The simple question is: What was Russia to do?

Abstract:

Excerpt:

My question which I’ve constantly been putting in correspondence is a very simple one: if you agree that for 20 years - more than 20 years, more than two decades - Russia has tried to engage in diplomacy; if you agree that the Russian demand to neutralize Ukraine - not occupy it, not determine its government, its form of economy, just neutralize it like Austria after World War II - if you agree that was a legitimate demand; if you agree that the West was expanding and expanding NATO; if you agree that Ukraine de facto had become a member of NATO, weapons pouring in, engaging in military exercises in NATO; and if you agree... You know, Russia lost 30 million people during World War II because of the Nazi invasion, so there's a legitimate concern by Russia with all of these - if you excuse my language - Nazis floating around in the Ukraine, then the simple question is: What was Russia to do?
