Why don't you add your usual claims to an appropriate thread. This thread is about a wikileaks document that proves Ukraine wanted to join NATO in 2008.

Well lets just look at this shall we?
I`ve tried to look at it from your perspective, but I can`t.
I`m just not capable of doing that, it seems there are few others who can, maybe you should post towards them about it...no need to address me with things which are beyond my ability to understand...I`m not that smart in case you haven`t noticed that.
It`s now clear to me why I didn`t understand a bunch of posts in this thread.
I was under the impression it was about a confidential memo from William J. Burns to the Joint Chiefs of Staff about Russia not wanting to face the decision about what to do in case of a destabilized Ukraine.

From day one it has shown nothing but signs of Western Influence and attempts at regime change in Russia and shoring up any of it's influences and capabilities abroad. Ukraine is one of Russia's biggest vulnerabilities with regard to National Security and Interests. Of course those working against Russia are going to use Ukraine against Russia. The NATO encroachments and Missile Defense Shield program are just small examples of what the West has been doing. Russia truly is fighting for it's own future and defending it's National Security and interests. And like any country on earth. Russia makes some very unpopular decisions and and choices domestically and abroad when these things are going on.

There was never any doubt, only ignorance. It doesn't matter how much proof there is that show the west deliberately started a coup in Ukraine and engaged in a campaign to smear Russia and Putin. There will be those that have made up their mind and refuse to hear anything that disagrees with them. America=good Russia=bad is nothing more than blind religion.
I can see the future. As I said in other threads also, the situation in Ukraine will not normalize.
The fighting will restart sooner than later.
I see Kiev getting sacked. I see hundreds of thousands of deaths in Kiev. Ukraine will pacify only after Kiev is sacked. Till then the fight in Ukraine will continue like this.
Russia is forced to fight a war that it does not want to fight. Keeping influence is one thing, fighting a war is another.
I predict that Russia will not give up on Ukraine. If it does so, Russia itself will be imperiled.

The info is not hidden; in fact, the cables clearly exonerate NATO, if you bother to read them.
Reading seems to be a lost art as of late.
Reading is the easy part, but understanding it is where some have the problem.

Poroshenko is selling his stake in his business empire. Although it seems it is due to some legal requirement after becoming President,
NATO for Ukraine is a lost cause now. What happened in 2008, before or later has no meaning now. Ukraine was valuable to NATO for a reason, and that reason is lost now.
