Comments by "daniel webb" (@danielwebb8402) on "Is Putin Right About Nato's Eastward Expansion? - TLDR News" video.

The reason they wanted all of Eastern Europe for 50 years wasn't due to Rissian behaviour. But German behaviour times two.

Is he right from his and Russia's point of view? Is the question. And that can reasonably be answered yes. That's not a stupid or paranoid thought. As many have said, would the states accept Russian nuclear bombs in Cuba or Russian military permanently stationed in Northern Mexico? Doesn't mean he's right to bomb Ukrainian hospitals. Doesn't mean he's wrong to strongly not want Ukraine in NATO. (Realise I sound like Kenobi in Jedi "from a certain point of view")

@zhongxina2614 The reason Russia wanted to take over Eastern Europe. Not all. Was to have buffers. To stop Germany trying to invade Russia. As it had trued twice. Is what I said

@JohnDoe-gd5cq Very true. For the war occurring. But for invading Russia? UK weren't responsible for that for example.

@zhongxina2614 Is not what a Russian felt like in 1946. Or 1966. Or 1996. They may not have been correct. But that is what a reasonable Russian would have felt in 1996. That the last country to invade us was Germany. I'm scared that will happen again.

@Anttihii Agree they shouldn't have invaded anyone. I said that. The video is asking if NATOs Eastern expansion worried Russians. It did. "Well it shouldn't have" is a viewpoint. A mental time frame longer than milk lasts in the fridge is key for this channel and its audience to gain. So aware of how people in the 8bn humans think other than oneself. Mental empathy. Believe me, millions in France are still cautious that Germany could invade in the future.

@Iamallwaysright1 You don't think Russia is afraid / has memories of German military invasion? That a reason for having / wanting buffer countries between Germany and Russia was due to the second half of the 20th century was due to WW1 and 2. That can be true at the same time as Albania being scared of Russian invasion. That it works both ways. Russia is wrong to invade Ukraine. Russia being negative on NATO weapons potentially being in Ukraine. The point of this video. Is a congruent thought process for a Russian to have. Russian empire retracted. Quite a bit. From 1989. When it went as far as East Germany. Was quite big news.
