its a purely defensive alliance.

they won't do anything to Russia unless Russia invades a NATO country. They aren't even rlly pushing militarily against this invasion rn cus Ukraine is not NATO.

There is not a real risk for Russia in Ukraine joining NATO. I'm pretty dam sure Russian leadership knows this too. Yes, they say that its because of NATO encroachment but I'm pretty sure thats just to save face in public.

"Dear Mister President"

Oh BROTHER

liberals

Abysmal comparison

Made this post earlier itt about why
Ukrainian NATO membership is a threat for Russia, what are your thoughts:

NATO is a military alliance that was formed in case that the West would possibly ever have to go to war with Russia during the cold war. Article 5 says that if one NATO member is attacked, it's regarded as an attack against all NATO members.

With the taking down of the Berlin wall, the US promised to Gorbachev would not move "one inch forward" to the East. A promise that has not been held as many other Eastern European countries have joined NATO.

The reason Ukrainian NATO membership is such a threat is that Ukraine is right at their borders. The black sea fleet in the Crimea was Russia's only fleet that was available year round, which is why they annexed the Crimea in 2014 after the US-backed coup in Ukraine, because they would lose access to that fleet which they see as crucial for their security.

In addition, Ukraine has also hinted at "liberating" (ie invading) the Crimea, if Ukraine does that as a NATO member, it's essentially the same as entirety of the West invading the Crimea, as Putin said here:

So that's why Putin is trying to prevent this, he's taking it very far and taking a by any means necessary approach to it.

Here comes the people using this to moral grandstand and profit off it and increase their celebrity

Guys let's all send tweets and TikToks in support of Ukraine that'll stop the war
:elon:

gotta use that creative writing degree somehow

understand dugin understand putin

It's literally the exact same thing

nato being a purely defensive alliance is entirely disproven after we bombed kosovo and then bombed iraq and then bombed libya and then bombed syria and then bombed afghanistan

Maybe if we all sing we are the world Putin will stop

no it isn't

NATO is defensive.

Crimea is currently recognized as part of Russia. Ukraine "getting it back" would 100% be offensive. There would be zero reason for NATO to back that.

Russia wants to host the premier of Oppenheimer

@Kev this tweet is for u

Which is a bullshit claim because non of the ex USSR states that are now in NATO and bordering Russia would attack them

They fear them

I mean...imagine your enemy grabbing your neighbor and planting flags and weapons next to your yard.

Kaytie Tee sure gonna get the job done though Hernaldo

Alright so how does this really end cause I’m getting anxious lol

That is true too

Baudelaire who ?

If you need some extra bucks just post your paypal on twitter and say you're some scared ukrainian in desperate need for money to get out of the country

Nothing about NATO is hostile, its a defensive alliance. Joining NATO would protect them from Russian aggression, NATO would not side with them if they invaded Russia.

this may be true maybe they aren't a purely defensive alliance but the point is if Ukraine had joined NATO the likelihood of any invasion of Russia would still have been incredibly minimal.
