    One would think so, but then we see the wild mental gymnastics going on to defend Russia. Pretty wild stuff!

      I have seen more wild mental gymnastics from people defending the most prolific invader in the world (i.e. NATO) and claims that the rest of the world is bad for defending itself against it.

      On that note, what do you think a state should do when the most prolific invader in the world starts amassing troops on its borders (or otherwise in position to attack, like with Iran), especially after said invader carries out a coup against a neighbouring state?

        and claims that the rest of the world is bad for defending itself against it.

        So, let me guess – the invasion and occupation of Ukraine is a defensive action then?

          are you OK? You do know that nato funded and sent mercenaries to conduct the coup of Ukraine right?

          They tried the same thing with Afghanistan but the people there werent having anyof that.

          ALSO nato has been involved in more aggressive military operations than defensive ones since its conception.

          Im not saying the Russians are heroes or anything Im just givknf you the facts lol

          Quick question: can you tell me what defensive operations NATO has performed? Like stuff it did in its own countries? This isn’t a trick question, there are answers.
