Comments by "Frida Kahlo" (@Blanka1100) on "Did NATO promise Russia never to expand to the east? | DW News" video.

  1.  @simonh6371  There was no written agreement signed by Nato not to expand. Eastern Europeans joined Nato because they wanted and it was up to them, no up to Russia.Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard and they did not have to ask Russia for its permission..
    82
  2.  @adbogo  Stop spreading bs. Somebody told something t someone behnd the scene and you call it "promise" or "agreement"? Nato owes Russia nothinng. Russia has nothiing to say when it comes to independent country's pact choices. Russia is not the master of Eastern Europe.
    52
  3. Nato did not attack Russia/USSR. Russia has a long history of invading its neighbour what you can see today as well.
    27
  4.  @petrufrenc576  Every Nato member must agree. However, Russia has still nothing to say when it comes to Ukraine's pact choices. Russia does not own Ukraine. Soviet era is over. War in Ukrane is not about Nato. Nato is an excuse for Putin to justify his sick idea to annex Ukraine. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. Putin does not consider Ukraine to be real state. It is about his ego. It is not about Nato. Not at all. utin hates Nato because he can not invade and annex Nato member neighbours.

  5.  @falcon55551  My late grandma cried with a tears of joy when Poland joined Nato in 1999. She knew Russia better than people in Western Europe ever will.
    21
  6.  @99Boiko  And why should Russia has anything to say on that matter? Why do you think Russia and its imperialism and greed is more important than Poland's safety? Russia does not own Poland or any other neighbour. Start respecting Eastern Europeans, their agenda, will to be secured. Their security concerns are real while russian security concerns are paranoid excuses to justify russian crimes in the neighbourhood.
    14
  7. Exactly. Simle as that. It's not Russia's backyard anymore. Joining Nato is a free will of every country. It's Russia who has long history of invading its neighbours or at least tell them what they can or can not to and keep talking BS about "russian safety concerns". What about Eastern Europe's concerns and right to decide about their future.
    13
  8. Exactly. We should all stop thinking what Russia wanted and start respecting Easter Europe's will. We should stop acting as if their will did not matter. It did. Nobody forced them to join Nato. They wanted to join, they were sick and tired of Russia for a reason.
    13
  9. Spot on. Joining Nato was a choice while being Russia's neighbour and Warsaw pact member never was.
    12
  10.  @waynegabler6570  Russia took Crimea and was making mess in Donbas. Are you suprised Ukrainians were not happy? Stop invading your neighbours. Simple as that. Ukraine is not your backyard.
    10
  11.  @vob8509  So much bs, lack of kowledge and ignorance in one ost. My country voted to be a part of EU and my late grandma was crying with tears of joy when we joined Nato for a reason. Russia had nothing to over over the centuries exept for lack of independence geocine and poverty. We did not ask to be allied with Russia. It was always made by force.
    9
  12.  @alicaljungberg3742  Poland is an independent state. It's not Russia's backyard. Era of spheres of infuance is over. Poland's pact choice is up to Polish people not up to Russia. Joining Nato is a volutary thing. Being Russia's neighbour is not. Something Western Europeans have no clue about. We are not ping pong balls. We are free Europeans just like people in the West.
    9
  13.  @kynchan3332  remaining neutral means "Putin, feel free to invade and annex our land". If your country borders Russia neutrality is pure utopia and stupidy. Russia is cheap gas station with Kalifornia's gdp and can not do much without western technology. Russia became Pariah state.
    9
  14.  @jannmutube  People of Ukraine are free. They re not Russia's slaves or a buffer zone. Nato s an excuse for Putin to annex Ukraine.This was s about utin's ego. The rest is an excuse.
    8
  15.  @99Boiko  Keep living in your matrix if that makes you feel better, Ivan.
    7
  16.  @kynchan3332  It is Russia which keeps invading and annexing its neighbours, not the opposite.Russia simpy has never had any respect for its neighbours and their political or pact choices. All of this is up to them, not up to Russia. Putin wants Ukraine. It was never about Nato. Stop playing the humanitarian one here.
    7
  17.  @hartonolee  It is not about nukes or Ukraine's Nato membership because Ukraine has none of it. Putin simply wants Ukraine. He does not want Ukraine to exist. USA did not annex Cuba. Besides, why do you think Russia's security is more important than Russia's neighbours security? Russia's concerns are in fact Putin's paranoia and excuses to annex his neighbour. Nato never invaded Russia while Russia has never had any resect for is neighbours and Eastern Eurpe's history with Russia's crimes proves me right.
    6
  18.  @rob5197  Eastern Europe is more than happy to be USA ally after all they have been through under russian boot over the centuries. Joining Nato was a choice while being Warsaw pact country and Russia's neighbour never was.
    6
  19.  @alanklm  Did you ask yourself why so many former Warsaw pact countries turned their bak on Russia and joined Nato? It's not because Russia was so friendly.
    6
  20. Russia promised not to attack Ukraine but it did. Also Russia broke Budapest 1994 deal. Eastern Europe is not "shere of influance", it's not Putin's backyard. He has no right to tell independent countries which pact they can or can not join It's up to them, not up to Rusiia.
    6
  21. It did not explain why so many former Warsaw pact countries joined Nato as quicly as they could. They have bad experience with Russia and they did not have to ask Russia for its permission. Russia has never had any respect for its smaller neighbours. Russia simply loves invadng and annexing.
    5
  22. @GN28 Nato bombing Belgrade was a right decision. Thank Milosevic and his sick ideas. Afghanistan and Iraq? World is a better place without Saddam and Osama. Women of Afghanistan were at least able to go to school for 20 years.
    5
  23.  @kynchan3332  Russia is anything but strong. USSR is gone and Putin can not stand Russia does not own Easter Europpe anymore. Joining Nato was not made by force while being Warsaw pact country was not a choice and being Russia's neighbour is a bad luck.
    5
  24.  @robbas_krk1510  Poland was first post communist to have free election. It was in June 1989 while The fall of Berlin Wall took place in November.
    5
  25. Americans did not create this fear. Nothing forced my country to join Nato decades ago exept for our own experience with Russia overthe centuries. Centuries of lack of freedom, geocine, poverty, hunger and rapes committed bu Russia. We knew Russia would never change. USSR is gone but russia still thinks it is Eastern europe's master. It is not. Joining Nato is not made by force. Being Warsaw pact member was ot something we asked for. War in Ukraine was never about Nato expansion. Russia simply loves annexing and it has always been like that. Nato is an excuse for Putin.
    4
  26. Russia had no right to decide about indeendent states pact choices and future above its heads.
    4
  27. Stop your whataboutism. Russia has always been invading and annexing its neighbours. It was never about Nato or nukes. Putin wants Ukraine. He does not consider Ukraine to be a real state. He does not want Ukraine to exist. Nato exansion is an excuse to justify Putin's sick idea to invade and annex his neighbour.That is all Russia ever does. Keeps annexing because it can. All the rest is bs excuse Nato is at Russia's borders for decades and Nato never invaded Russia while Russia keeps invading its non Nato neighbours. It is about Putin's ego and sick legacy.
    4
  28. Exactly. Western Europe should stop talking about Eastern Europe like we had nothing to say here being just russian ing ong ball. We warned west about Putin and heard we were "oversensitive". It was our free will to join Nato. Being Russia's neighbour is not a choice.
    4
  29.  @ben5056  Never trust a man who is in power for over 20 years and kills his political opponents.
    4
  30.  @leight420  Russia broke every written agreement it signed so who is Russia to complain about some bs small talk Who is Russia to decide about other country's pact choise? Russia has nothing to say. It is not Eastern Europe's master.
    4
  31.  @hartonolee  And one last thig If you care about Ukrainian people dying, tell Putin to takehs toys out of Ukraine and stop blaming a victim for defending itself. Talking to a criminal like Putin is a waste of time. Power is the only language he cares about.
    3
  32. Nobody cares what cheap gas station which Kalifornia's gdp wants anymore. USSR is gone and Eastern Europe moved on long time ago
    3
  33.  @Xtremedia01  Nato expansion is an excuse. If Baltic States had not been a part of Nato, Putin would have inveded them as well. Putin wants Ukraine. He knows he can not invade Nato members. Baltic States did not ask for being a part of former USSR. It was made by forrce. Many former Warsaw pact countries do not want to have aything in common with Russia for a reason. Russia loves annexing its smaller neighbours and invading them just becaue it can. It is not about Nato It is about russian greed and Putin's sick legacy and huge ego. All the rest is bs excuse to justify a crime.
    3
  34. And pro russian people must realize eastern Europeans have something to say and they are not Russia's puppets or a buffer zone. Their safety concerns do matter as well and they decide on their own.
    3
  35. Do you know what is Russia's problem? Claiming that everything that used to be soviet or russian at any point in history belongs to Russia and Russia is justified to get it back. This is bs. Ukraine is not soviet backyard anymore. It is an independent state. Nato did not invade Ukraine or Russia. Russia did invade Ukraine.
    3
  36. Did anyone invade Russia? No. On the other hand, it is Russia which loves invading and annexing its neighbours just because it can and want to so Nato exists for a reason. Russia is not a super power. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master. Putin wants Ukraine and he knows he can invade non Nato neighbours only. Stop blaming Russia's past and current victim for calling the police. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Did Putin wake up yesterday? It is not about Nato. It is about Putin's ego only. He says Ukraine is not a real country. He wants Ukraine to be a part of Russia. Nato is bs excuse. If Russia was a good neighbour, many former Warsaw pact members would have no need to join Nato in order to be secured.
    3
  37.  @tonymirarchi  Putin keeps invading neighbors and then he keeps asking "Why oh why do they all want to join Nato?". What a "genius"
    3
  38. Nato never promised anything and there is no paper, no treaty signed that you can show me. And who is Russia to decide about other country's pact choice? Eastern Europe owes Russia nothing. Russia is not their master. Putin needs excuses, not a reason. Ukraine had no chance to join. Putin invaded non Nato neighbor because he could and wanted to.
    3
  39. Because they know Russia better than others ever will, they knew Russia would never turn into a peaceful neighbor and they were right. It is called ow experience. Nato is not a reason for Putin. It is an excuse. Putin wants Ukraine and he could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Russia has never had any respect for Eastern Europeans and their agenda. Eastern Europe is not russian backyard anymore. Eastern Europe owes Russia nothing.
    3
  40. @ Did you ask peole from Poland or Lithuania why oh why they joined Nato? I will give you a clue. It is called own experience with russian aggression. They knew Russia would not change into a peaceful neighbor and had a break only. They were right.
    3
  41. There is no paper signed that you can show me so stop lying.
    3
  42.  @Voltaicz  Blame Milosevic. Serbia and Russia have something in common here.
    3
  43.  @Pekka.Pekka.1296  Eastern Europe's bad experience with criminal and imperialistic state of Russia is much deeper and older than 40 years old. It is ssometimes about 300 old experience of geocine, rapes, hunger, poverty and regime Eastern Europeans did not ask for.
    3
  44.  @charmelen2  It was not a coup and Ukraine's political choices are up to people of Ukraine, not up to Russia.
    3
  45.  @bobbiejay2085  You can not remain neutral while being attacked by Russia on and off angain. Don't be naive.
    3
  46. Does anyone care about Eastern European countries and why they decided to join Nato? They know Russia and hate Russia for a reason so you can not blame them for looking for protection. Who does Russia think it is to tell them what they can or can not do? It is not Russia's backyard, not Russia's buffer zone, they are free to decide on their own.
    3
  47. Exactly and what a shame so many people still treat Russia like a special need baby.
    3
  48. If Russia was a good neighbor, there would be no need to join Nato to be secured. Nato never invaded Russia but Russia loves invading its neighbors. Eastern Europeans are free, they are not Russia's backyard or a buffer zone. Their pact choices s up to them, not up to Putin. We are done with Putin's wants and paranoia. Putin has no right to tell Eastern Europeans what they can or can not do. Era of spheres of influence is over and Russia has nothing to say. USSR is long time gone. Russia is poor pathetic state and anything but super power.
    2
  49. And then you woke up, Ivan. We owe Russia nothing.
    2
  50. You cant's be Russia's neighbour and stay neutral. Russia has a long history of keeping its neighbours under guns. You have no idea about this part of Europe and propably you are living far away. Stop being ignorant. I am Polish I know what I am talking about.
    2
  51.  @devonvankasteren9522  One more think. You have no idea what it's like to be forced to be USSR satelite/slave country for 50 years. It's easy to spread BC posts all over internet living far away from Russia.
    2
  52. Russia should stop blaming everybody around them for its own failures and weakness.
    2
  53. Right exept for one thing. Nato never promised Russia not to expand east . Nato owes Russia nothing and Russia's neighbours decide on their own about their pact choices because Russia is not their master and they are free people.
    2
  54. Amen
    2
  55. Did anyone invade Russia? No. It s all about Putin's paranoia and excuses to invade and annex Ukraine. Ukraine is not a Nato member and has no nukes but Putin needs excuses.
    2
  56.  @domi4587  Bs small talk behind the scene is not written agreement. Besides Russia is neither super power nor a special need baby to demand anything
    2
  57. It's not that difficult to understand Russia had no right to decide about other countries pact choices either. It was up to those independent countries.
    2
  58. And who does Russia think it is to demand such a thing in the first place? Eastern Europeans are free people, they are not Russia's slaves. Their pact choice is up to them.
    2
  59. As if Putin ever cared for talks. Power is the only language Putin cares about. Nato is n excuse for Putin. He knows he can not invade and annex Nato member neighbours. He wants Ukraine. He des not consider Ukrainians to be real nation. It is all about Putin's huge ego. Nato is an excuse. Eastern Europeans are free people, they did not have no ask Russia for its permission. Their bad experience with Russia is more than enough to join Nato
    2
  60. Nato expansion is an excuse for Putin.
    2
  61. It is Russia expanding west by invading its western neighbour. Nato is an excuse for Putin to invade and annex Ukraine. It was never really about Nato expansion.
    2
  62. Nobody needs dicatorship country and a special need baby inside of Nato. Russia did not want to be a member like every other. Russia is cheap gas station and has nothing to say anymore.
    2
  63.  @MinisterDorado  Go and educate yourself but I will give you a clue. Don't use RT chanel for it.
    2
  64. There is no paper signed, no writte treaty signed and Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to decide about its pact choices. Russia needs excuses. Ukraine is not even Nato country and had no chance to join. Putin wants Ukraine as a part of russian empire back. It is about Putin's ego. not so much about Nato itself. He can noot invade Nato members and he is perfectly aware that if Ukraine had been in Nato, he would have never been able to overrun Ukraine.
    2
  65. Russian thinks only Russia has rights in Eastern Europe and Putin loves invading non Nato neighbours. Most Russians still do not understand USSR is gone and Russia today is anything but super power.
    2
  66. Nothing. Nato expansion is only another excuse for another russian leader to invade and annex his neighbour. It has always been the same. Russia is what it is. It was never about nukes or Ukraine's Nato membership because Ukraine has none of it. I am tired of russian whataboutism. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. All the rest is bs excuse.
    2
  67. Russia keeps invading its neighbours so Nato exists for a reason. Putin can not invade Nato member neighbour. Russia should stop invading and annexing its neighbours.
    2
  68. Somethin many Western Europeans still don't get. Joining Nato was our choice. Being Russia's neighbour is not a choice. We were free to decide. It was not Russia to decide about us above our head. We are not ping pong balls. Era of spheres of infuance is over. It's not Putin's backyard anymore. We have something to say too.
    2
  69.  @RileyForrest-j4l  Russia never applied to join Nato. Stop spreading bs.
    2
  70. If Russia was a good neighbor, there would be no need to join Nato. If Russia does not like Nato at her borders, Russia should stop giving her neighbors good reasons to join. Russia will never turn into a peaceful neighbor. They dont know what it means.
    2
  71. Nobody cares what Russia wants. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Eastern Europeans are free peole and their pact choices are up to them, not up to Putin. USSR is gone, it's not Russia's backyard anymore. What matters the most is Eastern Europeans and their will, their voice.
    2
  72. This is simply another bs excuse for Putin in front of his own people.
    2
  73. Wst must also understand Eastern European people's future is up to them and not Putin's backyard. Stop talking about Eastern Europe like it's a ping pong ball.
    2
  74.  @mihirojha4475  Russia keeps invading to annex while nobody in right mind should be sorry for Saddam or Osama and USA did not annex. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. It is a geocine.
    2
  75.  @Lukyan  My country's own experience with Russia is more than enough to know more than you ever will.
    2
  76.  @Lukyan  Sorry. I misundersood your post.
    2
  77.  @AAB463  Eastern Europeans have been fighting for its freedom for years. Stop pretending Russia's leaders were the humanitarian one.
    2
  78. Putin does not like Nato because Nato stops his greed. He can not invade Nato member neighbors and he knows it. If Russia does not like Nato at russian borders, Russia should stop giving her neighbors good reasons to join. Eastern Europeans knew Russia would come back one day. Russia proved them right. Russia does not own Eastern Euroe and Eastern Europeans have ther own security concerns. Russia will never change for better.
    2
  79.  @xxoo-lp6vc  And we see Russia as world's biggest cancer and the only one to blame. Russia has a long history af invading its neighbours.
    2
  80.  @marioanid4766  To get under Russia's influance? No, thank you. My country has been there already. Never again.
    2
  81.  @kevlee2753  Joining Nato is a choice. It was not made by force. Nobody forced my country to join Nato. We did it with free will. We are free country, not a ping pong ball or Russia's backyard.
    2
  82. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Poland joined in 1999, Lithuania in 2004. Nato is an excuse for Putin. Putin wants Ukraine. He wants to annex Ukraine and does not want Ukrainian language and culture to exist. All the rest is bs excuse. Russia needs excuses. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato to be secured. It is Russia which a has a long record of invading its neighbours and hurting them, not the opposite. Russia has no right to demand any special treatment.
    2
  83. There is no paper signed that you can show me, stop lying and Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to demand anything. Countries like Poland or Baltic States owe Russia nothing.
    2
  84. Russia never applied and Putin did not want to meet the criteria.
    2
  85. Nato never promised not to expand either. There was no written agreement and Russia had no right to decide about other country's pact choices. Nato is an excuse for Putin. He wants to annex Ukraine. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it.
    2
  86.  @ralphbernhard1757  Nothing forced Russia's neighbour to join Nato exept for years of lack of freedom, poverty, wars and hunger committed by Russia. My late granda was crying with tears of joy when our cuntry joined. She knew Russia and did not ask for it. Joining Nato was not made by force. Being USSR slave for decades and Warsaw pact member was. Russia simply can not stand it has nothing to say anymore.
    2
  87.  @benjaminhenderson5025  Do you try to tell me calling the politce in order not to be hurt anymore is "lack of independence"? Were Warsaw pact members independent? Russia did not mind back then. I wonder why...
    2
  88. These are independent states and their pact choices is none of Russia's bussines. Why do we have to care what Russia wants? Is Russia a master of Eastern Europe? No. Russia has no red lines and Putin simply needs excuses to justify his greed.Russia is invading and annexing its neighbours so who is provocing? Stop justifying crimnal state of Russia.
    2
  89. If Russia was a good neighbour with no history of invading them, they would have no desire to join Nato in the first place.
    2
  90. Russia broke Budaest 1994 deal by not respecting Ukraine's sovereignty
    2
  91. Russia had no right to decide about independent countries pact choices. It was up to them. Being Nato member it's a choice. Being Russia's neighbour is not.
    2
  92. There was no agreement in the first place and even if there was...It's not Russia to decide about other countries pact choices.
    2
  93. And they you woke up, Ivan.
    2
  94.  @dexterlove6555  I am not American, Ivan.
    2
  95. Russia was supposed to respect Ukraine's independence and borders according to Budapest Memorandum signed by Russi in 1994.
    2
  96. Even if there was...Russia had no right to decide about other countries above their heads.
    2
  97. Russia always feels provoked and needs excuses no matter what others did or did not do. Ukraine is not russian backyard. Deal with it. USA is a super power. Russia is not.
    2
  98. First of all. Joining Nato was up to those independent countries. My country, Russia's and Ukraine's neighbour, does not give a damn about Russia's concerns. We are not Russia's backyard. Russia has nothing to say when it comes to our pact choices. Russia is not our daddy to tell us what we can or can not do.
