Have you listened to Gorbachev's speeches about Ukraine? He warned NATO to stay out of their backyard or hell would be unleashed. Gorby was never ok with a NATO force in Ukraine or defense systems in their backyard.
There is nothing in Putin's pathology that indicates he's a Stalin-wannabe. Most scholars that are credible and know his history and mind say that this "He's Hitler wanting to keep pushing on into Western Europe" philosophy is utterly NOT Putin's style. He wants a buffer zone and a strategic safety net for Russia. He's not going to permit Ukraine to be in the hands of the West. That may not be what we like to hear, but it's his idea.

Nor would it be happening if Gorbachev were still in power.
Putin has destroyed Gorbachev's entire life's work.
Because Little Vlad wants to be a real Russian man like Stalin. Back when men were men and empires were empires. And Russia's future course is whatever Vlad needs for his psyche and personal legacy regardless of what it does for or to the Russian people and other peoples.
