  1.  @neezdutz7443  I am Polish. We are not russophobic. We are russoexperienced. We joined Nato because we wanted to be secured. We did it because of Russia. We were right. And Russia is not our master to tell us we could not. Deal with it.

  2.  @NoelNaggis  Letting Russia join Nato is like letting abusive husband get into women's shelter.

  3. He never applied and did not want to stay in line. Russia demanded special treatment and this is not how Nato works.

  4. Nato expands because Russia's neighbours want to be secured and they apply to join. Russia did invade non Nato neighbour so Nato exists for a reason. Russia never applied to join and did not want to stay in line and this is not how Nato works.

  5.  @boxingmessaboutwithmydonro3347  Bad neighbour by doing what? Being tired of russian crimes and wanting a better life? Being independent and democratic unlike Russia? That is a threat for Putin. That is for sure.

  6.  @utibeabasiudoh6169  USSR was Hitler's ally till 1941 and invaded Poland 17 days after Naz Germany. For Eastern Europe USSR was anything but liberator.

  7. Russia is always the same. Putin was always the same. West did not want to see his true colors. Ask people of Chechenya.

  8.  @briancarno8837  It is like blaming a victim (Ukraine) for calling the police. Did you ask yourself why so many former Warsaw pact members joined Nato as quicly as they could? Because they knew Russia would never change. Russia is always the same.

  9.  @proselytizingorthodoxpente8304  USSR invaded Poland on 17 of september 1939, 17 days after Hitler. Soviets killed 22 000 Polish people in Katyn forest in 1940. USSR was anything but liberator for Eastern Europe.

  10.  @aAverageFan  Poland has never had any treaty wth Hitler unlike USSR. Hitler and Stalin had a pact to split Poland which they did. Soviets committed Katyn massacre of Polish people in 1940 and have been lying for decades to come about who did it.USSR promised free election in Eastern Europe in 1945. It did not happen. Stop playing liberators. For many Poles Soviets were no better than Nazis. Russia loves taking all soviet glory and always skips its dark sides.

  11.  @solomonblack6344  He was always the same. Ask peole of Chechenya oo ask all those opponents inside of Russia he ordered to kill (Litvinenko, Poitkovskaya, Berezovsky)

  12.  @aAverageFan  Poland has never had any treaty with Hitler unlike USSR. We did not "invade" You have no clue.

  13.  @icecp4279  Ukraine is an independent state, USSR is gone and why should we always care about Russia's excuses, greed, paranoia and sensitive feelings whle Russia itself never respected Easter Europe, its freedom, independence, right to decide on its own? I am tired of treating Russia like a special need country. Nato is bs excuse. Putin hates Nato because Nato stops him.

  14.  @jabaltariq4606  USA does not invade in order to annex.Russia does. I am not sorry for Talibs, Saddam or Mlosevic. USA is a super power. Russia is cheap gas station.

  15.  @StrykezMan09  Do you care about Eastern Europeans and their will to be secured by Nato in all of this? Is Russia a special need baby?

  16.  @aAverageFan  Poland has never had any treaty with Hitler and it was not "invasion". Go back to school, Ivan.

  17. There is no paper signed not to expand Nato east that you can show me so stop lying and who is Russia to decide about other country's pact choice? Eastern Europeans are free people, their pact choice is up to them, not up to Putin.

  18.  @OnujawaDavids  Russia always needs excuses. Putin wants Ukraine and "I am protecting my people" is every dictator's favourite excuse to annex somebody else's land.

  19.  @cyrilamin1072  USA is a good neighbour so Mexico does not have to join Russia in any alliance in order to be secured from USA. USA does not invade to annex. Russia does. Putin wants to annex Ukraine and Nato is bs excuse only.

  20.  @Jesusisyhvh1  And Russia is cheap gas station and anything but super power but loves using whataboutism and comparing itself to USA all the time. Guess what? Average American does not think about Russia at all. Russia does not deserve it.

  21.  @bonnie7898  Russia always expects everybody to treat Russia like a special need country. And who is Russia? Cheap gas station with not even half of Kalifornia's gdp.

  22.  @Tina-gm4uf  Russia always feels "provoked", "not respected enough" and uses every excuse it can find to grab somebody else's land and freedom. They love pretending liberators while being anything but. We owe Russia nothing.

  23.  @bwflnz5310  Russia is the one which can not stop invading and annexing. This is what Russia is all about.

  24. Russia always plays the victim while being Eastern Europe's biggest bully. We owe Russia nothing. Eastern Europe moved on. Russia is stucked in the past.

  25. Russia is chea gas station with Italy's gdp whch can not stand Eastern Europe is not russian backyard anymore. We owe Russia nothing. Russia never applied to join Nato. Nato does not invade. You must apply, stay in line and meet the criteria like every other state.

  26.  @joemol1274  Nato does not invade iin order to annex. Russia does. Nobody would iinvade a nuclear power and Putin knows it. He hates Nato because he can not annex as much as he would like to. He wants Ukraine as a part of Russia.

