraine wanted to join NATO for a long time, to be de facto protected from Russia, but Putin said that if NATO allowed that, he would consider this some sort of threat.. but then Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 (might be wrong about the year).
It's the chicken or the egg principle.
As for the money spent, i figured it's to protect what is, or was, the actual geopolitical balance... damned if you do, damned if you don't.

how much did canada commited to improve health care, etc for canadians?
Bigger question would be why didn't Ukraine join nato ? ... billions and billions going up in smoke and nobody is complaining? ... meanwhile Trudope is taxing us to save the planet ? ... nobody sees that our money is being used to destroy the planet , literally destroying it ??? ... my question is : will we stop paying when Russia destroys all of Ukraine ? Or will we have to pay to rebuild it ?? ... GLTA
