No disagreements here, Putin is corrupt and guilty of war crimes. I wouldn’t defend Putin not after Chechnya, I am just stating the obvious, no country would like a hostile military alliance at its borders regardless of how criminally corrupt it may be or how good the military alliance may be.
If Ukraine wanted to join NATO it should have kept its nukes. Otherwise it had no option but to remain neutral.
