Thanks. I was a little surprised by your previous post, which seemed to be asserting reasons to view Ukraine as having become a 'puppet' of the US. This is a key point in Russia's view that Ukraine had become a dangerous threat to them.
On edit: make that Russia's 'professed' view that Ukraine is a threat to them. I don't think they actually believe it, and the actually reason they invaded Ukraine was to seize it, because Great Russia *should* own the Ukraine. For now, they are only getting to seize part of it, it seems.
