Uh yeah because that's what NATO does. It's not a defensive alliance and it never was, just look at what happened to Yugoslavia and Libya. NATO is a clear and present danger to every country that opposes the west and if they expanded to Ukraine, they would be able to install military bases right next door to Russia's capital. And they would undoubtedly use them.

Also, Ukraine was coup'd in 2014 by the US so it's very debatable how much of the people's will is represented by the decisions of their government. Especially considering Ukraine has since been in a civil war between those who refuse to recognize the puppet government and those who support it.

And if we're talking about respecting sovereignty, then Ukraine should have followed the Minsk protocols. To Russia's credit, they tried resolving this conflict diplomatically for 8 years. If Russia was half as war-loving as the US, they wouldn't have negotiated their problems at all & would've sent their troops in years ago.

And what does Zelensky being Jewish have to do with anything? You realize Israel exists, right? Do you also believe that the USA ended anti-black racism because Obama was president too?
