    NATO was never supposed to go to war, it was supposed to defend against agression. Every attack by NATO is a huge failure, and a mistake.

      Actually, when you realize that NATO has never ever gone on a defensive war ever, and every conflict it’s been involved in has been about aggression against other countries, you realize that those aren’t mistakes or exceptions: they’re exactly the reason for which NATO was created.

      Death to NATO

      So when NATO expands eastward and it’s seen as aggressive by another nation, especially in regards to historical precedent, how do you think that nation will react?

        Tell me, how many times has NATO attacked a neighbour? Because it usually goes into another continents. So why would it matter who joins?

        How many neighbours has Russia attacked? Oh boy. No wonder every one of them wants a bigger friend.

        So no, fuck Russia. Fuck it for attacking Ukraine, fuck it for attacking EU.

          There’s examples in this very thread where they attack not a neighbor but a country far away. And you see this having more legitimacy? Lol

          How many neighbours has Russia attacked? Oh boy. No wonder every one of them wants a bigger friend.

          Weren’t you the one crying whataboutism lol

          So no, fuck Russia. Fuck it for attacking Ukraine, fuck it for attacking EU.

          Crazy that they just did that, not like they saw any aggression right?

      LMAO

      You really took the propaganda outline of what they told you it was for at face value. NATO from it’s inception has been a vehicle to boost arms sales and further US foreign policy. Or as NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte put it, it is a "platform for the United States to project power on the World stage“.

          Because most of Europe is made of of the most violent imperialists in history who don’t give a fuck about human life beyond their value on a spreadsheet? Do you know nothing of European history? The terrors of the British empire? French terror through the CFA Franc? Finland not removing their air force swastika until 2023? And so much more. NATO is to the modern world what the Axis was in the 1930s the alliance of the most militant imperialists looking out for their interests as capitalism declines.

              It’s literally backing genocide, it’s also attacked a lot more countries than Russia in the last few decades.

              Just admit you’re a racist
