I'm not saying there isn't reason for those countries to want to joint an alliance against their imperialist neighbor, but honestly it's kinda hard not to see how NATO's influence has been abused for purposes other than defense.

I won't even disagree, but that still is not a valid excuse to invade a soverign country.

Russia wanted to join NATO under Clinton. NATO said no because a nation has to be stable and not in a conflict to join. Russia had a conflict in Chechnya.

(_see where I’m going _)

Ukraine wanted to join NATO. But if Russia invaded, they can’t join.

Yes, I know why they did it. That doesn't make it valid.

[–] TokenBoomer 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Valid? War isn’t reasonable.

[–] SkyezOpen 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Justified, then. Much like Israel's ongoing bullshit in Gaza is not anywhere near justified.

Oh, you want me to make a moral judgement. Okay. NATO and Putin are to blame. NATO shouldn’t have expanded, and Putin should let his neighbors have sovereignty without meddling in their governments.