    2
  99. No. Russia uses Nato expansion as bs excuse for its never ending greed. Russia has always been invading and annexing its smaller neighbours just because it could. Nato is not a reason. It is an excuse for Putin's sick legacy and huge ego. War in Ukraine was never about Nato. Putin wants Ukraine.
    2
  100. Russia always needs excuses to annex somebody else's land. Russia is not a special need country and we owe Russa nothing. Eastern Europe s not soviet backyard anymore and they do not have to care about Russia's permission or sensitive feelings. All they want is to be secured from Russia's crimnal behaviour.
    2
  101. Nato owes Russia nothing and never promised anything. Eastern Europe is not Russia's backyard. Deal with it.
    2
  102. It is about Russia which can not stand Ukraine is an independent state and Russia is not Eastern Europe's master anymore because USSR is gone.
    2
  103. Nobody would let abusive husband to get into women's shelter. Russia does not want to meet the criteria. Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants Ukraine. Nato is just an excuse.
    2
  104. This is bs. Stop looking for exuses for Putin's sick idea to annex Ukraine.. Nato expansion is an excuse.
    2
  105.  @mayorofrlyeh8042  Putin needs excuses. Nato is an excuse to justify Putin's sick idea to invade ans annex Ukraine.
    2
  106.  @dvb8637  There are no Nato troos in Ukraine but keep believing your state media if that makes you feel better. Little % of weapon delivery is not Nato versus Russia by any mean. Russia achieved nothig exept for Pariah State status.
    2
  107. Russia must stay out of Ukraine. Ukraine is not russian backyard.
    2
  108. USA did not want to annex Cuba and never claimed "it is not a real country" unlike Putin claims about Ukraine. Ukraine is not even Nato member and had no will to join before 2014. It had no chance to join after 2014 either. Putin invaded because he could and wanted to. It is not about Nato. It is about Putin's legacy. He wants Ukraine.
    2
  109.  @fingerprint8479  Did anyone invade Russia? It is Russia which invaded non Nato country just because Russia wanted to. Guess what? Eastern European countries want to be secured and that is why they turned their back on Russia and run to Nato as quicly as they could. They did not ask for Wasraw pact membership. Joining nato was not made by force. They asked for it. Eastern Europe is fed up. They owe Russia nothing.
    2
  110.  @fingerprint8479  That comedian turned Putin into a joke and the whole world could see it.
    2
  111.  @fingerprint8479  Are you talking about Vladimir "I will not invade Ukraine" Putin? Bs small talk is bs small talk and I will ask you once again Is Putin the master of Eastern Europe to demand anything from anybody? Other country's pact choice is none of Russia bussines or decission. Hard to swallow?
    2
  112.  @fingerprint8479 Putin said he would not invade Ukraine but he did. Words are cheap.
    2
  113.  @fingerprint8479  Poor bully was provoked. Every bully blames his victims and claims "you made me do this". Russia blames her past and current victims for their will to be safe and secured. It isso funny.
    2
  114.  @fingerprint8479  So Putin wanted Eastern Europe to become powerless, easier to invade and USA did not agree to hurt its alllies. Poor bully Vlad was disappointed.
    2
  115.  @fingerprint8479  Eastern Europe will not become powerless just because Putin demands it. These are free countries, free people, not a buffer zone. Putin can make buffer zones out of russian territory. He is not the one to decide about Eastern Europe's military.
    2
  116.  @fingerprint8479  And verbal small talk is not official written treaty so nobody cares about Russia's complaints.
    2
  117. Russia must stop invading and annexing its neighbours in the name of Putin's ego in the first place. Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard anymore. Deal with it. Nobody invaded Russia. Putin invaded Ukraine to annex it. He wants Ukraine. Ukraine is an independent state.
    2
  118. USA did not annex Cuba. Putin wants to annex Ukraine. Ukraine has no nukes and is not even Nato member state.
    2
  119. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to demand anything. We owe Russia nothing.
    2
  120. Bs small talk behidn the scene means nothing and Does anybody care what Eastern Europeans wanted in all of this? It is high time everyone stopped treating Russia like Eastern Europe's master. It was none of Russia's bussines what other independent countries did.
    2
  121.  @miroslavsirakov8780  Nice try, dude but guess what? We did not care because it was not up to Russia, It was up to us. The only written agreement you should care about was Budapest Memorandum signed by Russia in 1994. Russia was supposed to respect Ukraine's independence and borders. Cheap gas station of Russia has no right to decide about independent country's pact choices or treat it as its buffer zone. Deal with it. Eastern Europe is ot russia's backyard
    2
  122. And why should we care about Russia's never ending paranoia and excuses? War in Ukraine is abou Putin's ego and greed. Nato is bs excuse Ukraine is not soviet backyard and Russia has nothing to say. Russia is cheap gas sation only, not a super power anymore. Putin wants Ukraine. All the rest is bs excuse.  @markarmage3776 
    2
  123. Did USA invade Iraq to annex it? No. Russia does invade to annex its neighbour's land. This is what Russia ever does.  @markarmage3776 
    2
  124. USA did not annex Cuba and Ukraine has no nukes. Putin needs bs excuses to justify his crimes.
    2
  125. Bs. Russia has always been invading and annexing its neighbours.
    2
  126. Countries ask and appy to join Nato. It's not made by force. Being Russia's puppet state is made by force. Why shouls we always care what Russia wants? How about Ukraine's wans and needs?
    2
  127. Did you ask yourself why so many former Warsaw pact countries turned their back on Russia and joined or want to join Nato? It's not because Russia is so friendly neighbor. Nato never invaded Russia, it's always Russia which keeps invading its neighbors.
    2
  128. Nato expansion it's a free will, it's not made by force. It Russia was a good neighbour with no record of invading its neighbours there would be no need to join Nato.
    2
  129.  @cavaradossi7761  War in Ukraine as never really about Ukraine's Natomembershp. Ukraine has no nukes and is no Nato member. Putin simply wants to annex Ukraine and he needed an excuse to justify his crimes. He does not consider Ukraine to be a real state.
    2
  130.  @AhmadMuath-xn2es  Yes. You simply has no clue about Eastern Europe's history with russian aggression. I live here. It is Russia which loves invading and annexing our lands so we joined Nato to be secured, not the opposite. Russia is not our master. USSR is gone and Russia can not stand its time of gliry is over. utin calls Ukrainians "little Russians". War in Ukraine was never about Nato. It was about Putin's ego and paranoia. Nato is bs excuse to justify Putin's greed.
    2
  131. There is no paper signed that you can show me and bs small talk behind the scene means nothing. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to decide about its pact choices. Russia is cheap gas station which can not stand USSR and its glory is gone. West owes Russia nothing and Russia's neighbours decide on their own. They are not soviet slaves anymore. Deal with it. Nato is bs excuse. Russia simply needs excuses to invade and annex its neighbour's land.
    2
  132. Nato expansion is simply bs excuse for Putin. Nato owes Russia nothing. Putin simply can not invade Nato member neighbours so he hates Nato. It is all about his greed and huge ego.
    2
  133. Even if it was...It's not Russia to decide about Eastern Europe above it head anymore. It's up to those countries.
    2
  134. Putin can not stand he can not have a uppet like Yanukovich in Ukraine. Ukraine is an independent state and Putin hates he can not own Ukraine.
    2
  135.  @fokthewef  putin cries because he failed and he already knows it.
    2
  136. EU is about economy, Nato is about being secured If Russia was a good neighbor there would be no need to join Nato. I's a choice, it's not made by force. Eastern Europeans hate Russia because they know Russia and are sick and tired of Russia's crimes on their soil.
    2
  137. There was no written agreement in the first place and bs small talk behind the scene means nothing. Russia has no damn right to decide about other country's pact choices. Nato expansion is not a reason for Putn to invade Ukraine. It is an excuse to justify Putin's greed. Putin wants Ukraine and blames his victims for asking for help
    2
  138. It is a fact that Nato expansion is bs excuse for Putin. Joining Nato is a choice. It is not made by force. Countries ask for it with their own free will. Russia invades to annex. Nato does not. Putin wants Ukraine. It was never about Nato. Russia is not a special need baby to demand anything. It is about Putin's ego. He can invade non Nato neighbours only.
    2
  139. Is there any paper signed that you can show me? NO. So stop sreading bs. Small talk behind the scene is not an agreement. And who is Russia to decide about other country's pact choices? Russia is neither super power nor a special need baby to demand anything. Nato expasnion is an excuse for Putin.
    2
  140.  @zStqrio  There was no written agreement not to expand east and Russia has nothing to say when it comes to other country's pact choices. Russia is not a super power to deman anything.
    2
  141. Exactly. Besides Nato expansion is not a reason for Putin to invade Ukraine. It is an excuse to justify Putin's sick idea to annex Ukraine. He wants Ukraine and he could invade non Nato neighbours only.
    2
  142. Russia does not own Eastern Europe and they do not have to ask Russia for its permission on any issue. Russia is a criminal state which should look in the mirror and stop pretendingg super power because it is anything but.
    2
  143. Whatever. Nato east expansion is only bs excuse for Putin to annex Ukraine. He wants Ukraine. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it. All he can do is to invade non Nato neighbours. He blames his victims for calling the police.
    2
  144. Ukraine's political and path choices is none of Russia's bussines. USSR is long time gone and Ukraine is not soviet backyard anymore, deal with it. Nato is bs excuse for Putin. He wants Ukraine and needs every bs to justify his own greed
    2
  145. There was no such promise in the first place. Just bs small talk behind the scene. Besides, Russia is not a special need baby to demand anything.
    2
  146.  @jacky-ob4nd  Trolls still have internet in Russia?
    2
  147. Russia never applied to join. Nato expansio is an excuse for Putin. Putin could invade non Nato neighbor only.
    2
  148. Other country's pact choice is none of Russia's decission. Is it so hard to swallow? None of our problem.
    2
  149. Do you try to tell me Eastern Europeans have no rights and should bow to Russia everytime Russia demands anything? Good joke.
    2
  150.  @sanjuujosephh  Russia is a messed up country itself.
    2
  151. Putin wants Ukraine so War in Ukraine is to annex Ukraine and Finland with its biggest land border with Russia proves Nato expansion is only another excuse for Putin. Putin hates Nato because he knows If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not been able to annex it.
    2
  152.  @RP-vi7my  Cuba? Who cares Cuba these days? Russia was weak so Russia lost. Simple as that.
    2
  153. Exactly. It makes me mad when people ignore Eastern Europeans, their voice, will, agenda and experience with Russia in all of this. We are free people. We are not soviet backyard anymore. Why should we always care what Russia wants? Nato is an excuse for Putin.
    2
  154. Putin can not even deal with his own inside mess. He knows he is too weak to invade Nato member state and face article 5 of Nato.
    2
  155. Russian trolls have no internet. Russia become North Korea
    2
  156. USSR is gone. Russia did not turn into a peaceful neighbor so Nato exsts for a reason. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to demand anything.
    2
  157. If Russia was a good neighbour, all those countries would have no desire to join Nato in the first place. Russia's concerns? What about Eastern Europe's concerns?
    2
  158.  @luihinwai1  Russia never appllied to join Nato. Russia invaded non Nato Ukraine so Nato exists for a reason.
    2
  159.  @serbtesla  My country was not forced to join. We begged to join and applied with our own free will. Russia his not our daddy to tel us we could not. Russia blames her victms for calling the police.
    2
  160. There was no such promise no papers signed, no problem, bs small talk behind the scene did not matte. Who does Russia think it is to decide about other indeendent country's pact choices? Russia has nothing to say, it's not up to Russia, Eastern European countries are free to decide on their own, Russia is anything but super power, USRR is gone, Eastern Europe is not Russia's buffer zone it's not Russia's slave. Deal with it.
    2
  161. @ My late Polish grandma was crying with tears of joy when we joined Nato so I do not agree. Parliaments chosen by people made the decission. And Russia is not the one to decide about other country's pact choice. War in Ukraine is not about Nato. Ukraine was neutral and nowhere near of Nato membership. It is about Putin's ego. He wants Ukraine.
    2
  162. @ When was the last timeNato invaded nuclear power? What for? When was the last time Russia made some mess in non Nato neighborhood? Oh, wait... It was never about Nato. Nato stops russia greed. That is all.
    2
  163. @ USSR was Germany's ally till 1941 and both invaded Poland in september 1939. For Eastern Europe Soviets werre anything but liberators. USA did not try to annex Cuba and Ukraine is not even Nato memebr. Excuse is not a reason. Every bully feels provoked and needs excuses. It does not matter which excuse bully picks in the end.
    2
  164. There was no agreement in the first place and we are done with Russia's demands and Putin's paranoia. Russia is not a special need baby and Eastern Europe is not Russia's slave anymore. They joined Nato because they hate Russia for a reason.
    2
  165. And there is nothing wrong with that.
    2
  166.  @Earth098  Russia is anything but super power and Russians are the only one not to get it yet.
    2
  167. Nobody forced my country to join Nato. We begged to join as quicly as we could because we wanted to be secured from Russia's aggression. We did the right thing. Russia invades non Nto neighbors only. And one more thing... Who is Russia and why should we always care what Russia wants while Russia herself never cares for our agenda? We owe Russia nothing. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master.
    2
  168. Why Russia thinks it can decide about other countries pact choices? It's up to those countries!
    2
  169. Spot on. Russia's neighbors are not Russia's puppet, Russia's sphere of influence, Russia's buffer zone. Who does Russia think it is to decide about their pact choices? If Russia was a good neighbor, there would be no need to join Nato. Russia still thinks it owes Eastern Europe but Cold war era is over, USSR is gone and Russia today is anything but super power. Eastern European pact choices is up to Eastern Europe and it's high time everybody around the world noticed and respected it. Stop looking at Ukraine through Russia's eyes. Why should we always care about utin's wants, Putin's paranoia and utin's excuses. This war is not about Nato exanson. It's about Putin's ego. Nato expanson is simply excuse for Putin.
    2
  170. I don't gove a damn about Russia's concerns because Russia did not give a damn about other countries right to decide about themselves on their own. It's Russia who has a record of invading its neighbours or telling them what thet can or can not do while it's not up to Russia to decide.
    2
  171. Ukraine did not invade Russia, it was exactly the opposite and Ukraine had zero chance to join Nato after 2014. Putin invaded anyway. Because he wants Ukraine as a part of Russia and he could invade no Nato Ukraine only. Stop blaming a victim for calling the police. Russia gave Eastern European countries every good reason to join Nato.
    2
  172. USA did not try to annex Cuba and did not say anythong like "It is not a real country". Nato is bs excuse for russian greed.
    2
  173. War in Ukraine was never about Nato. It was always about Puti's sick idea to annex Ukraine. Nato expansion talk is another bs excuse to justify russian greed. Russia is not a special need baby and Russia's neighbours are not its slaves. Their security concerns do matter. Russia has never been a friendly neighbour. Countries aply to join Nato. It is not made by force.
    2
  174. Both Russia and China needs bs excuses to annex somebody else's land in the name of its leader's ego.
    2
  175. Ukraine is imperfect but still democratic state unlike Russia with the same guy in power for over 20 years.
    2
  176. If Russia was a good neighbour there would be no desire to join Nato to the east.
    2
  177. Should we care what cheap gas station of Russia wants? No. Russia does not own Eastern Europe.
    2
  178. Nato did not invade Russia. It is Russia which keeps invading and annexing its neighbours.
    2
  179.  @benjaminhenderson5025  Ask Cuba's political leaders. Whataboutism is no justification for Russia's crimes in Ukraine.
    2
  180. Who gave Russia any right to decide about other countries pact choices and future above their heads?
    2
  181. Poland does for Ukraine what West did not want to do for Poland back in 1939. Stop talking about Russia's concerns. What about ours? We know Russia better than you ever will. We are free people living in free country. We joined Nato because we wanted. Nato did not force us to join. Being Russia's neighbour is not a choice but stop trating us like we are still Russia's backyard. We are not for over 30 years. Putin can't stand it.
    2
  182. Nato is an excuse for Putin. All he can do is to invade non Nato neighjbours.
    2
  183.  @YOU-iw4ur  If countires like Lithuania or Latvia were not in Nato, Putin would like to invade them as well.
    2
  184.  @dreamer27-h8k  Joining Nato was a choice while being Warsaw pact member was made by force and Warsaw pact was the only one to invade its ow members.
    2
  185. Russia always feels provoked and it does not really matter what West did or did not do.Russia needs excuses only to justify her acts of aggresson. We owe Russia nothing.
    2
  186. Russia's neighbour joined Nato because they had no trust in Russia. And they were right to do so. Russia was is and will be a threat to them so they joined Nato to be secured and nobody forced them exept for their own bad experience with Russia. Russia must look in the mirror and stop blaming a victm for calling the police.
    2
  187.  @nabarunghoshal560  I am not sorry for Osama or other messed up Talibs who treat women like a dog. Russia was supposed to overtake Ukraine in 3 days. The whole world is shocked how poor and corrupt russian army turned out to be.
    2
  188. It is hard for me to understand why so many people still skip the "what Russia's neighbours will and voice was in all of this" part. We are not a ping pong ball. We joined Nato because it was up to us, not up to Russia. Russia is not our master. We did not have to ask Russia for its permission.
    2
  189. inside of Russia only. Who does support Russia? Poor countries and other dictatorships? Nothing to be proud of.
    2
  190. Russia had no right to decide about independent countries pact choices
    2
  191. I am tired of russian whataboutsm. USSR is gone but so what? Russia still thinks it owns Easter Europe and keeps invading its neighbours to annex them. Nato is an excuse. Stop blaming a victim for calling the police. Blame the aggressor. Nothing and nobody forces Russia's neighbours to join Nato exept for Russia's criminal behavoiur. Russia simply is imperialistic state. Russia is anything but super power. USSR is gone and Putin can not stand he has nothing to say anymore. Eastern Europe is not Russia's backyard. Joining Nato is a choice while being Russia's neighbour and Warsaw pact country was not. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. Nato is an excuse. Putin hates Nato because he can not annex as much as he would like to. He cn not invade Nato member neighbours.
    2
  192. Nato expansion in number one EXCUSE for Putin to annex Ukraine.
    2
  193. Who is Russia to decide about other country's pact choices and treat it like its buffer zone? Russia is not Eastern Europe's master.
    2
  194.  @shadowxoxx  You know nothing about Eastern Europe's history and what Eastern Europeans have been through because of russian imperialism over the centuries, don't you?
    2
  195. USA did not invade its neighbour to annex it. Russia did. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to demand anything. Russia needs bs excuses to justify its never ending greed. Putin wants Ukraine. Russia simply loves annexing just because it can.
    2
  196. Mexico has nothing to worry about. USA is a good neighbour. Russia never was and never will be. Russia is always the same. @misaokusakabe248 
    2
  197.  @UnderhillKoufax  Nato never promised Russia not to expand east, there is no paper signed that you can show me and last but not least Eastern Europeans owe Russia nothing, Russia is not their master to demand anything. They joined Nato because they wanted to and it is none of Russia's decission. Russia always needs excuses. Ukraine had no chance to join and Putin invaded anyway. Because he could invade non Nato Ukraine only and he did think it would be easy. He wants Ukraine as a part of Russia. It is not about Nato. Why didn't Russia invade Finland? It is about Putin's ego and legacy. Russia is not a super power anymore and USSR is gone. Eastern Europe moved on and left Russia behind for a reason.
    2
  198.  @UnderhillKoufax  Bs small talk means nothing, there is no paper signed and Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard anymore. Who does Russia think it is?
    2
  199. Of course. Ukraine is imperfect but still democratic country unlike Russia which has the same dude in power for over 20 years with no transparent election and freedom of speech.
    2
  200.  @mrparts  They tried to change Russia into good neighbour and partner. Something impossible to do. Putin has always been the same pure evil. West was just too naive and did not want to see it.
    2
  201. Russia had no right to decide about other countries future and pact choices. It's not Russia's backyard anymore.
    2
  202.  @hazahizabbanzabalawan3815  Ukraine has no nukes, Ukraine is not Nato member state and had no chance to jon anytime soon and Nato exansion is simply another excuse for Putin to annex Ukraine. Bs excuses for Putin.
    2
  203.  @charmelen2  If they love Russia so much they are free to move out to Russia. Ukrainian land belongs to Ukrainian people and Russia is not allowed to grab it. It idoes not justify russian crimes on Ukrainian soil either.
    2
  204.  @itookurmomlastnight6089  Joining Nato was my country's choice while being Russia's victim, puppet and Warsaw pact country was not

