NATO wouldn't need to expand if Russia wasn't constantly threatening their neighbors.

They’ve only ever threatened their neighbors during NATO expansion efforts.

Complete horseshit. They literally invaded and installed a puppet regime in Chechnia, and there were zero NATO "expansion efforts" there. And that is just one example out of many.

Russia was threatening their neighbors before NATO even existed.

NATO existed before Russia, genius. It’s an anti-Soviet org.

Your immense historical knowledge seems to have missed the fact that Russia existed long before the Soviet Union, Einstein.

You’re proposing that this Russia is the same one? When did they re-establish the czar?

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 16 points 17 hours ago

The Soviet Union was still Russia. They've not changed their attitude since then.

Then explain this different government, economy, and borders.

This is abuser logic. "If you would quit misbehaving, then I wouldn't have to hit you!"

It’s an adult understanding of international politics. Aggression rarely goes unanswered.
