We don’t know the truth. What we are told by these neocon shills is just a bunch of lies...

Yep Here’s what I do understand...Russia did not want Ukraine to join NATO and have the bully at its doorstep. Ukraine didn’t join NATO. But NATO countries are supporting and funding this war. So who is the bad guy? hmmmm

Mearsheimer has several talks on what is really going on here and who the bad guys are and what happens when you get in a war with someone who has a 10:1 artillery advantage over you. But Mearsheimer is apparently a Putin lover too so I have to rely on the Post to tell me who the bad guy is, I guess. One thing we are not to do is to make up our own minds about who the bad guys are. It sure isn’t the bully shoving his own team around to keep them in line.

Moronic statement. russia was being "bullied" by Lithuania, Estonia or Latvia being in NATO?

Bad guys are people like Hitler or Putin who invade neighboring countries for territorial expansion.

In what way was Nato a bully in Feb 2022?

All its armies were a tiny fraction of what they were thirty years before and completely unprepared for war. Almost all of its swords had been beaten into plowshares.

What threat did Nato pose towards Russia, with all the Euro militaries (save Poland), in a moribund state?

The Russian narrative here is pure propaganda. The Russian concern was that Ukraine would be able to resist Russian pressure to become a puppet like Belorussia.
