That's a dumb, ignorant fantasy.The real question would be was Ukraine a threat to Russia before the Obama administration used the CIA to install pro Western anti-russian personnel within its ranks. That is exactly what happened and there began a slow military and weapons build up there that was in fact intended to threaten Russia. So Russia's prerogative now is to have those people and those Western weapons removed. If that happened in some place like Mexico or Cuba we would be doing something very similar.
Weapons build up in Ukraine was not the CAUSE of the Russian invasion, it is the RESULT of it.
Before the war the only advanced weapons supplied were Javelins - a DEFENSIVE anti-tank weapon that posed zero threat to Russian borders protected by nuclear arms.
There were 4 NATO countries on Russian borders and 2 more joined as a result of this invasion. One them is well militarized Finland, that is 100 miles from St.Petersberg and about same distance to Moscow.
There is no sane explanation for invasion in terms of military pre-emption.
Ukranian threat to Russian regime was primarily as a westernized brother-country that rejected the "Russian world" and where people live better off as a result.
