  1.  @alexgainsborough4921  nobody forced my country of Poland to join Nato exept for our own terrible experience with Russia. We begged to join in order to be secured and we were right. Stop blaming us for our will to be secured. Russia is not our master. It has always beeen a terrible neighbour. We owe Russia nothing. Our freedom is no less important than Russia's paranoia.

  2. When wll they start Eastern European countries and their agenda, rights and freedom in all of this. It s not soviet backyard anymore.

  3. For Eastern Europe Russia has always been a bully which loves playing liberators while being anything but. Nato did not invade its neighbour in order to annex it. Russia did.

  4. Did Russia let her neighbours to decide on their own? No. Russia still thinks it owns Eastern Europe while Eastern Europeans themselves do not want to have anything in common with Russia for a reason and you can not blame them.
    2
  5. USSR is gone but Russia proved not to change into a peaceful neighbour so Nato exists for a reason. Eastern Europeans are not Russia's slaves nd they decide on their own. Russia is not the one to decide for them anymore.

  6.  @cliffgaither  For my country of Poland it was another years of slavery.

  7.  @ziegle9876  Stop comparing Russia to USA all the time. USA is a super power. Russia is anything but. Eastern Europe is not russian backyard anymore.
    2
  8.  @ziegle9876  Austria does not border dictatorships. Putin wants Ukraine to be "neutral" because for him non Nato Ukraine means "Ukraine easy to overrun". He wants Ukraine. Nato is an excuse.

  9.  @hathawayrose2183  Poles are not russophobic. We are russoexperienced because we live next door. It is called own experience with Russia you will never get. Phobia is irrational fear. If Russia keeps invading neighbours and keeps talking about using nuke every other monday it is not irrational to join Nato in order to be secured.

  10.  @jmik7720  Ukraine is not russian backyard and Ukraine's political path is none of Russia's decission.

  11.  @michaels4255  Who would invade a country with nukes? Putin wants Ukraine and he thought it would be easy to annex non Nato Ukraine.

  12. Russia never cared for Eastern Europe's agenda. We owe Russia nothing. Russia is not a special need country. Russia always feels provoked and needs excuses to feed its ego and grab more of somebody else's land.

  13.  @nikoskn1252  Being russian speaking does not mean beig Russian and Putin wants Ukraine to become a part of Russia. Do you care Ukrainians do not want that for themselves? Can you blame them? Ukrainians had no will to join Nato before 2014. They want now. Did you Ever ask yourself why? Maybe Russia should stop giving them reasons to join? Every Eastern European knows Russia has a break and comes back to grab more. Always . And Russia has nothing to offer. My country joined Nato and we did not have to care about Russia's feelings because Russi never cared for ours. We did not ask for being Warsaw pact member and USSR pupets. We did not. Ukraine's political path is none of Russia's bussines or decission to make

  15.  @nikoskn1252  USA did not try to grab Cuba's land and American president never said anything like "Cubans are just little Americans". Putin wants Ukraine and calls Ukrainians "little Russians". It is not about Nato because Ukraine is not even Nato member and could not join in years to come. Putin blames Ukraine for its will to join Nato just like an abusive husband blames his wife for calling the police. Russia has a long history of making mess in Eastern Europe and me a Pole knows it best. USA is a super power. Russia ia anything but. Nato is an excuse for russian greed. It is about Ukraine and Putin's legacy Why didn't Putin invade Poland, Finland or Lithuania? Because he wants Ukraine. It is not about Nato.

  16.  @nikoskn1252  USSR s gone, Russia is anything but syuuper power. Ukraine is not even Nato memebr and it is not about Nato. Putin wants Ukraine. USA did not try to grab Cuba's land and did not claim that such a country does not exist.

  18. Russia has always been making mess in Eastern Euroe and Eastern Euroeans were fed up for a reason. They owe Russia nothng. They are not Russias slaves anymore. Nato did not invade Russia. utin simply wanst Ukraine and if Ukraine had been in Nato, he would have never been able to annex it. Nato is an excuse.

  19. Nato never hurt Russia. Russia has never been a friendly neighbour.

  20. Exactly, Everybody in Eastern Europe knows it.

  21. Why is there never anyone from Eastern Europe to tell its agenda and oppose all these lies?
    1
  22.  @izzyrov5814  First thing. Russia is not a super power. Second thing to remember Eastern European countries owe Russia nothing. They do not have to care about Russia's sensitive feelings. Russia never cared for theirs.
    1
  23. My country of Poland begged to join Nato because we knew Russia would never change for better. We were right. Our agenda matters. We are not russian backyard and our pact choice is none of Russia's decission. We did not ask for living under russian boot for decades or even centuries. We were forced.

