I wager if NATO never inched closer, and closer, to Russia Ukraine would never be in a war.
If BRICS trained Mexicans to attack the US, you can be assured the US would start with a SMO against the Mexicans
Read my post again, NATO didn’t “inch” anywhere, and Canada, Mexico, and the United States relations are no threat to the world and have nothing to do with the place of World Wars and nuclear weapons, and Gulags and the murder of 10 of millions of people and the place of Concentration camps and horrors on scales that don’t even seem real.
There is a reason those European countries live in fear of Russia and keep seeking out NATO and begging to be allowed to join.
