It's hard to make any sense about Ukraine until you understand what the problem is. In a nutshell, the real reason Biden is making noise about Russia being in Ukraine has to do with stopping the Nord-Stream II pipeline. This was something Obama and Hillary wanted to stop as well. NSII was built to bypass Ukraine and Poland, coming from Vyborg, Russia directly into northern Germany, and is set to deliver 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas every year to western Europe once it passes regulatory approval. If and when it does, it'll supply roughly 43% of Europe's natural gas energy needs. In order to move this process along, someone has apparently decided that Ukraine energy production needs to be crippled, to create the necessary conditions for fast track approval of NSII. We're talking about big fucking $$$ here. It's not an accident or coincidence that Putin's first real opening move yesterday was to hit a Ukraine pipeline.
This is a problem, because Bagman Biden and family, along with others like the Clintons, reap significant kickbacks from Ukrainian companies like Burisma, and this threatens their under-the-table income streams, because Ukraine, for all intents and purposes, bought mafia-style protection from The Vegetable, and now they are demanding he use his position to honor his end of the arrangement, otherwise, he stops getting paid, and people like Crackhead Hunter start getting clicked by pissed off Ukrainian energy interests. Committing US troops to the area amounts to that mafia-style protection of the existing energy infrastructure, and keeping existing 'arrangements' in place. If not for the energy profits, no one in D.C. would give two fucks about what Putin did in Ukraine. But, once again, we're going to put American service personnel in harm's way for this bullshit, using them like they were private security in the employ of the elites, just like Kuwait/Iraq. Here's some background:

This has absolutely nothing to fucking do with Ukraine joining NATO, or any other happy horseshit like that. Their government is too corrupt, even by our standards in DC. NSII goes live, tons of money goes into Putin's coffers. Joey Two-Scoops ain't having any bullshit cutting into his family's illicit profits. Once again, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FUCKING ENERGY, and who profits from the sale of it. Period. All the rest is a just a dog-and-pony show. Man, I miss the fucking cold war...
