The EU and USA nato bloc have got themselves into a no way out situation against Russia, they have invested everything including millions of lives , they cannot admit Nato expansion into Ukraine was a mistake….they would rather have a full scale neuclar war with Russia, and bet on Russia not starting one , than negotiations based on Mink 1 and 2 .
The general population do not know the Russians will never allow Nato further encroachment into their close border …the Russian state will not give up its cultures…for western libertine conglomerate ” democracies “
Thus ….
n 1997, 50 prominent foreign policy experts, including former senators, military leaders, and diplomats, sent an open letter to then-President Bill Clinton outlining their opposition to NATO expansion. “It is a policy error of historic proportions,” they wrote.

Conservative political commentator Pat Buchanan wrote in his 1999 book ‘A Republic, Not an Empire’, “By moving NATO onto Russia’s front porch, we have scheduled a twenty-first-century confrontation.”

The current director of the CIA, William Burns, said in 2008 that for Russia, accession to NATO is the brightest of all red lines.”

“I have not yet found anyone who would consider Ukraine in NATO as something other than a direct challenge to Russia’s interests,” he said.

Russia may bet a local and smaller neuclar attack within EU will wise up everyone, and they may bet USA won’t respond.

For fear of wide scale destruction.
