Well, lets not forget that one of the countries in NATO invaded Russia, and it was through a another country that’s in NATO.
Not defending Russia’s aggression, just noting that there are historical backdrops we need to be mindful of. Looking at things from one way is never the best way to deal with situations or come up with constructive solutions to problems.
I understand. I'm just confused by the constant reminders by some that poor Russia has been invaded in the past. Every freakin' country in Europe has been invaded by some other country in Europe at some point. And Russia has been one of those invaders at various times and places.
The countries that enjoyed Russian rule for 50 years are precisely the ones clamoring to join NATO, and Russia has no one to blame but themselves.
