    But you are willing to overlook the USA bankrolling and arming Israel so it can commit genocide.

    How rude of me to point that out in the title. I can see why this upsets you now.

      Do we need to say china-backed or iran-backed or North Korean-backed russia every time they commit a war crime as well? And yeah fuck governments that back israel. But that’s not a nato thing, they are about defending nato countries, that’s why russia is a threat to them.

        Western media loves saying “Iran backed Houthis” I am not sure why it upsets you so much that I did the same for Israel and NATO.

        North Korea does not subsidize the Russian military. It sells to Russia.

        Backing implies that the primairy source of power comes from the backer and the primary source of power from Israel comes from NATO, not from itself.

          North korean literally sent a couple thousands troops to the meat grinder at the front line.

          And russian propaganda upsets me yeah. It annoys the fuck out of me.
