IT seems that the Russia-Ukraine border security problem has become the most dangerous ever between the Western alliance and Russia since the Cold War.
Russia has deployed 150,000 battle-ready troops at the eastern border of Ukraine.
The root of this is apparent. Russian strongman Vladimir Putin is facing some insecurities. In the Donald Trump era, they were close allies and were phone calls away from each other. America under Trump also disrobed its “Robocop” attire and had left the world on its own, security-wise. The US is currently holding military exercises in Belarus and is protecting the Baltic states by providing troops to Latvia, Estonia and Romania. Russia countered with war exercises over Belarus. On the other hand, the UK sent tanks to Poland and fighter jets and Navy warships to Southeastern Europe. The world shivers at the sight of both sides’ guns cocked, nervously waiting and hoping not for one to start pulling the trigger.
As early as 2004, then-US President George Bush had wanted Ukraine to become a NATO member. This would make it easier for Western forces to land forces there.
