Not ideal for a military alliance, but the potential NATO had for invading Russia has been nonexistent. Putin’s invasion diatribe was aimed at reconstructing the Tsarist empire. And with Georgia, Crimea and now Ukraine, Russia had demonstrated again and again its willingness to forcibly annex its neighbors. Blaming the victim doesn’t erase that.
If Brandon & our NWO Elites had critical thinking skills, and weren't still wedded to Cold War thinking, they'd encourage Putin to attempt to reconstitute the former Soviet Union. He'd be broke in a month.
