Politics between Russia and NATO.

As of October 2016, the country of Russia wants to take the Ukraine back in order to be part of the Russian Federation again. The Russian government has desires for The Ukraine to become a Russian colony. Not only that! Russia is against Ukraine joining the European Union which NATO desires.

The outcome for both Russia and the Ukraine could jeopardize NATO and European Union enlargement. Opposition groups opposed the NATO bid. Russia vehemently opposes the expansion of NATO in certain European countries that were once considered communist although Russian leaders strongly deny opposition in both countries. If NATO wins, sanctions in Russia for actions performed in the Ukraine will be lifted. NATO has had the European Union's best interest at heart since 2000. Since then, tensions between Russia and NATO have increased in an intensified manner. 

The real issues behind the politics between Russia and NATO are corruption, nepotism, opposition, economics, ecology, and financial mismanagement. Political corruption has plagued the country of Russia for many centuries. Political opposition to NATO is nothing new in Russia. Such political opposition leads to opposition groups being formed in Russia.
