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?
*NATO said they would not expand after the fall of the Berlin wall, and they lied
*NATO bombed Serbia because Serbia was fighting off radical muslims and NATO needs to protect radical Muslims so they can overrun Europe and replace the native population
*NATO kept adding nations on the borders of Russia and filling them with offensive weapons aimed at Russia
*The CIA toppled the elected governments of Ukraine and Georgia with governments that would host offensive weapons aimed at Russia
*Our own government admitted just last month that we had various biolabs, as Tucker mentioned, in Ukraine and that they admitted it would be bad if Russia secured them (why is that unless we were doing something illegal, hmmm?)
*Also as soon as the legit Ukraine government was overthrown in 2014 we had the entire Democratic party sending “officials” over there, and in the 2020 election we had the Ukraine ambassador announce that Donald Trump should not be re-elected as President
So yeah sorry not sorry I am not some mindless slob who will fall for your neocon propaganda, you guys over there at Langley and the Guardian need to do better because your historical revisionism doesn’t work anymore
