Ukraine for NATO membership - New Cold War


Lets Get Real:

This move by the Parliament of Ukraine will drive Putin's Russia bonkers, the last thing they want is NATO breathing down on them from the Ukraine border.   The West should use this move to place further pressure on Putin, the Oval Office should offer a defence pact for Western Ukraine, leaving out the East, as it is a conflict theatre between Russia and the Kiev Government in the West.    The Russia bear should have its claws clipped for its own good, one can see Putin in the mold of Tsar Nicholas 11, Gorbachev, leaders who in the end failed.   Putin's use of gas power has caused a blowback, as the oil prices goes down, the more the Russian rouble is hit, thus Moscow has to bailout Russian banks with Western currency, can Russia afford it without help from the West, that is a open question, Western sanctions do not help Putin or Russia.
