It\s not a bluff. It's a red line Russia drew at the Bucharest Summit


in 2008 where the US declared Georgia and Ukraine would be added to NATO and EU to further isolate Russia. The world would be safer with Ukraine as a buffer to allow more time before a tragic escalation to all-out nuclear war between US and Russia. There are crazies in the US that boast the US can wipe out 100% of their population while sustaining "only" 20% population loss.

It's probably taken so long because both France and Germany were opposed to NATO expansion at the summit and other strategists were interested in enlisting Russia as an ally against China.
