When Russia annexed Ukraine nobody anything, including the US. Besides, of course, working with Ukraine behind the scenes to prepare for a potential similar event. And that oreparation worked, didn't it?
I like how HN ignores the historical context when it comes to Russia, gas and Europe. This history goes much further back than 2014...
>When Russia annexed Ukraine nobody anything, including the US.
The US began under Obama an intensive program to retrain the Ukrainian armed forces away from the Soviet-era tactics that had failed miserably against Russia in the east, and provide equipment. Trump and Biden continued this.
Without this, Russia's gambit of seizing Kiev and defeating Ukraine in 72 hours in the February war might have succeeded.
