Yes, yes it has. And it’s directly because Russia engaging in exactly the type of expansionist wars NATO was set up to stop.
Russia never left the cold war mindset. Putin thinks, acts, and leads like is sociopath KGB agent.
Russia is still running the exact same playbook that they were running in the cold war. Invading countries that try to leave Russia’s sphere of influence, sending unmarked soldiers over the border to disarm your neighbors, and lying to your citizens about it the whole time. Russia went right back to the cold war as soon as Putin rose to power as Russia’s dictator.
Says the country that is at war with a democracy, one that sought EU and NATO membership. But was denied into NATO to appease Russia!!!
Shut up Russia, you are despicable. Hopefully you will recede into irrelevancy after losing to Ukraine. And hopefully get dissolved into multiple countries.
I mean… it did so because Russia became a real and persistent threat again.
You can see the gaslighting a mile away. Fuck off, Russia.
That’s just a burning refinery.
We’ll stop treating you like monsters when you stop acting like monsters.
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
I wonder whose to blame there
Russia has never stopped attacking the US, and never will.
NO U (ss) R
Russia would know, they never gave up that mindset. They’re just mad NATO is back to playing their game instead of assuming the game stopped years ago.
FOAD
More likely a hot war I reckon
Lol
NATO has learned that proxy wars can be extremely effective by beingboth victim and perpetrators. If that’s a cold war mindset, then I guess it’s true.
Russia: *attacks Ukraine*
Russia: “How could NATO do this”
Tankie or russophiles? I want to tag you in my app correctly.
You legend!
Are you pretending NATO isn’t using Ukraine as a proxy? Sure Russia started it, but that doesn’t make it not a proxy war.
Actually putting blame on Russia while also condemning nato, tankie tag it is.
I don’t want to even argue the semantics of supplying aid vs proxy war so sure, nato proxy war it is. Does that now turn nato into the perpetrators of the war? No, pretty sure Russia still invaded a soverign country under false pretense. And funnily enough, Russia is still the only side that can unilaterally end the war. Ukraine is fighting for survival. If they left Ukraine, there would be no war, so we can’t even blame ANYONE else for prolonging it.
The Afghanistan war cost 2.3 trillion (to the US alone) and accomplished basically nothing. Ukraine has received a small fraction of that amount (maybe 15%) and has singlehandedly significantly reduced Russia’s capabilities in 2 years. They were thought of as the number 2 world military superpower and they’ve been turned into a joke.
Not to mention NATO literally was created to oppose Soviet imperialism. Supporting Ukraine is them doing their fucking job.
Russia’s strength in depth has also been heavily eroded. I have trouble imagining the US attacking a coastal country and losing a third of a fleet. Satellite imagery show old tank parks being emptied out. This has become pyrrhic for russia even if they take territory in the end.
Good lap dog.