    2
  206. Show me the paper signed or stop lying. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Get over it. Bs small talk behind the scene does not matter.
    2
  207. Stop spreading bs, Ivan. There is no paper signed that you can show me and there is no such thing as verbal promise on international political level. West owes Russia nothing. Russia loves annexing and needs bs excuses everytime it wants to annex somebody else's land.
    2
  208. They did not. Eastern Europeans are free people and it was up tho them. Who does Russia think it is to tell independent countries what pacts they can or can not join? Why should we care what Russia wants? Is Russia a special need baby? We are done with Putin's paranoia.
    2
  209. So what? they owe Russia nothing. USSR is gone. Russia is still a bad neighbor so Nato exists for a reason and it is none of Russia's decission.
    2
  210. Some people still treat Eastern Europeans as if they had no voice, no rights and no agenda.
    2
  211.  @mannylugz5872  Germany did not let it happen.
    2
  212. Even if it was on paper. Why does Russia always think it has any right to decide about independent countries pact choices? Because of so called "security concerns? What about Eastern Euroeans concerns? It's up to them what they choose for their future. They know Russia well and that's why they joined Nato. Joining Nato is not being made by force. It's a choice. Being Russia's neighbour is not.
    2
  213. Russians do think so but me as a Pole do not give a damn. I am not Russia's slave and my country is not soviet backyard anymore. Russia is neither super power nor a special need baby.
    2
  214. Russia had and has no right to decide about other countries above their heads. These are independent states and they were/are free to decide about themselves. It's not Putin's backyard. We are not ping pong ball. We are free people living in free Europe.