  24.  @Hitchhiker007  Nobody calls North Korea a super power just because it has nukes. Russia's gdp is Italy's gdp Eastern Europe is not sobviet backyard anymore and Eastern Europeans have their own agenda you never care about.
    1
  25.  @Tonik-13  nato is an excuse. Putin hates Nato because he can not invade and annex as much of Ukraine and Eastern Europe as he would like to. It is like blaming a victim for calling the police.
    1
  26.  @dynamike201  West has been treating Russia like a special need baby for years. We owe Russa nothing. Russia loves blaming others for its own failures and poverty instead of looking in the mirror.

  27. Mearsheimer should finnally notice that Russia's Eastern European neighbours have rights and agenda too and their freedom matters.
    1
  28.  @nikita-dh5je  There is no paper signed not to expand Nato east that you can show me and russia is not Eastern Europe's master to decide about it. If russia was a good neighbour, my country of Poland would have no need to apply for Nato membership in order to be safe. We know Russia better than you or JM ever will. Stop blaming a victim for calling the police.

  29. Do you care about Eastern Europeans voice in all of this? Do you have any clue about Eastern Europe's history?
    1
  30. It s like blaming a victim for calling the police because she does not want to be hurt anymore. Nato did not invade its neighbour, Russia did.

  32. He could not care less about Eastern Europeans and their voice

  33. The point is Russia is always te same and simply has a break from time to time. Eastern Europe knows it best

  34. I am sure he is because he could not care less about Eastern Europeans and their freedom. Eastern Europe knows Russia better than John ever wll.

  35. I am Polish I can not stand Mearsheimer. USSR is gone but Russia is always more ore less the same and id not turn into a peacefu neighbour. We as Poland owe Russia nothing, We are not Russia's buffer of backyard. We know russia beter than most of ever will. Russia is not even super power anymore and joining Nato was something we asked for unlike Warsaw pact. You all have no clue about Eastern Europe's history with Russia and you never stopped treated Russia like Eastern Europe's master. We are not Russia's slaves anymore and start respecting our voice and our agenda in all of this. Putin wants Ukraine and he blames Russia's past and present victims for calling the police. Nato never invaded Russia. Rusia has always been making mess in the neighbourhood and invaded on Nato Ukraine just because it could. Putin wants russian empire back. Nato is an excuse for him. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato. Other country's pact choice is none of Russia's decission.

  36.  @ehisgeorge414  Warsaw pact was the only aiance toinvade its own members when they tried to leave that soviet paradise (Chechoslovakia 1968, Hungary 1956). Poles have been fighting on and off to get rid of soviet influence. We did not ask for it. Joining Nato for something whole Poland's poictical spectrum asked for since 1989. USA did not invade us. Russia did many times. We know Russia and we owe Russia nothing. Russia is not a super power and we are not Russia's buffer, backyard or whatever. We did was was the best for us. Putin can invade non Nato Ukraine only. He blames his victims for calling the police. USSR is gone but Russia did not change for better. Russia is what it is and always will be.

  37.  @alexgainsborough4921  You live in a matrix. Poverty, bloody uprisings, lack of freedom, no free media. That is russian and soviet style. Poland did not ask for it.
    1
  38.  @cliffgaither  Russia has nuke so who is Russia afraid of? Nato would never invade a country with nuke and Putin knows it. Russia invaded non Nato country because Putin wants Ukraine as a part of Russia and Russia's "security concerns" is all about Putin's ego, greed and legacy. He wants Ukraine. Nato is an excuse. Nato never hurt Russia. Russia invaded non Nato country because it could and wanted to grab it. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato as both Germany and France did not agree (all members must agre to let you in)

  39. @ It is called own experience with russian aggression. Russia is not a "special need" country.

  40. 27 millions victims were not only Russians. They were also Ukrainians and many others .USSR started WWI side by side Germany and invaded Poland on 1th of september 1939. Both Germany and USSR held joined victory parade in Poland. They were anything but liberators. eastern Europe owes Russia nothing. Russia always needs excuses to feed its ego. Stop living in a matrix. And stop blaming Russia's victims for their will to be secured. Stop lying and spreading nonsense lines.

  41. WWII and 17 of september 1939, sorry for misspelling.

  42. Exactly. They could not care less about Eastern European countries and their agenda in all of this. They still think Russia is Eastern Europe's master and Eastern Europeans have no rights and voice.

