My friend it was never about NATO. There is no prospective out there based in fact where NATO has anything to do with it.

Russia said since 2014 this was about NATO. Even before they protested strongly the NATO expansion. So how can it not be about NATO? You're either completely uninformed or lying.

You have the media literacy of a fly. Not even Russia supporters believe this is about NATO.

Uh… yes, we do? I mean not only about NATO, but definitely also about NATO. Even liberals like Jeffrey Sachs and radlibs like Noam Chomsky and undead ghouls like Henry Kissinger agree.

It's an element but anyone saying the war was started because of NATO is clearly bullshitting. Now if you were to ask why the war is still going on despite both sides wanting peace, NATO is a pretty succinct and accurate explanation.

Well if you insist on not taking Russia seriously - then you must be very pleased with the result. Maybe you should call Putin a Hitler a few more times, that will solve everything :D

The British news outlet The Guardian: "Many predicted Nato expansion would lead to war. Those warnings were ignored."

By "the Guardian" here what you mean is "an opinion piece from the fucking Cato Institute"

It was an excellent question, and neither the Clinton administration nor its successors provided even a remotely convincing answer.

The answers are South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Transnistria
