The Russian Case Against NATO According to A History
Facebook ^ | 2nd March 2022 | Pete Le Muth

Posted on 03/15/2022 5:18:45 AM PDT by Candor7

Note that this is a video which reviews the history of grievances that Russia has against NATO. Cause and effect, it is good to understand the Russian position and their alleged justification for the invasion of Ukraine and the image the Russians have of NATO. The Russians see themselves as surrounded by NATO and they fear NATO. When there is fear, there is consequence. The Main Stream Media offers little of no coverage of this history and have successfully branded Russia as an invading horde without understanding what it is that Russia fears and rejects.

Note I do not attempt any justification of Russias invasion of Ukraine, but a detailed appreciation of the history seen through the Russian POV measures Russian resolve. It leads me to believe we are already IN WW III. This fact is being skillfully hidden by Biden, and by other Western political leaders, until some future event which leaves the West unprepared.

Thank you for posting. I am glad to see some context. Most of the information has been one-sided. We are in a day when even showing context or questioning the narrative is frowned upon.

As a proud graduate of tenth grade world history, I have been saying this since day one. According to Tucker Carlson, Zelenskyy has acknowledged the legitimate Russian concerns about an expansionist NATO during PEACE talks. Why the rush to regional general warfare?

How about the history of repression/suffering Russia/Soviets have inflicted on their neighbors and is now inflicting on Ukraine? F___ their supposed grievances.

This is such utter tripe and garbage. Reminds how we were told we have to understand the feelings of the BLM looters.

I did not appreciate the cursing, but it is interesting to see the issue from the Russian perspective. We only get one side mostly. Again, thanks for posting.

So OK Russis fears NATO. So they illegally capture Ukraine so as to avoid having a NATO neighbor. Ukraine then becomes part of Russia. Now Russia has a new neighbor, Poland? What then?

Like I have indicated , we are already in WW III, but the West is treating it like a skirmish.

A sure recipe with getting hit by “surprise” so Biden can replay a Pearl Harbor announcement after his diplomacy of appeasement fails.

How fast can you say Nukey Nookey Nebraska NATO silos.

Geriatric Joe stand sup and says” Today will go down in history as a day of infamy.......

Not to be alarmist, but if I were really me, I would be dusting off the old fall out shelter.

Thats it. BUt the EWest is not preparing for WW III, whichi we are now actually IN. If we measure Russias resolve in its POV, you can conclude ths is not over until the fat lady sings. And that fat ladty is mostly in a basement in Delaware.

The WEst is going to get nailed with a nuke. The question is “where?” Yet we are unprepared in our vociferous outrage. The West should NOW be ON a wartime footing.....like it was after Jan 6th when Nancy Pelosi asked for crew served weapons on Capitol Hill.The effing left and its MSM doesn’t know a real threat when its faced with it.

There are times when my fellow-conservatives trip over themselves to be ‘rational’ at the expense of their humanity. Your comment is spot on.

I don't buy this "Russia and Putin are afraid of NATO" crap.

The only thing Putin is afraid of is having former Soviet satellite nations join NATO, thus blocking him from an eventual Georgian-Belarusan-Crimean style forceful takeover and puppet government installation.

Name me one former Soviet Bloc country that NATO has rolled tanks into.

When the 'shroom happens I doubt that Ms P will have to worry about creating another un-select committee.....

WE HAVE A WINNER!! Russia should pay reparations to all the former Soviet block countries they enslaved.

Russia has some hypersonic missile capability.

That will defeat most if not all of our missile defenses. That is why they are feeling froggy.

As for Nebraska silos. Not many left. Most were taken offline “At the end of history!” if you remember that BS.
