By the way, “war-mongers” invade nations for new territory and wealth,

Because Russia. The reason for NATO hasn’t changed since 1947.

If Russia would act like a civilized country…they would not need to be caged up like a wild beast.

If Russia is threatened or attacked by China they will flip faster than you can say Siberia.

Because Russia isn’t corrupt?

Even you can’t be THAT delusional.

They’re not afraid of Russia. They’re afraid of a nationalistic Russia.

LOL, for territory and wealth? Your Russia invades to keep.

You support this war of conquest and want the invasion to continue, a true war monger.

Were you teaching computer related classes to Russians?

We will always be at war with Eastasia.

This article wins the prize for least sensible title, it is basically an essay about why Russia would never join NATO. So the author answers his own question, NO.

There is no YES in NATO. But there was in Yeltsin, and Zelensky.

You are funny….look at a map, the largest nation on the planet,…12 time zones packed with over $75 trillion in natural resources that the world needs (especially the EU), more than half the world’s population trades with them, China, India, Africa, SA,…and little debt, no chances of sovereign defaults ( unlike the West).

I am merely pointing out facts….I never bought into the Democrat’s Russian Derangement Syndrome….and I was never tricked into getting those deadly mRNA jabs….

And remember (if you're old enough) how the Democrats loved Russia when they were committed communists?

“no chances of sovereign defaults”

Russia defaulted on part of its foreign currency denominated debt on 27 June 2022

“Every promise imploded in 2014 after the annexation of Crimea”

LOL¹

Crimea was given to Ukraine in 1954. This was further confirmed in 1991 when the Soviet Union broke up.

I am well aware of the absolute mess that is Russia. They are huge. They have great resources. They make relatively little. They strip the resources from their land and send it elsewhere.

After the fall of your beloved Soviet Union, the government privatized many of the industries in the country; handing over huge swaths of their industry to the friends of the leadership.

This has lead to the absolute corruption of the system. These oligarchs are just interested in stealing as much as they can and funneling that money to Switzerland and other tax havens. The Med and Caribbean are full of Russian yachts.

Russia has the potential to be the source of all good in the world. Instead, they treat their resources and people like crap. The world would be better off without the people leading that country.