  27.  @munkombwestanley5692  Nato is bs excuse for Putin. Nato would never invade a country with nukes and Putin knows it. He wants Ukraine and if Ukraine had been in Nato, he would have never invaded Ukraine.

  28.  @Maxchama  Poor Putin, poor Russia. They always "feel provoked" to invade and annex somebody else's land. West owes Russia nothing. Putin simply wants Ukraine. Nato is bs excuse.

  29.  @dezzjays9568  Nato would never invade a country with nukes. Russia did invade non Nato Ukraine because it could. Putin wants Ukraine and he hates Nato because he can not invade and annex as much as he would like to.

  30.  @jamesgo2014  Ukraine has no nukes, had no chance to join Nato. American president did not say "Cuba is not a real country" unlike Putin and Ukraine case. Putin wants Ukraine and he could innvade non Nato Ukraine only. Nato is an excuse to justify Putin's greed. He wants to annex Ukraine.

  31. So maybe Russia should stop invading annexing and making mess in Eastern Europe first?

  32. Putin wants to annex Ukraine. West owes Russia nothing.

  33.  @StefanMilosevic-m2v  USA did not want to annex Cuba and American president did not say anything like "Cuba is not a real coutry". Putin wants Ukraine. Nato is an excuse. He could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Ukraine had no nukes, had no chance to join Nato. Nato is at Russia's doorsteps for decades. Poland joined 25 years ago, Lithuania joined 20 years ago, Finland has the biggest land border with Russia. It is not about Nto. It is about Putin's legacy. He wants Ukraine and russian empire back.

  34.  @jakekgope1061  War in Ukraine is not about Nato membership or nukes because Ukraine HAS NONE OF IT. It is about Putin's legacy and Putin's ego. He wants Ukraine and he knew if Ukraine had been in Nato, he would have never invaded it. He wants to annex Ukraine.

  35. Putin wants to annex Ukraine and he blames his victims for calling the police.

  37.  @genadiyrool  Russia was supposed to respect Ukraine's independence according to Budaopest Memorandum signed by Russia in 1994. Russia broke it.

  38. USA did not want to annex Cuba. Putin wants to annex Ukraine and he says "Ukraine is not a ral country". Nato is bs excuse. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have never invaded it.

  39.  @RyzenShanks  Bs small talk is not a promise. One guy had not power to stop other countries from joining Nato. We owe Russia nothing. Russia always needs excuses to invade and annex. nato is not a reason for Putn.It is an excuse. He wants to annex Ukraine.

  40.  @eat_ze_bugs  Who is Russia to decide about other independent country's pact choice? Who gave Russia any right to even think about it? Is there any aper signed that Russia is Eastern Europe's master? Is there any official treaty not to expand that you can show me? Nato is bs excuse for Putin. Putin wants to annex Ukraine and he knew if Ukraine had been n Nato, he woul have never had any chance to annex it. War in Ukraine is not about Nato at Russia's borders because Nato is there for decades. Did Putin wake up yesterday? Why didn''t he invade Poland, Lithuania or Finland? Because he wants Ukraine. Nato is bs excuse. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato.

  41.  @tatyanazhebentyayeva1807  And Austrian painter was "protecting Germans in Chechoslovakia". Excuses, excuses, excuses
    1
  42.  @edward6438  Because Russia still invades its neighbours. Russia is always the same. Dissolving Nato would not turn Russia into a peaceful neighbour. Russia simply has a break and comes back.

  43.  @jakekgope1061  Whataboutism is no justification for Russia's crimes in Ukraine. Do you know main difference? Others have learnt their lesson. Russians never learn, they have a break sometimes, that is all. UK lost its empire and moved on. Russia lost USSR and can not get over it.

  44.  @amanahmad1110  Maybe Russia shoould stop invading and annexing its non Nato neighbours first?

  45. It is Russia which created Putin, not the opposite. Russia is always more or less the same.
    1
  46. Russia never stopped making mess in Eastern Europe. Nato is bs excuse. Russia keeps invading its non Nato neighbours just because it wants to annex their land so Nato exists for a reason. Putin can not annex as much as he wants to.

  47. Nato never promised not to expand east and there is no paper signed that you can show me and who is Russia to demand such a thing?

  48.  @marthajackson1388  Blaming Ukraine for wanting to become Nato member is like blaming a victim for calling the police. Putin wants to annex Ukraine and he could invade non Nato Ukraine only.

  49.  @marthajackson1388  USA did notinvade Cuba and had no wil to annex it. Putin wants to annex Ukraine. Ukraine has no nukes and is not even Natomember. There are all bs excuses for Putn's greed. Putin does not cooonsider Ukraine tobe a separate independent state.

  53. Letting Russia join Nato is like letting abusive husband get into women's shelter. Russia never applied and Putin did not want to stay in line with other countries. Russa always demands special treatment. I am tired of this