  216. Russia is full of greed and loves annexing its neighbours.
    2
  217.  @nomayor1  Did USA try to annex Cuba or claimed "it is not a real country"? Was Ukraine Nato member?
    2
  218. Russia must respect Eastern European countries, their right to decide, independence borders, pact choices.
    2
  219. Nobody cares what cheap gas station of Russia wants. Russia is not a super power to demand anything. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to decide about other countries pact choices.
    2
  220. Nato is an excuse for Putin to justify his greed and sick idea to annex Ukraine. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it
    2
  221. bs smalle talk behind the scene is not an agreement. Russia had no damn right to decide about other country's safety and pact choices.
    2
  222. Russia also signed Budapest Memorandum in 1994 and was supposed to respect Ukraine's independence and borders.
    2
  223. Russia loves taking all USSR glory as long as it suiis Russia's narrative and always skips its dark sides. Russians simply can not stand they do not own Eastern Europe. Russia has nothing to say. With its Kaliforia's gdp, corrupt paper tiger army Russia is anything but super power.
    1
  224. Blaming Russia's neighbours for their will to join Nato is like blaming a victim for calling the police.
    1
  225. If Russia was a good neighbour, ther would be no need to join Nato to be secured.
    1
  226. I am tired of people who keep talking about Russia's neighbours as if their voice and will to be secured by Nato did not matter in all of this. It did. And Russia has nothing to say. Russia does not own Eastern Europe.

  229. Take it easy. Russian nukes must be as poor as russian army. Besides it it utin who did invade Ukraine. Nato is an excuse for Putin to justify his own greed and crimes.
    1
  230. It is undestandable that Russia's neighbours joined Nato as quicly as they could because they were tired of Russia's threats, invasions, lack of freedom and poverty caused by Russia and former USSR. Those countries did not ask to live as USSR's puppets for decades of Cold War era. It was made by force. Joining Nato was a choice.
    1
  231.  @michaelvan-vn9ku  It is not a threat for Russia. It is an EXCUSE. Putin knows he can invade non Nato countries only and that is why he hates Nato. When was the last time Nato invaded a nuclear power? Nobody would do it and Putin knows it. It is not about Nato. It is about Putin's ego. He wants Ukraine.
    1
  232.  @michaelvan-vn9ku  Bs small talk behind the scene is not an agreement and Russia is not the one to decide about other country's pact choices. Russia always needs excuses to annex somebosy else's land. Why would Nato invade Russsia? What for? If we want russain resources, we can buy it. Nato is not a threat for Putin. It is an excuse.
    1
  233.  @michaelvan-vn9ku  Action speaks louder than words. Russia did invade non Nato Ukrane because it could Nato never invaded a nuclear power. What for?
    1
  234. Nato never promised not to expand. Russia's neighbours asked to join Nato to be secured and did it for a reason. It is called own experience with Russia's aggression. Russia is neither super power nor a special need baby to demand anything. Russia does not own Eastern Europe.
    1
  235. Nato is an excuse for Putin. He simply wants to annex Ukraine and he knows he can not invade other Nato member neighbours Russia has nukes pointed at Nato neighbours in Kaliningard. Did Nato invade Russia because of it? No.
    1
  236. And Russia aways ignores Eastern Europeans, their wil, their agenda, their rights and indeendence We owe Russia nothing. Russia is not our master.
    1
  237. Russia is anything but big power. It is cheap gas station with broken nukes and Kalifornia's gdp which can not stand USSR is gone.
    1
  238.  @lip9149  And why should Nato do it? To make criminal state of Russia happy and free to invade and annex its neighbours? Give me a break.
    1
  239. There was no agreement and Russia has nothing to say when it comes to other country's pact choices. Russia does not own Eastern Europe.
    1
  240. There was no written agreement. Besides start respecting Russia's neighbours right to decide on their own. They are not Russia's puppets or a buffer zone. Deal with it for God's sake. Russia is not the only one to have safety concerns in Eastern Europe. Russia's past and current victims have it too so they joined Nato to be secured and they were right. . Russia's safety concerns are Putin's paranoia and excuses to annex his neighbour.
    1
  241.  @adbogo  Politics it is ot a preschool. Somebody told something to someone behind the scene and Russians are dump enough to call it an agreement. I have no words...Russia had no and still has no right to decide about other country's pact choices. What is inside of russian mind to even think their interest is above all? Russia does not own Eastern Europe and is not Ukraine's master. Russia is neither super power nor a special need baby. We are done with Putn's paranoia and his excuses to invade his neighbour. It is not about Nato. It is about Putin's greed and his huge ego.
    1
  242. Russian nukes must be as oor and pathetic as russian army in Ukraine. I would not even bother.
    1
  243. Even if...Who gave Russia any right to decide about Eastern European's fate and their pact choices? They are free people, they are not Russia's buffer zone.
    1
  244.  @vob8509  And why should we care? Is Russia a super ower or a special need baby? No. It is cheap gas station which can not stand it does not own Eastern Europe anymore. War in Ukraine is not about NAto. Putin needs EXCUSES to annex Ukraine. He wants Ukraine. It is not aboutNato. It is about Putin's greed and huge ego.
    1
  245.  @hartonolee  Do you care about UKRAINE"s security? I guess you care about Putin's EXCUSES to justify Putin's greed, crimes and paranoia. Ukrainians are free. Nato is an excuse for Putin. He does not want Ukraine to exist. If your country borders Russia neutrality is pure utopia. It is an invitation for Putin "feel free to invae and annex our land". If Rusia was a good neighbour countries like Lithuania, Romania or Poland would have no need to join Nato. Their safety do matter. Putin needs excuses and he knows he can not invade Nato member neighbour. He blames his victims for calling the police. Who is Russia to demand any special treatment? Russia is anything but super power. It is cheap gas station which loves annexing Eastern Europe.
    1
  246.  @hartonolee  Who cares about Putin's paranoia and excuses? Russia is invading and annexing its neighbour so who n fact is provoking here?

