George Kennan, the intellectual father of America’s containment policy during the cold war, perceptively warned in a May 1998 New York Times interview about what the Senate’s ratification of Nato’s first round of expansion would set in motion. “I think it is the beginning of a new cold war,” Kennan stated. ”I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake. There was no reason for this whatsoever. No one was threatening anybody else.”

Somebody needs to get one of Bidenskyyyyyyyy’s Feral Muzzie stooge “Judges” to put NATO on “temporary pause”.
It was fun while it lasted, 1990s were one hell of a drug. In 1970 you would have told anyone that only things in Warsaw Pact 2.0 circa 2025 were the dusty nations of the south soviet and the bumpkin parts of Belerusia and Ukraine, they would have asked what Ukrainian dictator over through the Warsaw Pact 1.0 communists outa moscow. It all happened without Paris getting nuked, the french rejoice. Let putin think he won the past 25 years, he will be dead and someone dumber will be in charge.
As putin said if Poland had just let Germany have what they “justifiably “ demanded then there wouldn’t have been war.
Got it
How would the US react to countries surrounding ours joining in Warsaw Pact II? It’s not at all unreasonable for Russia to be protective of her people, including those who live where artificial lines have been drawn. Strongman or not Putin in this case is right.
“How would the US react to countries surrounding ours joining in Warsaw Pact II?”
That’s not a hypothetical question, Cuban missile crisis? There are plenty of other examples. Some in the current administration.
Kennan was right. NATO aggression is the key reason why Putin invaded Ukraine.
And billions of dollars sent by Biden to Ukraine is the key reason why a million Ukies and Rooskies are dead.
Huh?
It’s all Obama’s fault. He engineered the 2014 coup in the Ukraine to cover the massive kickback machine Democrats implemented. Millions have died as a result. Despicable.
I assume you have seen the video showing clips of “extremely dangerous to our democracy”. That one is blatantly obvious and the talking points come from the hosts.
There are videos of talking points have gone out to those that seem to make a living as guests. One of which is “this was never about Nato” and the other is “Putin is Hitler”.
Watch tuckers interview with putin.
Pitin said Poland started ww2 by not giving into German territorial claims. Putin was “forced” to invade because Ukraine didn’t recognize Russia’s “historical territorial claims”
Funny how the “anti-nazi” sure acts like the Nazis did😎
