Because NATO does NOT want Russia and Ukraine to have a good relationship - plus the DS likes Ukraine's farmland - the richest farmland in the world. Prior to 2014 most of Ukraine's farmland was owned by independent farmer operators. After the DS ousted Yanukovich, farmers were forced to sell their land and are now farmer tenants - not farmer/owners.
How would the US like Russian troops camped out in say Canada or Mexico. Russia , like any country , has a right to act in it's best interest.
Agree - I remember Putin speaking in a conference when Obama was in office. He was talking about how Obama made an agreement with Russia, re: missiles, but then set up missiles around the perimeter of Ukraine aimed directly at Russia. Putin said something to the effect of "we don't know what is in those missiles aimed at us." He was right. It's interesting - look for any Putin stuff during the BHO days, and it's the same scenario being played out all over again. "muh Russia." Putin has endured the same kind of nonsense they throw at Trump.
China is loving it
