If it wasn’t created to directly oppose Russia/the USSR, how come they were the only applicant who was rejected back in the 1950’s

Lmfao

It's not just the mere existence of NATO, it's the expansion to their borders and Russian support for Ukraine (including Ukrainian Nazis) in their proxy war against Russia that's provoking Russia.

Russia isn't asking for NATO to be abolished lol

Violence being inherently immoral is a schoolyard take bro. Economic violence occurs every day around us, yet you seem keen on defending those systems

Toxic kings

Gaslight these w****s

Make em do emotional labor all day

Totally unbiased take

Bruh no distespek but this is literally the moral philosophy of most kindergarteners

Not honest

but like why is nato expanding east bad? lol

just because it makes russians feel less secure? so what?

When you "invade" land that's been occupied since 2014 by people who support Russia

Let's see what the USA would think if China put troops in Mexico or Canada

Matter of fact there was this thing called Cuban Missile Crisis

The reason most leftists are opposed to this is because it will

a. Lead to inevitable war as Russia destabilizes due to a shrinking power sphere and will attempt to defend its interests. LOTS of innocent people will die because rich people want to have power.

b. Increases NATO hegemony which means their corporate masters can do what they want with all the resources and people in Eastern Europe

The existence of a multipolar world pre-socialism is what most socialists prefer because a singular capitalist hegemony is a bad bad thing (British Empire)

Same reason that it would be bad if the Warsaw pact still existed, and Mexico talked about "liberating" Texas, and the USSR pushed for Mexico to join the pact.

"Invading" is not honest in the slightest. It takes seconds of research to determine that land has been separated from Ukraine for years

okay it's hypocritical, so what? it doesnt mean that it's bad.

ok so russians feel less secure with nato on their border? ok so do the eastern european nations without nato, what about them? why does russian security matter more than theirs?

If he was invading he would just invade. Putin doesn't need to do this

Why are you shilling for a nazi govt

I'm not a leftoid who throws around nazi btw

idgi?

if mexico felt threatened, itd be good for the USSR to offer to join the pact

The USA having its troops 6000 km across an ocean is normal but God forbid Russia wants cordial neighbors
