Comment Comment by astaroth360 @ Crimea, it doesn't really matter that there was a coup, Russia still outright stole a chunk of another country.@ US nukes, this is nothing new right? I don't see how that should matter to them too much.@ missile defense shield, I kind of agree with that bit, although I find the idea that either side would ever use nukes ridiculous@ NATO paranoia, I'd say Crimea and Russian ambitions to re-establish a more USSR-looking country make those fears well founded.@ pipeline... that's just economics. Having your own pipeline and not having to rely on a somewhat hostile power is always going to be preferable. parent astaroth360 9 years ago
