What's the difference for non proliferation treaty?

> Lets talk numbers, rather then just sling cheap unfounded allegations

> Ukraine was a army of maybe 900k uniformed troops

you have provided only 1 number and it was not about EU.

EU has enough logistical capacity, but Russian nationalists like to dismiss EU like some kind of temporary group while they are riding donkeys to battle.

Russians would like to have Ukraine in their sphere of influence, but after bungled invasion in 2022 and subsequent grinding war, Ukrainians will go out of their way to be outside of this Russian world. I think we are talking about decades before normalization of relationship between Ukraine and Russia.

And NATO is expanding because Russia keeps attacking its neighbors. It is not like it expands on its own, countries are literally begging to be let in.
