"I want to reiterate , I have said this before but I would really like you to hear me this time and convey this message to your readers, viewers and internet users. Do you realise that if Ukraine joins NATO and decides to take Crimea back through military means the european Countries will automatically get drawn into a military conflict with Russia? (

The hypothetical scenario you describe above is irrelevant because Ukraine is not even being considered for NATO membership. And if the day were to ever come where they were, NATO doesn't automatically support military conflicts involving NATO members, unless the member state is being invaded or under threat of attack by a hostile nation.

Fighting for land rights isn't part of NATO's charter.

"Ukraine" literally means "borderland" of course. One must always be wary of unleashing ethno-nationalist forces.

The hypothetical scenario you describe above .

Just for clarity I'm sure you realised that that was me directly quoting Putins comments during an interview, not my own thoughts. I actually think it was him trying to muddy the water even more than he already is by as you say implying a) Ukraine may be joining Nato and this ultimately Nato would then have to join some backwards stamped war to reclaim Crimea, as even if Ukraine were allowed to join that I doubt would be the case - which Putin well knows too of course. But hey never let the facts get in the way of a good / bad bit of PR and propaganda eh.

He already has. There's been no invasion and there won't be one.
