  1.  @AnnedolfFrankler911  Maybe Russia should stop threatening sovereign democracies, so countries wouldn't feel the need to seek NATO membership to protect their citizens and sovereignty from Russia aggression. Just look at Mexico. They don't seek a defensive alliance, because they don't get threatens from their neighbor like Russia does to Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, est.

  2.  @AnnedolfFrankler911  Russia's fear of Ukraine is as silly as an American fear of a Mexican invasion.

  3.  @AnnedolfFrankler911  NATO has to back down from what? Russia is the only aggressor in this crisis.

  4.  @bachelor3846  Putin knows NATO won't attack Russia, but as has his propaganda make the defensive alliance seem like a threat, because his domestic audience loves to feel like victims even when they are the aggressive warmongers. Putin's real issue with NATO is that the alliance prevents him from using the military to dominate its neighbors. He rather the Baltic countries not be part of the alliance, so he could attack them like Georgia and Ukraine without facing off against American forces. He also doesn't want Ukraine or Georgia to join, because it will remove the option of attacking the countries everytime they decide to trade outside the Russian sphere of influence. Russia and Belarus keep doing mock-invasion military drills next to the Baltic nations. In addition, Russia straight up attacked Estonia with cyber attacks only a few years ago. If Putin wasn't scared of NATO, he would have just sent troops to occupy the countries with a BS pretext of "protecting Russian speakers".

  5.  @AnnedolfFrankler911  A defensive alliance. Russia only has to worry about NATO if it attacks its neighbors.

  6.  @AnnedolfFrankler911  *The Russia military is literally occupying Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia. *Russia attacked Ukraine in 2014 for trying to establish a trade deal with the EU. *Russia is currently threatening to invade Ukraine for establishing relations with Europe. *All this "National Security" BS is just Russia trying to justify being a bully. There wasn't any pressure to join NATO. A significant majority of Eastern Europeans support the alliance, while polls also show a very unfavorable view of Russia.

  7. Putin has backed himself into a corner. His domestic audience will think he looks weak if he backs down without a Western concession (which doesn't seem to be coming.)

  8.  @lanapodebrad7179  Then why is Russia worried about troop movement within the NATO alliance?

  9.  @devrusso  Putin demanded NATO withdraw forces from Eastern NATO countries.

  10. @StavroGavro Putin is giving Ukraine and the West ultimatums with veiled threats. Do you really think Putin will let Biden or Zelenskyy scoff at his demands without a response? Do you think Putin will give up his Russian strongman image that he has been building for 30 years?
