MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia would keep military forces near the country’s border with Ukraine for as long as it saw fit and that they posed no external threat.

Ukraine on Tuesday called on NATO to lay out a path for it to join the Western military alliance, drawing an immediate rebuke from Moscow, after days in which Russia has massed troops near the conflict-hit Donbass region.

Personal note: Russia - China - North Korea - are all in place within their borders already we would have to come in from the sea and work our way up to counter any insurgence they have made - if we go in. I don't think we have any of our troops on the borders at this time so the residents will have to stall the attacker's while we maneuver inland to the border areas. Meanwhile the invaders would be coming at us from inland towards the sea.