  43.  @neutralitystudies  Putin wants Ukraine and he could annex non Nato Ukraine only.
    1
  44. If your country border Russia neutrality it is pure utopia. It is an inviitation for Russia to invade and annex because nobody would help you.
    1
  45. Every Russia's easter europea Nato member neighbour spends more because they know what is at stake. Russi has never had any respect for their agenda
    1
  46.  @cliffgaither  And who is Russia to decide about other country's pacy choice? Eastern Europeans decide on their own because they safety matters.
    1
  47. And that is why Russia occupies 20% of Ukraine and grabbed Crimea 10 years ago?
    1
  48.  @martinoneill5804  USSR is gone, Russia did not change, Russia is always the same and every Eastern European country knows it so Nato exists for a reason.
    1
  49.  @martinoneill5804  Tell it to people of Chechenya, Moldova, Georgia or Ukraine. Tell it to Putin's opponents inside of Russia. Russia has a break. Russia does not change because it has no will or possibility to change. It s Russia and USSR which created Putin, not the opposite. Every Eastern European knows it.
    1
  50.  @martinoneill5804  Why should we always care about Russia's wants, needs demands and excuses while Russia itself never cared for Eastern Europe's freedom, rights and agenda? Putin wants Ukraine and all the rest is an excuse for his greed. It is all about his legacy and ego. It is not so much about Nato. Putin hates Nato because he can not do as much as he would like to. Russia never applied to join Nato because Russia did not want to meet the criteria and stay in line with other countries. I am tired of "understanding Russia" . Why don't you all have the same understanding for Russia's neighbours and their agenda? Letting Russsia into Nato is like letting an abusive husband to get into women's shelter. If Russia does not like Nato countries at its borders Russia should stop giving them reasons to join. Finland joined because Russia invaded Ukraine so whose fault is that? Former Warsaw pact members joined because they did not want to be russian backyard anymore and you can not blame them. Eastern Europeans suffered enough from Russia and USSR.

  51. Russia should stop invading her neighbours.
    1
  52. My country joined Nato in 1999 because we knew ussia would not change. Russia simly has a break sometimes and needs time to rearm itself but Russia wll never be a friendly neighbour. We owe Russia nothing. Russia is not our master. We are not Russia's puppets, backyard or buffer. We are free country and we do what is the best for our safety. Stop blamng Russia's victims for their will to be safe.

  53.  @hathawayrose2183  Read again what I wrote. We know Russa better than you ever will.

  54.  @hathawayrose2183  Nothing good ever comes from east.

  55. Russia needs to stop making mess in the neighbourhood first. Russia is always more or less the same.
    1
  56.  @princejohn-su5yr  I coud not care less about Russia's sensitive feelings because Russia never cared for ours. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to demand anything. Russia is paranoid and Russia needs excuses, not a reason. Nato is an excuse for russian greed. Russia is not a super power anymore and USSR is gone. Eastern Europe owes Russia nothing. They moved on and left Russia behind for a reason. It is Russia which has a long record of making mess in Eastern European countries, not the opposite. Putin hates Nato because Nato stops his sick ideas.
    1
  57.  @princejohn-su5yr  Russia's security concerns are Russia's excuses to invade other countries. If Russia was a good neighbor there would be no need to join Nato so Russia must look i the mirror. Eastern European countries have their own agenda and concerns and that is exactly why they joned Nato as qucily as they could. Nato never invaded Russia. Russia has a long record of hurting her neighbors.

  58. Dissolving Nato would not turn Russia into a friendly neighbour. Rusia has never been friendly to Eastern Europe
    1
  59.  @andrewwilgress4100  Russia always acts as if we owed Russia somethig. Russia can not demand any respect if Russia invades its nieghbours and never had anything good to offer. Eastern Europe did not ask for lack of freedom, poverty caused by Russia/USSR/Russia. Who does Russia think it is?
    1
  60.  @andrewwilgress4100  Bullies can non demand any respect.

  61.  @RobloxGOD-900  russia's greed and Putin's ego is to blame
    1
  62.  @carolberry2239  Russia proves to be a bad neighbour every 10 years on average and Eastern Euroepans were fed up for a reason. They decide on their own and they owe Russia nothing. It is like blaming a vicitm for calling the police.

  63.  @vaughnwarren8446  turn rt chanel off.
    1
  64.  @carolberry2239  Russia never stopped doing mess in Eastern Europe. Paying separatists in countries like Ukraine and Moldova, hybrid attacks, hurting Putin's opponenst inside and outside of Russia, fake referendums established in order to grab more land and so on. Russia has a break sometimes and that is all and Russians have no will to be a friendly neighbour. They think we owe them something and act as if they were Eastern Europe's master.
