Controversial, but is it?

Nigel Farage once again caused a media riot in Britain and around the world by saying that the west (in particular, Nato) has provoked Vladimir Putin into attacking Ukraine. This because of overthrowing Yanukovich in 2014, and expanding Nato closer to the Russian borders since the 90’s.

It is a controversial position, but in reality there is not much very much you can bring in to counter him.

There was a deal with Russia since the 1991 that Nato would not closer to the borders with Russia.
Still Nato didn’t listen added more countries to their alliance. Which pissed Vladimir off completely.

And then there’s the political interference since 2014, which overthrew Yanukovic and installed Zelensky. Zelensky was a perfect sock puppet for the west and sets the door open for Ukraine to join Nato later on.

And that’s what Putin is fighting against. He feels choked by the Nato more and more everyday. And lots of Russians will acknowledge this.

So, in my opinion Nigel Farage is correct and of course Putin is a war loving freak. It is just not up to us to try to recrute Ukraine into the alliance.
If they reallywant to enter, it is their own choice, but the west shouldn’t bf promoting it. Putin doesn’t like that!

Sincerely,
