To imply that NATO is a non-expansionist entity is demonstrably fallacious. Twelve nations becomes thirty nations, and NATO is acting outside of its borders, and has for decades.

Once again, NATO is voluntary vs the Russian invasion. Also, why does Russia care about NATO expansion, is it a serious invasion threat to nuclear Russia or does it stop Russia from bullying its neighbors?

--- "...Once again, NATO is voluntary...."

Your Cathy Newman (BBC) imitation is showing. In the last decades, a number of nations have been rejected or postponed for years for entry into NATO. It's not a club. It is a geopolitical entity. Like the EU, which currently is contending with some member states to "do as we say" in Brussels, NATO sometimes acts aggressively, as it is doing today in Kosovo. Peace keeping, don't you know. Sometimes NATO has bombed non-NATO nations. Peace keeping, "once again."

I don't speak for Russia any more than I speak for Ukraine, nor do I speak for the Biden administration's massive financial support for the current post-Maidan Ukraine. I speak for those Americans who see a $31 trillion debt being piled on their shoulders, while war enthusiasts cheer billions a month being siphoned into (and perhaps some of it out of) the current Ukraine government.

It is unclear for which you advocate. Biden? Von der Leyen? Lloyd Austin and Raytheon. Jens Stollenberg and the new NATO focus on climate change? Maybe you're a Pelosi kind of guy?

"Once again" and "also."
