    This threat completely undermines the western claim that nato expansionism should not have threatened russia into the ukraine war.

    You can not claim that nato is a benign and peaceful defensive alliance while simultaneously saying that others should be threatened by its expansion.

        I’m not saying they do give a fuck. I’m saying that next time you get into an argument about nato expansionism you should use it in persuading people towards the position nato is used as an aggressive organisation and threatens others. It is clear and undeniable here.

          The whole defense shtick is only for domestic liberals and fascists living in potential vassal states. NATO has waged war against humanity for the past 80 years, nobody in their right mind actually believes in that stuff.

            The vast majority of average people in the west sincerely believe it and need to be persuaded otherwise.

          Yeah ok fair comment. I’m sure Libs will still find some way to contort themselves into believing the exact same thing though.
