You are clueless, Frick.
What part of the following don’t you understand? “Following Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the rise of security challenges from the south, including brutal attacks by ISIL and other terrorist groups across several continents, NATO implemented the biggest increase in collective defence since the Cold War.”
Frick, that means that after Russia illegally occupied and annexed Crimea (and, BTW, fomented the civil war in the Donbas) in 2014 NATO initiated collective defense measures. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 NATO supplemented those collective defense measures.
Frick, you are logic-impaired. You see, if B (2022 above) is a supplement of A (2014 above), they are both part of the same action. They are not separate and distinct and unrelated as you try to argue.
Frick, you REALLY need to go back to school.
Now, Frick; answer my questions as posed in previous posts on this thread.
Again, the invasion of Ukraine began on 2/24/22, while the annexation of Crimea happened in 2014. They are different events that happened seven years apart. Your instinct is to defend NATO as a defensive alliance, when their own webpage shows what patriots on my side of the argument claim; NATO is an aggressive, interventionist assembly, supported largely by US taxpayers. It’s a pity you can’t understand the words you lifted from their pages. It’s right there in front of your pudding coated nose.
