  1. If Russia was a good neighbor, many former Warsaw pact countries would have no need to join Nato in order to be secured and as qucily as possible. Joining Nato is a choice. Russia expands by force and Warsaw pact was the only alliance to invade its own members when they tried to leave soviet "paradise".

  2. Nato did not invade its neighbor, Russia did.

  3. Ukraine is in Europe. If Russia was a good neighbor with no record of making mess in Eastern Europe, there would be no need to join Nato. Putin can invade non Nato country only. He wants Ukraine. He invaded because he could.

  4. If Russia was a good neighbor with no record of making mess in non Nato countries, there would be no need to join Nato in order to be secured. Other country's pacy choice is none of Russia's decission. Russia has never been a friendly neighbor and that is why Eastern European countries joined Nato as qucily as they could. You can not balme them. It would be like blaming a victim for callng the police because she did not want to be hurt anymore. Russia should look in the mirror. Nato is an excuse for Putin, not a reason. Ukraine had no chance to join and Putin invaded anyway. Because he could.

  5.  @slavenaljinovic1162  nobody would let abusive husband to get into women's shelter. Russia should look in the mirror and stop looking for excuses. War in Ukraine is not about Nato. Ukraine is not even Nato member. It is about Putin's legacy. He wants Ukraine and he could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Nobody was going to invade Russia. Russia invades non Nato neighbors so Nato expands. Finland and Sweden joined Nato because Russia invaded non Nato Ukraine. Blaming countries for joining Nato is like blaming a victim for calling the police because she does not want to be hurt.

  6.  @slavenaljinovic1162  Nobody is sorry for Talibs or Milosevic and women of Afghanistan were able to educate themselves for 20 years. Why don't you ask them? Whataboutism is no jiustification for Russia and Nato is not a threat to Russia. Nato is threat for Russia's stupid ideas. Nato expands because Russia keeps making mess in non Nato countries. If Russia had not invaded Ukraine, countries like Finland would have not joined and Nato would have not expanded even more.

  7.  @felixf.3392  Is Russia a super power? No. Is USA a super power? Yes. It still is. So stop comparing Russia to USA al the time because it is funny. Whataboutism is no justification for Russia. USA is a good neighbor unlike Russia and being in the same alliance with USA is a choice while Russia is anything but a good neighbor and Eastern Europe did not ask for Warsaw pact membership. It was made by force. Nobody is sorry for Talibs, Saddam or Assad.

  8. When was the last time Nato invaded a country like Russia? Oh wait...It never happened. When was the last time Russia invaded or made some mess in non Nato country just because it could and wanted to? Oh wait...Russia always needs excuses and feels provoked. It does not matter what others did or did not do. Putin wants Ukraine and he says "Ukrainians are little Russsians". Noto has nothing to do with it. Ukraine is not even Nato country and had no chance to join anyway. Ukraine's pact and political choice is none of Russia's decission. Who does Russia think it is? USSR is gone. Get over it. The point is Russia thinks it owns Ukraine which is wrong. Russia must stop demanding and start respecting its neighbors. Ukraine owes Russia nothing. Russia is not Ukraine's master. Russia is not even super power anymore. Nobody invaded Russia. Russia invaded non Nato country so Nato exists for a reason. It is not about Nato. It is about Putin's ego. He can not stand Ukraine as Western oriented country

  9.  @DanielNotWise  Nobody is sorry for Milosevic and it is still no justification for Russia. Besides Nato is an excuse for Putin. He wants Ukraine and he knew he could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato. Putin invaded anyway. Why? Because he coud and thought it would be easy to overrun.

  10. How many Nato soldiers died in Ukraine? Oh, wait...

  11. Eastern European countries know Russia well and that is why they joined Nato as quicly as they could and who is Russia to tell them they could not? Russia must stop playing the victim card. Russia has always been Eastern Europe's bully.
    2
  12.  @P00009 30 years of no full scale invasion is a great Russia's achievement to you? Russia has been Eastern Europe's bully for about 300 years. Also Russia loves taking all USSR glory and always skips its dark sides. Nobody is sorry for Milosevic. Both Serbia and Russia love playing the victim card while being anything but victims.

