    Yeah cause Russia is a real danger to the world with their 50-year-old equipment, ooohhh so scaaryyy. Ukraine entering NATO was the reason Putin needed to justify his aggression, that’s the reality. USA should stop trying to be world hero, but this has nothing to do with heroism, war is very lucrative for them, specially when is very far from their territory. I’ll say it again, fuck NATO and their bullshit, is not about protection of allies, it’s about expanding power and influence as much as possible.

      Ukraine never joined NATO, goofball.

      Are you high or something? Think this through for just a fucking second, will you?

      • NATO comes about as a VOLUNTARY Defensive Alliance to protect against aggressors.

      • Because a house decides to go in on a mutual pact with their neighbor that if an intruder invades their SOVEREIGN land, they both will meet that AGGRESSOR with overwhelming force…

      • … You somehow think it’s fine for the burglar to break in because they put defensive security measures in place and instead should just leave the door unlocked…?

      This is the dumbest fucking thing I’ve heard in a long time and basically means to cave to dictators outright.

      Also, did you forget that Russia once had its own equivalent called the Warsaw Pact? Given your complete lack of knowledge demonstrated here, I doubt it. So what’s stopping them? Oh, there’s no legitimate threat and Russia is a shithole that has nothing to leverage, hence its dissolution.

      Ironically, NATO strengthened because of Putin’s actions lmao.
