Okay, I was writing whatever popped into my head, but same difference. I don’t remember off the top of my head what countries are and aren’t in. Some that should be, aren’t, and such. But NATO’s functionality was triggered after 9/11, it isn’t all Russia Russia Russia-only is my point. If Russia, Taiwan, and Japan joined then China would really be out of luck if it considered attacking any of those three.

We’ll see how mightily Atlas continues to talk when the bread lines come back as Russia’s already pathetically small economy crumbles to dust.
This is a vanity war for glorified Lebensraum, regardless of what some mook who has been spoon-fed indoctrinating propaganda wants to say.

Actually NATO more or less exists as a counter to Russia. It was established specifically to counter the Soviets, the defensive alliance part is for defense against Russia. In your Chinese example NATO as an alliance doesn’t apply since Japan isn’t a NATO member.
I’m Russian and I kinda wonder why our people still threats NATO as enemies. Okay, soviet union has a communist ideology, but nowadays Russia is typical capitalist country. There’s nothing to lose now.

I’m tired of scrolling through news and seeing more and more companies stopping their work in Russia. Sanctions are supposed to hit oligarchs, but they hurt civilians way more than them. Why? What did WE do? Do you expect us to go out and protest in your sweet hopes that we’ll be heard by government or we can just go and overthrow them ourselves? It may work for you, but it does not work in Russia. Also, protests against the war are now illegal, not many will dare to risk their families and freedom for a futile attempt to show government how civilians dont want this war. 15 years in jail, just because you wanted peace..

Putin left the west with little choice.
We can’t invade, we can’t directly interfere in Ukraine, the only avenue left is to cripple the Russian economy and isolate the Russian government.

Having a right to doesn’t mean they have the power to. Russian police can and do drop the hammer on anyone they catch saying something the goons at the top don’t like.

Well, there’s the power to do things like they’re doing now.
@Background Pony #DD6F
It’s a horrible paradox. But even if it’s so risky for you, it’s impossible for outsiders due to Russian nukes. The Russian people - or more likely, the Russian military - are the only ones who can stop the Putin regime. And if that means making not acting hurt worse than acting… well, it’s a terrible way of doing it. But can you think of a better one?

Putin had a conference yesterday and tried to assure everyone that the war was “Going according to plan.”
Either he’s in full “This is Fine” territory or one of his Yes Men is gonna have Very Bad Day when they have to tell him the truth.

Yeah People need to take a step back and realize that Putin is not Russia, and while Russia’s invasion is bad the goal shouldn’t be to punish regular Russian citizens. Hell at one point you had politicians here calling to kick Russian students out of the US.

Right, last I checked it was two politicians who floated this, but I’m sure others are out there who agree. I don’t think that’s them being racist and just taking the opportunity to express it but instead just them getting caught up in the moment, people act stupid sometimes and it hurts people.