  13. Who invaded Ukraine?
    2
  14. They only keep talking about bombing Warsaw, Paris or Berln on russian media every other Monday.
    2
  15. Other country's pact choice is none of Russia's bussines and nobody in right mind trusts Putin. Countries like Poland and Bltic States know Russia well and they owe Russia nothing. Russia always needs excuses. Putin says many things, he often lies. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master and we really do not have to care about russian sensitive feelings. What we do is up to us, not up to Russia.
    2
  16. Because Russia never stopped making mess in non Nato neighborhood so Nato exists for a reason. Disbandig Nato would not turn Russia into a peaceful neighbor. Ukraine is not even in Nato and Putin invaded anyway. Because he could invade non Nato country only.

  17.  @operator9858  russia is chep gas station which did not notice its time of glory is over.
    2
  18. Russia is not a bear. It is a gas station which can no stand USSR is gone and its glory is over. If Russia was a good neighbor, there would be no need to join Nato. Eastern European countries joined Nato because of Russia and they were right to do so. Putin can not invade Nato members . Nato is anot a reason for war in Ukraine. It is an excuse. If Ukraine had bee in Nato, Putin would have never started. He can not face article 5 of Nato.
    2
  19. Russia can invade non Nato neighbor only. Nato would never invade Russia. Nato is an exxcuse for Putin.

  20.  @darkmatter5424  USSR invaded Poland just 17 days after Germany and was Germany's aly till 1941. They held joined victory parade in Poland inn september1939.
    2
  21.  @darkmatter5424  And Russia loves using whataboutism as its justification. There is no justification for Russia. And Nato is simply another excuse for Russia, not a reason.
    2
  22. Russia never stopped making mess in non Nato countries so Nato expands for a reason. If Russia had not invaded Ukraine, Nato would have not expanded with Finland and Sweden. If Russia was a good neighbor, most former Warsaw pact members would have no need to join Nato as qucily as they could. Nato is an excuse for utin. He wants Ukraine. Ukraine is not even Nato member and had no chance to join. Ukraine had no will to join before 2014 so Russia should look in the mirror. Putin invaded Ukraine because he could invade non nato Ukraine only. He has always wanted Ukraine. Nato is not a reason, it is an excuse.
    2
  23. Russia always feels provoked and needs excuses to feed her own ego and greed. Former Warsaw pact members joined Nato as quicly as they could because they knew Russia and were fed up for a reason. Joining Nato is a choice while being USSR puppet and Warsaw pact member was not. Russia has never been a friendly neighbor. If Russia does not like neighbouring countries joining Nato, Russia should stop giving them good reasons to join.
    2
  24.  @P00009  Eastern Europe was againts Warsaw pact membership and did not want to be soviet backyard. Russia never cared about our voice and will so we owe Russia nothing. And Russians are the last one to tell us about fair transparent voting and referendums. Russia has no clue how it works. Nato had no plan to invade Russia. Nobody would invade a country that has such a weapon like Russia while Russia never stopped making mess in non Nato Eastern European countries so Nato exists for a reason. . Eastern Europeans chose their own path and we really do not have to care if Russia liked it or not. Russia is not their master anymore. Russia is not even super power. Putin does not like Nato just like an abusive husband does not like the fact that his wife filed for divorce and called the police. Stop blaming a victim and look in the mirror. Every dictator needs excuses and Putin is no different.
    2
  25. Putin hates Nato just like an abusive husband hates his wife for filing for divorce and caling the police.
    2
  26. Russia never applied to join Nato because Russia herself never wanted to stay in line and meet the criteria like every other country. Russia's economy is Spain's gdp economy so Russia is the last one to talk about succes.
    2
  27. Russia's "concerns" are Russia's paranoia and excuses.
    2
  28.  @Gizziiusa  Russia never stopped making mess in non Nato countries so Nato exists for a reason. Nato is an excuse for Putin. Ukraine is not even Nato member and had no chance to join.Putin simply wants Ukraine back and he could invade non Nato neighbor only.
    2
  29.  @felixf.3392  USSR ig gone but it did not turn Russia into a peaceful neighbor so Nato exists for a reason. Russia is always the same and every Easter European knos it.

  30. First of all. Nato does not annex. Russia does. Second of all. Nato is an excuse for Russia, not a reason. Putin wants Ukraine which is not even Nato country and had no chance to join. Putin invaded because he could and he thought it would be easy. He was wrong. Eastern Euroe is not Russia's backyard and Eastern Euroeans decide on their own. They owe Russia nothing and they have no trust in Russia for a reason. It is called own experience.

