    What else to do? NATO is the one who been encroaching to the Russian borders for decades, even though it promissed it would never expand.

    The good part is most of the arsenal of NATO has been destroyed and used up on Ukraine. Perfect timing.

      Lol, ah the encroachment talking point. NATO doesn’t force countries to join. Maybe if Russia was a better neighbor, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Baltics requesting to join. Fucking chud. Also there was NEVER a promise. That talking point has been disproven over and over.

        How do you know whether NATO forces the countries to join or not? From the TV and news? Or have you been in the meetings and heard all the details?

      ”Most of the arsenal of NATO”?

      That’s just ridiculous. Not a single NATO country has compromised their own defense for this, which can be argued to be a bad or a good thing from either side, and most everyone’s been buying up new gear and investing heavily on new tech; they are, with a few minor exceptions, basically sending the scraps that’d go to landfill if it wasn’t convenient-ish to send them to Ukraine instead….

      Promise to never expand

        Firstly, do you disagree with the fact that NATO promised, in 1990, it would never expand an inch towards Russia?

        Has it expanded since then or not?