  247. If soviet union/Russia was a good neighbour, all former satelite states would have no need to join Nato for protection.
    1
  248. Nato exansion is bs excuse for Putin. He simply wants to anex Ukraine and he knows he can invade no Nato countiries only.
    1
  249. It is russia general who turned Aleppo into ashes and Russia was fighting on Assad's side. The same Assad who used chemical weapon on his own people. Nothing to be proud of. Nobody in rught mind is sorry for Saddam either. None of this justifies russian crimes in Ukraine.
    1
  250. Russia does F itself. Russia nukes are as poor as russian army in Ukraine.
    1
  251. Russia is a dictatorship. It had no chance to join Nato.
    1
  252. Because Russia still loves invading its neighbours if they are not Nato members.
    1
  253.  @nevergrowedup  USA does not invade its neighbours and being USA ally and Nato member state is not made by force unlike being Warsaw pact member.

  260. Russia's oint of view is simply Putin's paranoia and Putin's excuse. This war in Ukraine is not abou Nato. It's about Putin's ego. Nato is at Russia's borders for over 20 years and Putin woke up 9 months ago?
    1
  261. The most important thing was not a "broken promise" there was no such promise and written agreement in the first place" byt Eastern Europeans, their will and voice to escape Russia's/Soviet influence and be secured from Russia's aggression. Nobody forced them to join Nato exept for Russia's crimes on their soil over the centuries
    1
  262. Budapest Memorandum? Russia was supposed to respect Ukraine's independence and borders. It was signed in 1994. Do you know what else is imortant? Eastern Europeans, their will and their voice in all of this. Nobody forced them to join Nato exept for their own exerience with Russia's aggression over the centuries. Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard anymore. They had something to say.
    1
  263.  @chrisbrine8964  War in Ukraine was never about Ukraine's Nato membership. Nato expansion is simply another excuse for Putin. He calls Ukrainans "little Russians". He does not consider Ukraine to be a real state. He wants to annex Ukraine. Nato is an excuse to justify Putin's greed and sick legacy. Putin hates Nato because he knows he can not invade Nato member neighbours like Lithuania or Poland. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it. Russia still occupies 20% of Georgia. Putin acts like and abusive husband who blames his wife for calling the police because she did not want to be hurt anymore. My late Polish grandma was crying tears of joy when our country of Poland joined Nato in 1999. She knew Russia better than many people ever will. Joining both EU and Nato was a choice while being Russia's neighbour is not.

  264. Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard anymore. Their safety concerns and agenda do matter. Era of spheres of influence is over. USSR is gone but Russia still loves invading and annexing its neighbours so Nato exists for a reason.

  265. Nato is an excuse for Putin. If Russia was a good neighbour there would be no need to join Nato.
    1
  266. This war is not about Nato. It's about Putin's ego and sick geocine ideas. He does not even want Ukraine to exist. Eastern Europe is not Russia's backyard anymore. They are free people. Nato is simply excuse for Putin.
    1
  267. Eastern Europe is not Putin's backyard or ping pong balls. They are independent states that were looking for safety as they know Russia and had no trust in Russia. They are not "sphere of infuance". They are free people living in free coutries with every right to decide on their own about their pact choices.
    1
  268. West has been treating Russia like a special need baby for way too long. Nato expansion is not a reason for Putin to invade Ukraine. It is bs excuse to justify Putin's greed. Russia loves annexing just because it can. Eastern Europeans are free people, they owe Russia nothing, they joined Nato to be secured because they knew Russia would never change and they were right. Russia can invade non Nato neighbours only. Russia will never change, with or without Putin. Russians don't know any better.

  271.  @mariomusic3058  Putin is in power because he killed or poisoned all his political opponents. His biggest dream is to regain USSR power. There is no freedom of speech in Russia, they are all branwashed or in prison for not supporting their leader's point of view.

  272. Putin had a crazy idea to annex Ukraine

  274.  @briancarno8837  Nato is an excuse for Putin to annex Ukraine. Russia was supposed to respect Budapest Memorandum signed in 1994, respect Ukraine's independence and borders. Russia broke that agreement.
    1
  275.  @briancarno8837  It was not a coup. Stop spreading russian bs. Yanukovich lost suport of hs own party and run to Moscow where he belongs to. Ukraine's political path is none of Russia's bussines. Ukraine is not Russia's bissines becuase it is not russian backyard. Deal with it
    1
  276.  @briancarno8837  Ukraine is USA bussines because Ukraine asked for it and it is Ukraine's will for years to join West. Being Russia's puppet is made by forceYou can not force anybody to love Russia. Russia's neighbour turned their back on Russia for a reason. It is called own experience with Russia over the years. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Putin is not the president of Ukraine and Ukraine is not Russia. Simple as that. Joining Nato is not made by force. Countries apply to join and they do not have to care what Russia thinks about it. They do not have to ask Russia for its permission.
    1
  277. No papers signed not to expand east, small talk behind the scene did not matter. Eastern European countries are not sphere of influence, they hate Russia for a reason and nobody forced them to join Nato. They did it because they wanted and they were so damn right.

  278. Russia is annexing. You know nothing about Eastern Europe's history with Russia.

  280. USA did not annex Cuba while Russia is using Nato expansion as an excuse to invade and annex Ukraine. It was never about Nato membershi or nukes because Ukraine has none of it

  281.  @hartonolee  War in Ukraine was never about Nato or nukes. It was about Putin's greed, paranoia, huge ego and bs excuses to annex Ukraine.

  282.  @tasospanagiotou7823  Russia keeps threating its neighbours and keeps invading and annexing them. Eastern Europe's history is all about Russia's crimes on their soil. so stop blaming a victim and stop looking for excuses for Russia's krmes.

  285. Exactly. Russia today is anything but super power and can not stand it.

  286. It was not and it is no justification for Putin's crimes. It is an excuse for Putin. He simply wants to annex Ukraine.

  289.  @ashbohgan2022  How does Poland feel when Russia has nukes pointed at them in Kaliningrad? Did they invade Russia? No. Putin needs excuses to annex Ukraine. He wants Ukraine. It was never about Nato at Russia's borders. Nato is there for decades? Did Putin wake up last year?
    1
  290. Nato is at Russia's borders for over 20 years. Did Putin wake up yesterday? If Russia was a good neighbour there would be no need to join Nato to be secured. Putin blames his victims for callig the police. Russia is not a special need baby to demand anything and Ukraine's security concerns are no less important. Ukraine isa n independent state. Nato is an excuse for Putin because he knows he can ot invade Nato member eighbours. It is not about Nato. It is about Russia which has never had any respect for its neighbours, their security, independence, borders and right to decide. Russia does not own Eastern Europe.
    1
  291. And one more thing. If your country borders Russia neutrality is both utopia and stupidy. It is an invitatio for Putin to annex somebody else's land. Nato is an excuse and Ukrainians are free people, they are nobody's buffer.
    1
  292. Nato expansion is an excuse for Russia. Putin knows he can not invade Nato member neighbours like Poland so he keeps invading non Nato neighbours like Ukraine. Putin wants Ukraine. He does not want Ukraine to exist.

  293. Us did not bomb Ukraine. Putler did. All Ukraine want is to go its own way and not be Russia's backyard.
    1
  294. Stop spreading russian fakes. Who is Russia to demand such a thing in the first place? Is Putin the resident of Poland, Romania, Chech republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Georgia and so on to have anything to say? Russia has nothing to say because Russia does not own Eastern Europe. It is very simle. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato. Eastern Europeans are free people, theuir voice and will to be secured do matter and Nato is simply an excuse for Putin to invade Ukraine.
    1
  295.  @dancotton13  so much bs in one post. Neutrality is not independence. And stop your whatabotism. Stop looking for exuses for russian crimes. Joining nato was not made by force while being a part of Warsaw pact was not a choice.

  296.  @dancotton13  and one moe thing. Usa does not invade its neighbours so Mexico has nothing to wory about. Russia loves invading its neighbours and NATO is an excuse

  297.  @dancotton13  And one more thing. USA is a super power whle Russia pretends being super power but is anything but. It is cheap gas station which can not stand its time of glory is over.
    1
  298.  @dancotton13  USA did not force my country to join Nato and we are more than happy to stand by USA's side after all we have been through with Russia. I am not sorry for Osama, Milosevic, Talibs, Saddam. I am not sorry for average Russians who are raised to be passive and act like slaves. They live in a prison and their history books it's a matrix. There is no justification for a geocine Russians are committing. Russia has Kalifornia's gdp so stop acting like a super power
    1
  299. Tell it to Central and Eastern Europeans that you did not give a damn about their experience with Russia after all they have been through. They are not Russia's backyard. They joined Nato with their free will and it was not Russia to tell them what they could or could not do.
    1
  300. Putin is a liar, a murderer, old pathetic botox face. Other countries pact choices are up to those countries. They are not Russia's backyard anymore.
    1
  301. Nato exists and expands because Russia's neighbours apply to join. Why do they want to join? Because Russia never stopped invading and annexng its neighbours everytime it can. Russia is not a special need baby to demand anything. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master anymore.
    1
  302.  @trugssgogorf6371  Are you looking for justification of Putin's action? There is no justification. Iraq? World is a better place without Saddam, without Osama and will be a better place without Putin. Just wait and see.

    1
  305.  @MinisterDorado  It's Putin and FSB who ordered to bomb aartment buldings in Moscow in the late 90's to blame it on Chechens and to justify a war in Chechenya. Do you really trust a guy who is in power for over 20 years and poisons his political oponents and critics? Anna Politkovskaya was killed because of Putin's orders. My time is valuable unlike russian currency ruble so I am not going to waste more time to talk to brainwashed russian. It will take generations to change your imperialistic state of mind. Geocine in Bucha and other places in Ukraine will not be forgotten. Being a Russian these days it's an insult. I even feel pitty for you sometimes.
    1
  306.  @MinisterDorado  He did it tointroduce himself as a powerful leader. He was about to replace Yeltcin. There was free media in Russia when Yeltcin was russian president. Some were even allowed to have fun of the head of state. In Putin's Russia you can you can only dream about this kind of freedom of speech. You will face 15 years in jail for calling a war in Ukraine a war that it is instead of "special operiation". Are you really proud of geocine in Bucha? Is it worth to be paid troll while ruble i so worthless? I feel pitty for you. Putin drags whole Russia down.

