" Tell Russia how NATO doesn’t threaten anybody after seeing NATO bomb Yugoslavia and Libya "

So that is your response to the refutation of your absurd implicit premise that NATO is the aggressor against a peaceful Putin? You simply are continuing to manifest ignorance and illogic. The argument was never that NATO is not a threat to anyone, but that unlike "we will nuke you" invader Putin, NATO has never been in invader of peaceful countries, and while I disagree with Clinton's adventure, the Kosovo war was in response to civil war, and as a result of "atrocities committed by the police, paramilitary groups, and the army...The Contact Group—an informal coalition of the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and Russia—demanded a cease-fire, the withdrawal of Yugoslav and Serbian forces from Kosovo, the return of refugees, and unlimited access for international monitors." But, "The Yugoslav and Serbian forces responded with a ruthless counteroffensive and engaged in a program of ethnic cleansing."[1`]

Thus international intervention was seen as warranted, but which did not have as its goal that of taking over a country, and instead "In June 1999, NATO and Yugoslavia signed a peace accord to end the Kosovo War...In February 2008, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia. Subsequently, Yugoslavia ceased to exist in 2003 and became the individual countries of Serbia and Montenegro." [2]

In contrast, Putin is himself an oppressor of freedom (I would likely quickly end up in prison simply for evangelizing) whose invasions on exaggerated pretenses are unwarranted, and who leaves the area worse than before out of lust for control.

In any case, it is Russia, which NATO cannot conquer even is it tried, that is the military threat to NATO, which exists for defensive purposes, which Putin has only shown to be warranted.

Now that I see you are quite the newbie but I see nothing on your home page, so I ask, just how old are you? Do you claim to be a Christian? Do you support Putin outlawing any expression of faith apart from the RO? Do you think Israel is the victim or the Palestinians? Do you also think the holocaust was fabricated?
