I’m not in the US
It has to do with the fact that my country exists because NATO protects it. Russia violates our airspace regularly.
Which country is that
Then “your country” shouldn’t exist. Its just a US vassal at that point anyway
As opposed to the Russian vassal it would’ve been if not?
Far better if the NATO backed coup that dissolved the USSR hadn’t happened
k man
All Russia has to do is stop being aggressive to its neighbors and NATO will automatically start falling apart. NATO support before Russia invaded Ukraine was decreasing.
Then why was it that when the Russian Federation asked to join NATO back in the 90’s they were refused?
What about when the Soviet Union asked to join back in like '48 was it denied?
Because it exists to be aggressive toward designated enemies of the US
Do you have a source for this? I can’t find any reference apart from a random interview given by Putin.
It was in '54. It’s hard to know why it was rejected since all those conversations are classified, but publically it was stated that Russia’s lack of democracy was the cause. I’m sure US hatred of communism had an influence.
Though I’m not sure that USSR had honest intentions of being a long term member instead of using it as opportunity to sabotage the treaty that would be negative for their interests in the works at the time.
You think?
Anyway. Merry Christmas Lib
America and 18 other countries invaded Russia in 1918 to restore the monarchy, kicking off a century of relentless aggression. They aren’t the ones who started this cycle and they’re not the ones with the power to stop it. We are.
There would probably be a manufactured excuse to keep it around. It seems like that’s already happening with the hyping up of a potential conflict with China.