  307.  @RyzenShanks  Russia loves taking all USSR glory and always skips its dark sides. It is USSR which invaded Poland on 17th of september 1939 and committed Katyn Massacre in 1940. Russia is anything but super power and Russians are the only one not to understand it yet. Who do you think you are? Russia is only cheap gas station and very poor state with Kalifornia's gdp. Nobody cares what you want anymore. USSR is gone. You do not own Easter Europe, Deal with it, Ivan.
    1
  308.  @RyzenShanks  Nato should Nato expand just because Russia demands it? Russians are so funny They sitll do not understand Russia had nothing to say. Why should it? There was no written agreement not to expand. Nobody cares about small talk behind the scene and nodoby calls it "a promise" exept for Russians who awlays need excuses to justify their war crimes. USSR collapsed because it was poor, weak and failed in Afghanistan. Russia's neighbours have been fighting for its independence for years. It was not given for free. Russia's neighbours did not ask for being Russia's satelites and slaves. You can not force anybody to love Russia or join Russia. Nothing forced my country to join Nato years ago exept for our own experence with Russia. Russians never learn. Russia was is and wil be a threat because they don't know any better. This is what Russia in fact is. Imperialistic evil state which simply has a break from time to time but has never had any respect for its neighbours. Russia never stops until it is stopped.Russia must look in the mirror and stop pretending the humanistarian one. They must stop playing the victim card. If so many neighbours hate Russia it is called own experience, it is not rusophobia. Stop pretending Russia let its neighbours go. Russia was too weak to keep Eastern Europe in its sphere of influence and Rusisa's neighbours know Russia has nothing to offer exept for poverty and more crimes.

  309.  @lawrencetshuma2308  It did for a reason. Not to annex it. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. It is a genocine and there is no justification for it.

  316.  @alexpetrov283  Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants Ukraine. Period. All the rest are bs excuses. Russia invaded Ukraine just because it could. It is not about nukes or Nato. It is about Putin's ego, Russia's never ending lack of respect for its smaller neighbours and russian greed
    1
  317.  @elenaberwick3980  Russia is invading and annexing its neighbours so whio is provoking here? Russia must stop playing the victim card. Russia's neighbours knew Russia and joined both Nato and EU because Russia has never had anything to offer exept for poverty, geocine, rapes and wars. Nothing forced Ukrainians to go West exet for russian criminal behaviour on Ukrainian soil. It was not a coup.Russia has nothing to say when it comes to Ukraine's political and path choices. utin needs excuses to annex Ukraine.

  319.  @playonesong5430  Stop your whataboutism. Ukraine has no nukes, Poland has no nukes, Lithuania has no nukes. Ukraine is not Nato member state. Nato is an excuse for Putin invade and annex Ukraine. Russia has always been invading and annexing its neighbours just because it could. Guess what? Russia is not Eastern Europe's master. Russia is not a special need baby so why should we always care what Russia wants? Russia must look in the mirror and ask itself why somany neighbours hate Russia. and want to be secured by Nato. Putin knows he can not invade Nato neighbours. It is not about Nato. It is about Russia's greed, imperialism and Putin's sick idea to annex Ukraine. He wants Ukraine. Nato talk is just another bs.

  320.  @alexpetrov283  Nato and nukes are only bs exucses for Putin. It was never about Nato. It has always been about Putin's eggo and sick legacy. He wants Ukraine. Period. Russia has always been invading and annexing its smaller neighbours, threated them with no respect just because it could.

  321.  @playonesong5430  Why would Mexico want to do it? USA s a good neighbor, Russia is not. Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants Ukraine. Nato is an excuse, not a reason. Why ddn't he invade Poland, Finland or Lithuania? Did he wake up yesterday? Because he wants Ukraine which had zero chance to join Nato. He could invade non Nato Ukraine only. USA is a super power. Russia is not.

  329.  @kovacstibor  You live in a matrix. If Russia was a good neighbour, many former Warsaw pact countries would have no need to join Nato to be secured. Nothing forced my country to join Nato many years ago exept for our own bad experiences with Russia over the centuries. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master. Russia had no reason to invade Ukraine. Putn needed an excuse. Russia has always been invading and annexing its smaller neighbours Stop blaming a victm for asking for help. Russia should look in the mirror. If so many neghbours hate Russa, it is for a reason. Ukraine gave u its nukes and Russia was supposed to resect Ukraine's independence and borders. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. It is Russia which has nukes pointed at Nato member neighbours in Kaliningrad, not the opposite. Putin knows he can not invade Nato members. He does not want Ukraine to exist. It is a geocine. All the rest is an excuse.
    1
  330.  @kovacstibor  Nato is at Russia's borders for decades.Lithuania and Poland joined Nato more or less 20 years ago. If Russia was a good neighbour, they would have no need to join Nato. Did Putin wake up yesterday? No. Ukraine is not Nato member state. Putin wants Ukraine. Period. If your country borders Russia neutrality is pure utopia and it is like an invitation for Putin "feel free to invade and annex us'. Putin hates Nato because he knows he can not invade Nato member neighbours. Russia was supposed to respect Ukraine's independence and borders according to deal signed in 1994. Ukraine's political path and pact choices is none of Russia's bussines. Who does Russia think it is to decide about Ukraine's path? Ukrainians are free people, they are not Russia's buffer zone. Russia is neither a special need baby nor a super power. It is cheap gas station which can not stand USSR is gone and its glory is over.
    1
  331.  @David-io9lp  And one more thing. USA did not annex Cuba while Putin does not want Ukraine to exist and he calls Ukrainians "littlle Russians". Typical lack of respect for its neighbours on russian side. What Russia does in Urkraine is very much a geocine. Nato expansion is simply excuse to justify Putin's sick ideas. Ukraine gave up its nukes and Russia was supposed to respect Ukraine's independence and borders according to Budapest Memorandum signed by Russia in 1994. Putin acts like an abusive husband who blames his wife for calling the police. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it.
    1
  332. And Russia's neighbours would not tolerate russian imperialism they were badly experienced by over the centuries. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato t be secured. War in Ukraine is not about Nato. It is about Putin's ego and his sick idea to annex Ukraine. Nato is an excuse to justify his greed. Putin acts like an abusive husband who blames his wife for caling the police. Russia simply loves invading and annexing its neighbours. That's the way is was is and will be because this is who Russi in fact is. Imperialistic state which can not stand USSR is gone and its time of glory is over. Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard anymore and their will to be secured, their security concerns, their safety and agenda do matter.

  333. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato. It's Russia which has no respect for Eastern European countries, their will, independence and right to decide.

Cheap gas station that made fool of itself in front of whole world by invading Ukraine.

It is Russia's neighbours which have real security concerns because it is Russia which keeps invding them, not the opposite. Their security, agenda, safety,i independence, borders and right to decide do matter. Who is Russia in all of this? It is not Eastern Europe's master. It is cheap gas station with Kalifornia's gdp which can not stand its time of glory is over. Russia does ot own Eastern Europe anymore. USSR is gone. Nato never promised Russia anything. Russia needs excuses. It has always been the same. Russia has never had ay respect for its neighbours.

Russia keeps invading and annexing its neighbours so those countries want to join Nato to be secured Russia is neither a super power nor a special need baby to demand anything.

  371. It is Russia which keeps invading its neighbours so stop blaming those countries for asking for Nato protection. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Cold War era is over, USSR is gone, Russia has nothing to say. Eastern Europe's voice and will to be safe and secured by Nato do matter.
    1
  372.  @tasospanagiotou7823  And was is the reason for Russia's neighbours, neutral Finland included, for their desire to be secured by Nato? Isn't it Russia which loves invading its neighbours if they have no Nato protection? It is. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it. All he can to is to invade and annex non Nato Ukraine. Russia's neighbours did not join Nato because they have no better things to do. The had a reason. The reason was russian criminal behavoiur. Russia is always the same imperialistic criminal state. Putin wants Ukraine. He has always wanted to annex Ukraine. He does not consider Ukrainians to be a nation. He calls them "little Russians". What does Nato has to do with it? Nothing. Nato is an excuse. Putin wants Ukraine. Period. utin blamis his victims for calling the police. Victims call the police because she does not want to be hurt anymore. Nobody hurt Russia.

  373. USSR is gone but Russia still loves invading and annexing so Nato exists for a reason. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it.

  376. Who cares? If Russia was a good neighbour, many former Warsaw pact countries would have no need to turn their back and Russia to join Nato. Russia does not own Eastern Europe and has nothing to say when it comes to its neighbours political path and pact choices. USSR is gone. It s not soviet backyard anymore. Nato is an excuse for Putin to justify his crimes

  380. Ukraine occupied and annexed by Russia is what you would call "independent"? Ukraine's pact and political choices is none of Russia's bussines. Russia has nothing to offer and that is why so many former Warsaw pact countries turned their back on Russia and joined both EU and Nato. Turn RT chanel off.

  388.  @tasospanagiotou7823  Russia has always been doing many bad things agains its neighbous and that is why they have no trust when Russia says "It was the last time Russia did hurt you". There is no such thing as modern Russia. Russia is always the same. It is not a matter of one Putin. It is Russia which created Putin, not the oppositte. Nato keeps expanding because countries apply and ask to join. It is not made by force. If so many neighbours and former satelite states hate you, I'd better look in the mirror and ask yourself why is that. Being Warsaw act country was not a choice, living next to Russia is not a choice either.

  392.  @alexanderpepkin4110  Russia simply needs excuses. If those countries had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded them. The reality is Russia can not invade Nato member neighbours so Putin hates Nato because he can not annex as much as he would like to. War in Ukraine was never about Nato. It was always about Putin's sick idea to annex his neighbours, it was about his ego and legacy. We are done with Putin's paranoia and excuses. Russia is a criminal state which can not stand its time of glory is long time over.

  400. Why should anyone guarantee Russia anything when it comes to other country's pact choices? Who does Russia think it is? Is Russia a special need baby? We owe Russia nothing. Nato is not a reason for Putin to invade Ukraine. It is bs excuse to justify Putin's sick idea to annex Ukraine. Russia has nukes, Ukraine has no nukes, Russia keeps invading neighbours, Nato never invaded Russia. Why would anymoe invade Russia? What for? If we want Russia's resources, we can buy it. It is called trade. Americans do not think about Russia 24/7. Russia is not worth it. Russia is too weak to care much about it. USSR is gone. Russia lost its glory long time ago. Russians are the only one not to understand it yet.  @marynamalitskaya3534

  407. Nobody forced Poland to join Nato exept for Poland's own experience with crimes committed by Russia on Polish soil over the centuries. We do not care what Russia wants becuase Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Russia is a criminal state its neighbours do not want for have anything in common anymore for a reason.
    1
  408. And one more thing. Eastern Europe did not ask for Russia's so called "liberation". Russia had nothing to offer exept for geocine, poverty, crimes. Eastern Europe did progress when it joined EU.

  411. West owes Russia nothing. Nato is bs excuse for Putin to invade Ukraine. Putin wants to annex Ukraine and he could invade non Nato country only. Eastern Europeans are free people, they are not Russia's slaves and do not have to ask Russia for its permission. Their pact choice is up to them
    1
  412. Nato is bs excuse. Russia simply loves annexing its neighbours and blaming them for asking for help USSR is gone, Eastern Europe is not russian backyard, we owe Russia nothing and small talk is not official agreement. Russia has nothing to say when it comes to other country's pact choices. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato in order to be secured.

  413. Show me any paper to prove it...Oh wait, you can not... because there wasn't any. Talk is just a talk and it means nothing. We owe Russia nothing and Eastern Euroepan countries are not soviet slaves anymore. They decide on their own and they do what is the best for them and their safety. Deal with it. If Russia does not like bigger Nato, Russia should stop giving her neighbours good reasons to join.

  421. Russia did invade Ukrane and Nato expanson is no justification. It is an excuse for Putin and always was. Russia loves invading and annexing its neighbours so neighbours want to join Nato to be secured. It has always been like that. Look at Eastern Europe's hstory Putin blames his victims for asking for help. And who is Russia to decide abot its neighbours act chocies Each country decide on its own and Russia has nothing to say. Why should it? Russia is imperialistic crimina state.

  422. Did USA invade and annex Cuba. No it did not. War in Ukraine is not abut Nato at Russia's borders because Nato is there for decades. oland, Russia's neighbour, joined in 1999, Lithuania, another Rusia's neighbour, joined in 2004. Did Putin wake up yesterday? No.Putin wants Ukraine. Nato IS AN EXCUSE to justify his crimes. Ukraine has no nukes and had no chance to join Nato in the nearest decade. Nato never promised not to expand. there are no papers signed that you can show me so stop spreading russian lies.

