U.S. Must Tell Ukraine No to Joining NATO

[birdwatcher]

Doug Bandow @ cato.org -- Some Ukrainians may imagine that NATO would protect them from Vladimir Putin. But if the consequence was a full-blown war, as is likely, it would be a disaster for Ukraine. [...] The most dangerous alliance illusion is that if NATO would just demonstrate “resolve” the Russian invaders would turn tail and race back to Moscow. [...] Better for all to seek a negotiated settlement. Kiev decentralizing power, separatists accepting its formal authority, Ukraine acquiescing to Crimea’s separation, Russia holding an internationally monitored referendum, Kiev forbearing military ties to NATO and the U.S., the allies dropping sanctions, Moscow accepting a united Ukraine looking both east and west economically.

ППКС кроме международных наблюдателей на референдуме. Совершенно излишни, только обнаружат массовые фальсификации и вернемся к исходной точке.

Нет, на армию у нас государство тратит деньги. Называется "военные расходы".
