  1. Why should we, Eastern Euroepans always care about Russia's greed and sensitive feelings while Russia itself never cared for Eastern Europe's freedom and right to decide on our own? I am Polish and I am nobody's backyard, no matter what Putin says. Stop blaming Russia's victims for calling the police. Our agenda matters, our freedom matters, USSR is gone, we joined Nato because we wanted to be secured and we did it because of Russia, not against Russia. Russia always needs excuses to feed its ego. Nato is an excuse. Russia always wants more if it sees your weakness.

  2. I am Polish, we live next to Ukraine and we are free people, we are not Putin's sphere of influence, backyard or ping pong balls. Joinin Nato was a choice while being Warsaw pact member was not.

  3. Joining Nato was something Eastern European countries applied for. Being Warsaw pact memebr and USSR puppet was made by force.

  9. Nato did not invade Russia and would never invade a country with nukes. Putin knows it. He invaded Ukraine because he wants Ukraine back as a part of Russia and he thought it would be easy to invade non Nato neighbour. Also joinng Nato is a choice of every independent state and it is not up to Russia what its neighbours chose for their own country.

  10. There is no paper signed not to expand Nato east that you can show me. This is russian lie. Putin hates Natobecause Nato stops him. He wants Ukraine and he could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Nato never invaded Russia. Russia has nukes. Who does Russia think it is to decide about other independent country's pact choices? Did you ask yoursef why so many countries forced to live under russian/soviet rule joined Nato as qucly as they could? I will give you a clue as a Pole, Russia has never been a friendly neighbour and we were tired of russian crimes on our soil.  @SkyDiver-wd5oj

  11. J. Mearscheimer could not care less about Eastern Europeans, their voice, agenda, freedom and rights in all of this and that is why Russians love him. He is stucked in Cold war era. It is hight time you understood Eastern Europe is not russian backyard anymore.  @SkyDiver-wd5oj

  12. If your country borders Russia, neutrality is pure utopia. It is an invitation for Putin to pay a visit non Nato neighbour did not ask for. Putin does not want Ukraine to become Nato member because he would not be able to annex Ukraine.  @eddievangundy4510

  13. When was the last time Nato invaded a nuclear power? Oh, wait...  @peterfrank6216

  14. Russia can blame itself only for its own poverty and failures. We owe Russia nothing and Eastern Europeans are free people.

  15. Nato would never invade Russia. Russia has nukes. If Russia was a good neighbour, countries like Poland, Lithuania, Finland and now Ukraine would have no need to join Nato in orderto be secured. Those countries joined Nato because of Russia. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master. Russia must stop looking for excuses, stop invading its neighbours. You can not gain respect if you keep invading and annexing your neighbours. Look in the mirror.

  16. Because Russia has nukes unike Russia's Nato neighbours? Russia is simply paranoid and loves playing the victim card whle being a bully. Putin wants Ukraine back. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not even started this war. Do you know Eastern Europe' history? Russia never had anything to offer exept for lackof freedom. That is why they joined Nato. They do not want to have anything in common with Russia anymore for a reason.  @eastafrika728

  18. It is easy to be naive if you have no common border with Russia and if you have no clue about Eastern Europe's history with Russia's aggression. Greetings from Poland. We know Russia better than you ever will.  @francescotrevisan4453

  19. Russia must accept Eastern Europeans are not Russia's slaves, buffer zone or backyard. Russia never stopped making mess in Eastern Europe so Nato exists for a reason. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be to need to join Nato. Somebody else's wrong does ot make Russia's crimes in Ukraine right. USSR is gone, Russia is anything but super power. Get over it and stop invading and annexing your neighbours with every excuse possible.

  20. Russia always want more. and never stops just because it can. Eastern Europeans know Russia best. Nobody listened to their warnings. Russia created Putin, not the opposite.

