Ooh, let's play "find the dark history"! What better way to distract from today's issues and avoid talking about solutions for tomorrow's problem!
This is me agreeing with you, to be clear. The description "taints in its history" is so ubiquitous as to be useless. Yes, acknowledging the errors of the past is important to learn from them and improve, but the focus needs to be on that learning and improving.
The NATO has potential to be a force of security. In a modern world, conflict between peers is more destructive than ever and the returns on aggressive action are more strongly affected by the strength of the defense, such a union of forces can discourage attack by making it too unprofitable.
Of course, that requires the union to actually stand united and the potential aggressor to be reasonable and motivated by the state's prosperity. Neither of those seem entirely guaranteed right now...
Your opinions are certainly grounded in reality at least. It's refreshing to read something sensible for a change.
There are a lot of dudes working for the fucking Russians too.
Yes i'm sure they are doing a very busy job like they were in their tainted history (false flag operations to delegitimize left-wing parties in Western European countries)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Response
"Several of the operations were along the coast in the borders between sea and land, and together with roads and populated areas. Surveillance, patrols, road control posts, vehicle inspection, control of air space, minesweeping, evacuation of civilians, and riot control were important part of the exercise."
Where do i find a fault in conducting vehicle inspections and riot control at peace time, from an organization with a shady past involving false flag operations, psychological warfare and assassinations aimed at delegitimize left-wing parties.
Dunno buddy let me keep thinking
The ukrainian military also have checkpoints in the west border to make sure any male between 18 and 60 doesn't leave the country so that they can be forced into war.

To me this sound like military rhetoric coming from a military man. You self defined yourself as being a moderately honest anarchist, i suggest you to keep doing your anarchist readings and re-read the works of Emma Goldman and Errico Malatesta.

In this video you can see soldiers patrolling the borders with rifles and dogs and using drones to scan the area, what's your definition of heavily armed? They look heavily armed enough to me.
I hope that's true, according to wikipedia half of the people trying to escape are getting caught
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobilization_in_Ukraine
"Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, around 650,000 military-aged men have left the country. According to Ukrainian authorities, as of November 2023, around 20,000 people had been caught while trying to cross the border illegally since February 2022, and another 20,000 successful crossings were recorded between February 2022 and 31 August 2023 according to a BBC Eye Investigation."
Malatesta wrote multiple times on the subject.
