Putin didn’t need a reason to invade Ukraine. He was going to do it sooner or later.

Especially with NATO expanding eastward to his doorstep….the US can not be trusted, remember Baker’s promise when the Berlin Wall came down? …
“ NATO will not move one inch Eastward “, Liar.

Time to suffer the consequences.

The citizens of the United States can't even trust the U.S. government.

The citizens of the United States can’t even trust the U.S. government.

In fact they consider half this country as radical enemies of the state. I’m surprised ANY foreign country trusts the U.S. government.

NATO is not a country, nor is it an aggressor country.

Meanwhile, Russia is an aggressor country, and NATO expansion came as countries near Russia felt threatened by Russia. Even in the last couple years, there have been countries joining NaTO because of the Russian threat. Should those countries have gone it alone and just hope for the best?

If not for the threats by Russia to expand to where they were as the Soviet Union, NATO would still be an alliance of perhaps 5 or so countries. The expansion of NATO was caused by Russia, and their excuse for invading Ukraine was the same as existed since the Soviet Union was formed.

The excuse of NATO expansion for Russia's invasion is bogus and dumb. Putin was going to do it anyway, even if they had to come up with somethng entirely different as an excuse, like Zelensky giving Putin the middle finger.
