    I’m still a bit confused. It was Ukraine that was attacked by Russia and needed to defend itself. How did NATO push them into war?

    Edit: and yes, of course I agree that members of NATO have had a past of imperialism. But does that really mean that they should be labelled an “imperialistic organization” as they stand today?

        Thanks for answering to that guy. It was pretty obvious they were not here “just asking questions”, and also obvious they were downvoting any answer they got, but it’s good to engage the trolls and show other people reading the conversation the reality.

      @SoLongSealion @OrnluWolfjarl they didn’t, and these people are talking crap.

      Between the Ukraine war and the Wagner coup, we’ve learned that if NATO ever wanted to come down on Russia like a tonne of bricks, the best Putin could do is blow up his roads and fuck off into a hole somewhere.

      I sure hope Russia’s paying them, 'cause the alternative is even more depressing.

        I’m honestly unpleasantly surprised to see this much pro Russian propaganda, but it makes sense. Smaller platform means more radicals get a voice.
