Re: An imperfect solution for an imperfect world
the last thing Putin needs is to invade Ukraine
ROTFL! He _already_ has invaded Ukraine. Crimea was seized by Russia, and Russian troops are fighting in eastern Ukraine.
Since Putin became the new Vodj, he invaded Chechnya, Georgia (Abkhazia and South Ossetia), Ukraine (Crimea and Eastern Ukraine), maintained military occupation of Moldova (Transnistria).
His goal is clearly to rebuild a Russian Empire on the lands which were parts of former USSR. One would be fool to trust Russia, moreover if one's country has a common border with Russia.
