I guess you’re making Putin’s point, aren’t you?
“I guess you’re making Putin’s point, aren’t you?”
Whether or not any country elects to join NATO and whether or not NATO elects to expand is not a matter in which Putin has a veto.
What’s ironic here is that in 1995 Russia was contemplating membership in NATO. I do not consider it a coincidence that Putin joined the Yeltsin government and then that opportunity was ended. Had Russia joined NATO then it would have had a say in who joins NATO.
So for now Putin’s opinion on who does or does not join NATO is irrelevant. And if he wants to go to war over it then that’s his choice, just as the war in Ukraine was his choice.
But Pidor Putin, Tsar of all Razvaluha, is lying to himself if he thinks he will be unopposed.