  423.  @hotpotato3311  Putin does not even consider Ukraine to be a "real country", He wants whole of Ukraine as a a part of Russia. Nato has nothing to do with it. Ukraine had no chance to join and Putin invaded because he could invade non Nato Ukraine only.

  424. Nato never invaded Russia while Russia still like invading and annexing its neighbours so Nato exists for a reason and Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to have anything to say on that matter.

  427. bs small talk behind the scene is not an agreement.

  428. Ask Eastern Europeans why they joined Nato. They will give you history lesson you need. Nato would never invade nucear powers. Putin hates Nato just like an abusive husband blames his wife for filing for divorce and calling the police because she did not want to be hurt anymore.

  433. Putin wants to annex Ukraine and Nato never invaded Russia and would never invade a country with nukes. It is an excuse for Putin to justify his crimes. Eastern European countries joined Nato because of their ow bad experiences with russian aggression over the centuries so Russia should look in the mirror and stop playing the victim card. Ukraine has no nukes and in not a part of Nato so it is simply bs excuse for Putin to invade and annex Ukraine.

USA is a good neighbour unlike Russia so why would Mexico want to join Russia? Russia invades to annex. It is not about Nato at all. Nato is bs excuse for Putin. He wants Ukraine to be a part of Russia. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato and Putin invaded it anyway so Russia must stop playing its whataboutism. Russia is not Ukraine's master, deal with it and sto complaining. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Did Putin wake up yesterday?

If Russia does not like Nato at her borders, Russia should stop giving her neighbors good reasons to join.

  450. There was no written agreement that you can show me. Besides Russia has nothing to say beause Russia does not own Eastern Euroean countries to tell them what they can or ccan not do for their safety. Nato is an excuse for Putin.

  467.  @fingerprint8479  This old man is stucked in Cold war Era when Eastern Europeans had no voice. Guess what?

Nobody cares.

  468.  @fingerprint8479  Funny because Ukraine is not even Nato member and missle these days can go everywhere in a minute so what is your point? Nato is at Russia's borders for decades It does not matter if it is Poland, Lithuania or would it be Ukraine one day. utin does not like Nato just because he can not ivade as much as he would like to. He wants Ukraine as a part of Russia. That is the point. Nato is an excuse, not a reason. Stop blaming Russia's victims for calling the police. They joined Nato because of Russia and Russia gave them plenty of reasons to join. Ask Finland.

  476.  @fingerprint8479  You have no evidence to base your claims. There is no paper signed not to expand Nato east that you can show me.

  477.  @fingerprint8479  Baker did not sign anything. Russian and soviet leader did not sign anything. Bs small talk is not an agreement, no matter what you say or want. It is not. USSR is gone. Eastern Europe is not a ping pong ball, it is not spehere of russian influence and Russia has nothing to say. Eastern Europeans did what was the best for them. You did not answer my quastion. Who is Russia to treat Eastern Europeans as her slaves and to decide about their fate? Russia is a threat for Eastern Europe and Russia should ask herself why neighbors do not want to have anything in common with Russia anymore. They owe Russia nothing. Putin broke every single written agreement but Russians keep complaining about bs small talk and always act as if world owed Russia somethig. It is so funny. utin invaded NON Nato country which had zero chance to join in the nearest future. Russia simply loves making mess in Eastern Europe just because it wants to and thinks it is entitled to rule it. . All the rest is an excuse.

  478.  @fingerprint8479  You did not answer my quastion. Who is Russia to demand anything? Bs small talk on or off the record is not official treaty. Do you understand or should I write it over and over again? Eastern Europeans joined Nato because they wanted to and Russia is the last one to tell them they could not. Eastern Europeans care about their own safety, their own freedom and their owwn agenda. Putin does not like Nato because Nato stops him.

  479.  @fingerprint8479  Baker was not the president of the USA, there was no official written treaty and Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to treat it like a slave. End of story. Nobody cares about talks or records. Are you serious? No, you are funny.

Nato does not need dictatorship country and a special need baby which is always at war inside and outside. Russia is not a special need baby. Nato s not a reason for uti o invade Ukraine. It s bs excuse to invade and annex t. Russia simply loves annexing everytme it can and just because it can. Putin is in power for over 20 years, he kills, puts in prison and poisons all his opponents so stop pretending he s the humanitarian one. Russia has never been a friendly neighbour and Nato expands just because Russia's neighbours ask for a membership. They do it to be secured because they are sick and tired of Russia. Russia is anything but super power and Russians are the only one not to understand it yet. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master. Russia is cheap gas station only.

  490. Joining Nato is not made by force unlike being Warsaw pact country in the past.

  491. Nato owes Russia nothing. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato to be secured.
    1
  492. I understand Putin hates Nato because all he can to is to invade non Nato neighbours. It is like blaming a victim for calling the police.
    1
  493. It's not about papers signed. Nobody has a right to decide about indeppendent countries pact choices. t's up to those coutries. They are not a ping pong ball.

  494. Putin made the bggest mistake ever by invding Ukraine. What did he achieve? Pariah State status for Russia. West has been treating Russia like a special need baby for way too long. Russia is only cheap gas station and anything but super power. Nato expanson is an excuse for Putin. Russia loves invading and annexing its neighbours. Eastern Europeans are free people they are not Russia's slaves or a buffer zone.
    1
  495. Nato expansion is simpy excuse for Putin to justify his sick ideas to annex Ukraine in front of russian people. It is not about Nato. It is about utin's sick mind, sick legacy, huge ego and Putin's greed.
    1
  496. Nato will keep expanding as long as Russia keeps invading and annexing its non Nato neighbours. Nato expansion is bs excuse for Putin. He hates Nato because he can not invade and annex as much as he would like to. Nato stops him. Russia always uses bs excuses.
    1
  497. Because Nato membership and nukes are bs excuses. Ukraine has none of it. USA did not want to annex Ukraine and American president did not claim that "Cuba is not a real country". Putin wants Ukraine as a part of Russia and Nato stops him.
    1
  498. Russia still loves invading its neighbours if they have no Nato protection so Nato exists for a reason. Joining Nato was a choice whle being Warsaw pact country and Russia's neighbour was not.

  499.  @Cor97  Nothing forced my country to join Nato many years ago exept for our own bad experience with russian crimes on our soil over the centuries. My late grandma was crying with tears of joy when our country joined Nato. Being Warsaw pact country was not a choice. Do not even compare these two.Was Crimea voting creditable? I don't think so. Even if it was there is no justification for russian crimes in Ukraine and taking Ukrainian land
    1
  500.  @randystevens6302  If you knew Eastern Europe history, you would know it is not about Nato It is about Russia's imperialism, greed and Putin's huge ego. Nato is an excuse. Putin wants Ukraine.
    1
  501. Being Warsaw pact country was not a choice, those countries had nothing to say while being Nato member state is.
    1
  502. Common sense of Russia's neighbour was to join Nato to be secured so they did and they did not have to ask Russia for its permission because Russia was not their master. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato to be secured. Russia does not own Eastern Europe and we are done with Putin's paranoia and excuses. Russia simply loves invading and annexing its neighbours. Nato is an excuse for Putin becaue he can not invade Nato member neighbours.
    1
  503. Why should we always care about Russia's paranoia, wants and excuses? Who does Russia think it is? If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato. Eastern Europeans are free to decide, they are not a buffer zone, they are free people, not Russia's backyard!
    1
  504. Too many people still treat Russia like a special need baby. Russia does not own Eastern Europe.
    1
  505. Nato expansion is just an excuse for Putin. He hates western values. Besides. Joining Nato it's a choice of every independent state and it's not Russia to decide about it.
    1
  506.  @geoffreyM2TW  So what? It's not Russia to tell independent states what they should do for their future and safety. Russian so called safety concerns it's just an excuse and Putin's aranoia because being at the border does not mean crossing a border to aatack a neighbour independent state. It's like blaming your neighbour for havinng an alarm system because of robbery in his closest area. It's Russia who has a long history of invading its neighbours, never the opposite. Are you suprised former soviet satelite states turned their back to Russia and joined Nato for their safety knowing their history with russian/soviet aggression? If all your neighbours hate you, it means you are the bad one here, look at the mirror and stop playinng the victim card.
    1
  507.  @geoffreyM2TW  Why should we always care and have undarstanding for Russia? I am done with it. It's a victim you must have undertending for, paid troll.

  508. Russia's greed has no limits
    1
  509. And Russia's neighbours dd not ask for it. They have real security concerns while Russia's si called security concerns are only Putin's paranoia and excuses to invade and annex Russia's neighbour. Russia does the same thing as always. Keeps invading just because it wants to.
    1
  510. Nato did not attack Ukraine. Russia did. Russia loves invading its neighbours and that is why so many former Warsaw pact countries joined Nato as quicly as they could.
    1
  511. And do you care what Russia's neighbours, Eastern Europeans wanted in all of this? Did you ask yourself why so many former Warsaw pact members joined Nato as quicly as they could and do not want to have anything in common with Russia anymore? I will give you a clue. It is not because Russia was so friendly. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato to be secured. Russia simly loves invading and annexing its neighbours. It has always been like that. Stop blaming a victim for calling the police. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master and Putin simply needs excuses to justify his sick legacy and huge ego and greed. Bs small talk behind the scene and off the recrd is not an agreement and Russia has no damn right to decide about independent countries pact choices. Russia is neither super power nor a special need baby. Russia is imperialistic state which no respect for its neighbours. Putin hates Nato because he knows he can not invade Nato member neighbours. Every dictator needs excuses. Nato expansion is an excuse for Putin. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. Ukraine is not even Nato member state.Ukrainians are free people, they are not Russia's buffer zone.
    1
  512.  @miroslavsirakov8780  Putin is the one not to care that Ukraine's rights, independence, borders, political and pact choices are no less important than Putin's paranoia and excuses. Russia is poor weak state which can not stand its time of glory is long time over.
    1
  513. Russsia does not want to be Nato member like every other. Russians think they are entitled to run Eastern Europe. Russia loves annexing. Nato does not invade to annex
    1
  514. Russia never aplied to join Nato. Nato is bs excuse for Putin. Russia simply loves annexing its neighbours everytime it can and Nato has nothing to do with it. If eople of Crimea love Russia so much, they are free to move out to Russia, live in Moscow or whereever. Russia s not allowed to grab Ukraine's land jwith every excuse it can find. Russia never ofically applied to join Nato. Stop acting like a special need baby. USA is a super power and Russia is not.Stop comparing Russia to USA. You do not deserve because you have no power. Russia is cheap gas station only. Russia's joining Nato talks were not even serious. Putin hates Nato just because he can not invade and annex as much as he would like to. He wants Ukraine. If Ukraine had been in Nto, he would have never invaded Ukraine. Joining Nato is not made by force unlike Warsaw pact.  @Cat777lovekvd

    1
  519. Joining Nato is not made by force. Countries apply to join and nobody force them to do so. Being Russia's neighbour is not a choice. It is a bad luck. USSR is gone but Russia was is and will be imperialistic state with no respect for its neighbours, their independence, borders and right to decide on their own. Nato exists for a reason. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato but Russia is what it is. Being Warsaw pact member and USSR puppet for decades was made by force. Eastern Europeans did not ask for it. Stop talking about Russia's neighbours as if their voice and will to be secured did not matter. It did.
    1
  520. Even if any paper was signed. Why does Russia think is has any right to decide about other countries pact choices and future above those countries heads?
    1
  521. There was no written agreement, just bs small talk behing the scene. Besides Russia has no damn right to decide about other country's pact choices. Eastern Europeans are free people, they do what is the best for them and they do not have to care about Putin's paranoia and bs excuses. Russia simply loves annexing. Nato is bs excuse only.
    1
  522. Any written agreement that you can show me? No. Is Russia a secial need baby to demand a special treatment? No. USSR is gone, Russia still loves invading and annexing with every stuid excuse so stop blaming a victim for looking for Nato protection.
    1
  523. in short. Eastern Europeans do not care what Russia wants. Why should they?
    1
  524. Mexico and USA are good neighours so Mexico in not interested in being Russia's ally. Putin wants to annex Ukraine. Ukraine is not even Nato member and that is why Putin invaded. He could invade and try to annex non Nato Ukraine only. It is not about Nato. It is about Putins ego. He wants Ukraine.
    1
  525.  @aAverageFan  Past is past. Germany has changed for better, USA does not annex its neighbours now and Russia is always the same. USA has no will to annex more at present time so what is your point

  526. Not only yours. I feel the same. So many people treat Russia like a special need baby and always ski what Eastern Europe's voice is in all of this.

