Honestly, I don't fully understand all the geopolitical consequences of Russia taking over Ukraine. But here's what I've heard:
  • NATO not only provoked Russia, but purposefully broke an agreement and crossed a red line even considering Ukraine joining NATO
  • Ukraine exports a large amount of the world's grain
  • Ukraine was going to come to agreement with Russia and end the war, but some NATO countries blew up that deal and the war continued.

So if Russia takes over Ukraine, then they will have a monopoly on the world's grain supply. But also, it will be NATO's fault.

So what did I miss?

The first one isn’t true. Ukraine was considered but there are a bunch of criteria would to be met. The dispute around Crimea and political corruption in its government. The political corruption issue is what got Zelensky elected in the first place which pissed off Putin cause the former president was pro-Russia.

The second is true. Plus they have access to the Black Sea that Russia wanted.

I’ve never heard that third one. Ukraine isn’t apart of NATO so it can’t tell Ukraine what to do about treaties.

“If we are not on a war with 1 front, we will be on a war with 2 fronts…at the same time” Rep.Sen.Mike Rounds a Trump’s close ally gave an emotional speech about war in /search?q=#Ukraine and dismiss peace talk with a tyrant that will not stop if given a part of free county

Reportedly, the moment of the ATACMS strike on an airfield in the Kursk region.