  31.  @DanielNotWise  One more thing. My point was a country with nuke.
    2
  32. What you cal "russohobia" countires like Poland and Baltic States cal "being russoexperienced". Nato would never invade a country like Russia which has nuke so who is Russia afraid of? Is Ukrine Nato member? Ukrane had no chance to join. Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants Ukraine and he could invade non Nato Ukraine only. He wants it as a part of Russia. Nato is an excuse. Putin can not face article 5 of Nato and he does not like it.

  33.  @jemerlia  Russia always feels "provoked" and neeeds excuses only. Putin wants Ukraine. Nato is an excuse and Ukraine is not even in Nato.

  34.  @operator9858  Everybody has a plan utill... Putin had a plan to overrurn non Nato Ukraine in 3 days and guess what happened. ..

  35. Russia has always been Eastern Europe's enemy and that is why former Warsaw pact countries joined Nato as quicly as they could. Joining bNato was a choice while being forced to live under soviet boot was not and Warsaw pact was the only alliance to invade its members.

  36. Russia won Pariah State status only.
    1
  37. Russia never stopped making mess in non Nato countries around her so Nato exists for a reason. Disbanding Nato would not turn Russia into a peacefuul neighbor. Everybody is Eastern Europe knows Russia has a break only. Russia always comes back everytime it can and just because it wants to. Russia just proves us right by invading non Nato Ukrine. Joining Nato is the best way to be secured from Russia.Putin invaded Ukraine because he could. He can not face article 5 of Nato. He wants Ukraine.

  38. When did Nato invade Russia? Did I miss something? Joining Nato is a choice while being USSR puppet and Warsaw pact member was not. As for point 3...What is your point here I have no clue.

  39.  @jonathanjacob5453  Stop blaming Poland and Estonia for helping Ukraine. Poland and Estonia did not invade Russia. Russia invaded non Nato Ukraine because it could. Poland is not a threat to Russia. The same for Estonia. Nato membershp is a threat to Russia's aggression. Russian state media keeps threating and keeps lying (for examle "Poland wants Western Ukraine" and other lies). Russia keeps lying. Putin blames Poland everytime he tries to grab Ukraine and fails to do so.

  40.  @P00009  USA is a super power. Russia is a gas station. Get over it and stop using whataboutism because it is no justification for Russia at all.

  41. And Russia is a bully for peaceful Ukraine
    1
  42.  @nedludd7622  There is no paper signed that you can show me so stop lying. BS small talk meants nothing and we owe Russia nothing. If Russia was a good neighbor, many Eastern European countries would have no need to join Nato in order to be secured. Nato stops Russia's greed. Nato is an excuse for Putin. H eknew he could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato anyway. Putin invaded because he could. He has always wanted Ukraine back. It is not about Nato. It is about Putn's ego and legacy.

  43.  @diegoflores9237  Provoking by doing what? Securing Nato memebers from Russia's aggression? Putin invaded non Nato Ukraine because he could so who is the bad one here? Who invaded who? Russia always needs excuses to justify her crimes.

  44. USA is a good neighbor to Canada and does not want to grab Cana's land. American president did not say "Canada is not real". Ukraine had no chance to join Nato. Putin invaded because he wants Ukraine and because he could invade non Nato country only. Nato is an excuse, not a reason. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not even started. Your whatabotism is invalid. Besides, USA is a super power. Russia is not.

  45.  @P00009  russian guys drafted out of russian prison returned to their russian homes and are anything but peaceful to their neighbors. Ukraine is not russian backyard anymore. Get over it.

  46. Who invaded Ukraine, once again?
    1
  47.  @olgadeweger3805  Russia never aplied to join Nato and never had a will to stay in line and meet the criteria like every other country. Nato does not annex. Russia does.

  48.  @Clint-kr8zm  Donbas belongs to Ukraine so how did Ukraine invade herself? Putin has been paying separatists from Donbas. Ukraine had no will to join Nato before 2014 and had no chance to join since 2014 because Nato does not let countries with unsolved border issues to join. Putin invaded Ukraine anyway because he wanted Ukraine back and Nato is jus an excuse. Putin can invade non Nato Ukraine only.

  49.  @yu-djinn  Russia is anything but a super power and Russians are the only once not to understend yet they do not own Eastern Europe anymore. Russia blames her victims for calling the police. Nato is not a reason for Putin. It is an excuse. Putin invaded Ukraine because he has always wanted Ukraine back. He claims "it is not a real country". Nato has nothing to do with it. If Russia was a good neighbor, there would be no need to join Nato. Putin knows he can invade non Nato Ukraine only.
