    All of the countries near Russia that joined NATO did so because they already have their biggest aggressor on their doorsteps.

        If buying stuff from the other side is your yardstick, NATO clearly wasn’t a threat to Russia. Germany, Italy, France, and America were all some of Russia’s largest import sources in 2021.

            Yep, those Russian tanks that crossed into Ukrainian sovereign land were tanks of peace.

            Oh cool, then neither is aggressor. Since they were both doing business with each other. Because apparently that’s how it works.

                Functionally illiterate troll does not understand “your argument is self-defeating nonsense” unless it’s spelled out.

                And I’m putting a lot of faith in the implication you understand it even now.

                    I’m sorry I misplaced that faith.

                    I am using your argument… to point out… your argument makes no god-damn sense. I don’t believe your argument. I am highlighting how, if you believed your argument, you’d find it fucks up your conclusion. But you don’t care.

                    You’re just making mouth noises to justify a conclusion you picked well before any argument-shaped sentences.