  21. Molotov Ribbentrop pact was also about agreement between Germany and USSR to split Poland between themselves which they did. For Eastern Europe USSR was anything but liberator. Being Warsaw pact member was not something they asked for.Joining Nato was a choice. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato to be secured.  @DR_1_1

  22. He says "Ukraine is not a real country" or "Ukraiians are litte Russians". He simply wants Ukraine and all the rest are fake excuses.

  23. Russians love pretending being super power while being anything but. It is cheap gas station.

  24. They don't want war to split over Nato countries and they also do not want Russia itself to split into pieces.  @winkus8586

  25. Putin never respected any deal in a long run. Russia always has a break and comes back to grab more. eastern Europeans know it best.

  26. Stop blaming others for helping a victim and stop blaming a victim for defending itself. Eastern Europe is not russian backyard anymore. We owe Russia nothing.

  27. Is Russia a special need baby? Russia uses every excuse to annex Ukraine. Eastern Europeans have been warning for years. Nobody listened.  @piratesofthebarentssea

  28. Eastern Europeans were USSR puppets, they were forced tolive under Moscow's commands and did not ask for it. Joining Nato s a choice while being Warsaw pact member was not. USA does not invade in order to annex. Russia does. Nato does not invade its own members. Warsaw pact did it when countries like Hungary or Chechoslovakia tried to leave that "soviet paradise". Can you see a difference now?

  29. Who cares what Russia wants? Russia is not Ukraine's master. Putin wants to annex Ukraine. He says "Ukraine is ot a real country", he calls Ukrainans "little Russians". @@user-op9ne8hs9c

  30. Nato does not invade in order to annex. Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants Ukraine to be a part of Russia. He does not want Ukraine to exist as a separate state. Ukraine is not Nato member and that is why Putin invaded it. Because he could and he thought it would be easy.,

  31. Russia always needs excuses to ANNEX somebody else's land. Nobody invaded Russia. Putin wants Ukraine and he says "Ukraine s not a real country". West owes Russia nothing. Putin is paranoid. War is about his greed and ego. It does not matter what West did or did not do. Ukraine is not russian backyard. Nobody would invade a country with nukes. Putin hates Nato because he can not invade and annex as much as he would like to. Nato stops him.

  32. Russia is not even super power anymore. Is North Korea a super power just because it has nukes? Russia's gdp is smaller than Italy's gdp. Russians are so proud of their natural resources and still they are poor.  @eddievangundy4510

  33. Eastern Europeans would like a word with you about Russia.

  34. USSR invaded oland just 17 days after Nazi Germany. USSR was Germany's ally till 1941 and for Eastern European countries USSR was anything but liberator. Russia never stopped making mess in Eastern Europe so Nato exists for a reason. Putin could invade non Nato Ukraine only. He wants Ukraine. FOrmer Warsaw pact countries owe Russia nothing. Russia has nukes. Russia does not need buffer zone. Ukrainians are free people, they are not ping pong balls or sphere of influence. Russia is not their master. Putin needs excuses to annex Ukraine. Stop blaming a victim for calling the police. If Russia was a good neighbour with no record of invading Eastern Europe, there would be no need to ask Nato for help. I write it as a Pole.

  35. USA did not want to annex Cuba. Putin wants Ukraine. Nato is simply another excuse for a criminal.  @j.obrien4990

  36. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato. Ukraine has no nukes. Nato never invaded Russia. Nato invaded non Nato Ukraine just because it could. Nato would never invade Russia and Putin knows it. Nato is an excuse. Putin wants Ukraine back.

  37. Putin hates Nato because he wants Ukraine and he knows he can invade nd annex non Nato Ukraine only. Nato would never invade a coutntry with nukes. Putin needs excuses. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Why din't he invade Poland, Lithuania or Finland which has the bggest land border with Russia? Because it is not about Nato. It is about Ukraine. He says "Ukraine is not a real country". Nato has nothing to do with utin's greed and mindset..

  38. And Austrian painter was "protecting Germans in Chechoslovakia". Every dictator needs excuses to invade and annex somebody else's land. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master. Russia keeps annexing just because it wants to and uses every fake excuse it can find.