  527. *skip

  528. It is an excuse for Putin's greed and huge ego

  529. War is Ukraine is not about Nato. Ukraine is not even Nato member state, it had no chance to join Nato in the nearest future and Ukraine has no nukes. Putin want Ukraine. He does not want Ukrainian lnguage and culture to exist. He wants russian glory back. He wants to annex Ukraine. All the rest is bs excuse for justify Putin's sick ideas, his huge ego, sick legacy and greed. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Russia's neighbours joined Nato more or less 20 years ago. Why didn't Putin invade Finland which has the longest land border with Russia and wants to join Nato? Because it was never about Nato. Nato is an excuse. Putin simply wants Ukraine.
    1
  530.  @thelordpercival758  My late grandma was crying tears of joy when our country joined Nat.Sheknew Russia better than some gnorants ever will Nobody forced our country to join both Nato and EU. We chose it instead of "mother Russia" because we were sick and tired of it.

  531. Nato is an excuse for Putin to annex Ukraine. He needs to justify his greed somehow and some ignorants believe him

  532. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Did Putin wake up yesterday? No. He simply needs excuses to justify his crimes.

  533.  @gizel4376  Putin acts like an abusive husband who blames his wife for calling the police and filing for divorce because she did not want to be hurt anymore

  534. Nato is an excuse for Putin. He wants to annex Ukraine. Every dictator needs a "reason" to justify his greed.
    1
  535. Nobody cares what Russia wants any more. I am tired of Russia's whataboutism. Eastern Europeans hate Russia for a reason and their pact choices was aup to them, not up to Russia. It's not soviet backyard or a buffer zone anymore.
    1
  536. Nato never invaded Russia. Nato is an excuse for Putin to justify his sick idea to annex Ukraine. USA is a super power while Russia is anything but. It is Russia which keeps invading its neighbours, not the opposite so sto blaming a victim for calling the police

  537.  @thomastaylor9586  Being USA ally is not made by force while being Russia's puppet state is. Being Russia's neighbour is not a choice either.
    1
  538.  @thomastaylor9586  Putin has been paying separatists in Donbas for a reason and Yanukovich lost support of his own party and run to Moscow where he belongs to. Is it so hard to understand Ukrane's political path is none of Russia's bussines and nothing forces Ukrainians to go West exeppt for Ukraine's own experience with russian crimes on Ukrainian soil in the first place?
    1
  539. Nato expansion is not made by force. It's a choice. Being Russia's neighbour is not, being Russia's puppet is not. THIS IS MADE BY FORCE.

  540. Why should West always care what Russia wants? Who does Russia think it is? Is Russia a special need baby? No. Is it a super power? No. Ukraine is not Russia's backyard. Deal with it.
    1
  541.  @lly_09  As if Russia has ever had any respect for its smaller neighbours, their safety, borders and right to decide on their own. Give me a break. Eastern Europeans hate Russia for a reason.
    1
  542. And who is Russia to even demand anything when it comes to Eastern Europe? Russia is only cheap gas station.
    1
  543.  @MohammedKhaled-ju7gy  Nato expansion is only another excuse for another russian leader to simply annex Russia's neighbour. Whole history of Eastern Europe's with Russia proves it right. War in Ukraine was never about Nato. It was always about Russia's ego and Putin's sick idea to annex Ukraine. Putin knows if Ukraine had been in Nato, he would have not been able to invade and annex it. Putin blames his past and present victims for calling the police. USA did not annex Cuba. Russia is annifxing Ukraine and Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. Russia is anything but super power. USSR is gone. Today Russia is only cheap gas station which can not stand its time of glory is over. Joining Nato is not made by force. Being Warsaw pact country was.
    1
  544. Has Nato ever invaded Russia? It is Russia which keeps invading and annexing its neighbours and it is easier for Putin to invade if his neighbour has no Nato protection.
    1
  545. it is russian state of mind. They expect everybody to treat Russia like a special need baby.
    1
  546. The thing is War in Ukraine was never about Nato. Nato is at Russia's borders for over 20 years. Nato is an excuse for Putin. He wants Ukraine and does not consider Ukraine to be a real state.
    1
  547.  @nathanc5778  Bs small talk behind the scene is not even verbal agreement and it is no justification for Russia's crimes in Ukraine. It is simply an excuse for Putin. Every dictator needs excuses and Russia does the same thing as always in Eastern Europe's history. Keeps invading and annexing just because it can.
    1
  548. It is Russia which keeps invading its neighbours and this is the only reasons Eastern European countries are looking for Nato protection. Russia is not a special need baby to demand anythng Eastern Europeand decide on their own. Russia is not their master.
    1
  549. Where is the paper signed and why Russia should have anything to say on that matter?
    1
  550. Everybody understands Putin is sick man with huge ego who simply needs excuses to justify his sick idea to annex Ukraine.
    1
  551. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato. Russia is not a special need baby to demand anything. Russia has nothing to say. Putin needs excuses to justify his crimes. He wants to annex Ukraine and all the rest is bs excuse
    1
  552. Do you try to tell me that countries forced to live under soviet boot were sovereign?
    1
  553. What about Eastern Europe's experience with Russia and their security and concerns? If Russia was a good neighbour, they would have no desire to join nato ASAP. Simpe as that. Nato did not cross Russia's borders. nato did not bomb Russia. Russia did all of this to its neighbours now and in the past.
    1
  554. But Putin's state of mind is still soviet.
    1
  555. I don't care if Russia feels "threatened". My country's pact choices is up to my country and people. What about our safety concerns? Russia has a long history of invading its neighbours and Russia does not give a damn how we feel about it. Joining Nato is not made by force. It's a choice. Being Russia's neighbour is not. Don't justify Russia's actions. It's easy to write BS posts when you live far away from Russia and have no experience like Eastern Europe has.
    1
  556. Exactly. We were not forded, it was our choice and none of Russia's business. We are not Russia's backyard, we are free to do whatever we want for our own safety.

  557. There was no such promise, no papers signed. Why should Nato even care about Russia's wants? Who does Russia think it is?
    1
  558.  @tasospanagiotou7823  Nobody asked my country if it wants to be Warsaw pact member and Russia did not care we did not invite Russians to our homes. Lack of Nato membership is like an invitation for Putin "feel free to invade and annex us because we are powerless". Yes. There was no referendum but most of us are more than happy to be secured by Nato.Putin loves invading its non Nato neighbours.

  559.  @AK-kz6wc  Show me the paper signed.

  561. Joining Nato was something Eastern Euroean countries asked for because they were tired of Russia for a reason. Blaming them for joining Nato is like blaming a victim for calling the police. Nato never signed any treaty not to exand east. We owe Russia nothing. Ukraine had no chance to join and Putin invaded anyway. Because he could.
    1
  562.  @johnmcentegart007  Joining Nato is a choice and being Warsaw pact member and soviet puppet was somethng Eastern Europeans did not ask for. They owe Russia nothing. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master anymore. Get over it. Russia needs excuses only. Russia is always the same.

  563. Russians should ask themselves why so many neighbours do not want to have anything in common with Russia anymore.
    1
  564. It is Russia which keeps invading its neighbours, not the opposite. Eastern Europe is not Russia's backyard anymore. Joining Nato is a free will of every state and who is Russia to decide about independent country's pact choices? You have no idea what Eastern Europeand have been through because of russian greed and imperialism over the centuries.
    1
  565.  @uan2498  Russia had nothing to offer to Eastern Europeans exept for poverty, geocine, comminism, annexing. Nobody in right mnd wants to be allied with Russia. It has always been made by force. Russia must stop aying the victim card. If so many Eastern Europeans hate Russia it is for a reason.
    1
  566. Is Russia a special need baby to demand any special treatment? Who does Russia think it is to treat other independent country as its buffer zone? Stop blaming a victim for looking for Nato protection. Russia does not own Eastern Europe.USSR is gone and obody cares about Putin's excuses to annex Ukraine. Nato is an excuse for Putin to justify his crimes on Ukrainian soil.

  567. Nato expansion is not a reason for Putin. It is an excuse. Russia loves annexing and invading just because it can.

  568. When did Russia apply to join? Oh, wait, it never happened and small talk means nothing.

  569. Nobody promised Russia anything and Russia has nothing to say. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. USSR is gone. Nato is simply excuse for Putin. It is all about Russi's imerialism, Putin's ego and sick mind. Russia loves annexing non Nato neighbours.
    1
  570. Nato never promised Russia not to expand. Small talk behind the scene did not matter. Eastern European countries are free to decise about their pact choices, it's not Russia's backyard. It's none of Russi's business. Russia is no more important than Ukraine
    1
  571.  @ralphbernhard1757  Nobody cares about bs small talk.USSR s gone but Russia still loves invading its non Nato neighbours so Nato exists for a reason. Stop complaining. We are done with Putin's paranoid excuses. Nato expansion is bs excuse for Putin. He simply knows he can not invade Nato member neighbours like Lithuania or Poland. He wants Ukraine.

  572. Why should we care what Russia wants? Eastern Europeans do matter as well. Eastern Europe is not russian backyard anymore.

  573. Al Russia can do is to invade non Nato country. How "brave" of Putin.

  574. Poles did agree to join Nato and they did not have to ask Russia for its permission
    1
  575. It's ot "trust issue". It's called of experience, centuries/decades of wars, geocine, fight for independence against Russia. USSR may be gone but Russia's state of mind is the same pure evil. If your country borders Russia you can become Russia's uet like Belarus, victim like Ukraine or Nato member like Poland. Neutrality is pure utopia. Why should we always care what Russia wants? Nato never attacked Russia. It's Russia which keeps invading neighbours. You have no clue what being Russia's neighbour is like. I do. Russia has never treated its neighbours as partners. Who does Russia think it is to tell other countries what they can or can not do? Russia is a terrorist state, poor pathetic state than can not stand it has less and less to say. Russia's neihbours decide on their own. We are not rusophobic, we are rusoexperienced.
    1
  576. If your country borders Russia neutrality is stupidy and utopia. Russia loves invading its non Nato neighbours. If Ukraine had beed in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it. It is not about Nato at Russia's borders. It is about Russia's imperialism and Putin's greed and his huge ego.
    1
  577.  @Rome-z6q  Putin wants Ukraine as a part of Russia and he knew he could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Nato is not a reason, it is an excuse. Putin does not even consider Ukraine to be "real". Russia invades in order to annex. Cuba whatabotism is invalid here.
    1
  578.  @Rome-z6q  Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Eastern Europeans did what was the best for them and they d not have to care about Russia's feelings. Get over it. War in Ukraine is not about Nato. Nato is an excuse, not a reason for Putin's greed.
    1
  579.  @Rome-z6q  Poland borders Russia, Finland has the biggest land border with Russia, formwer soviet republic of Lthuania borders Russia. Puti wants Ukraine. He does not consider Ukraine to be a real country and EU has nothing to do with it. Ukraine had no chance to join after 2014 and Putin invaded anyway because he did think it would be easu 3 days job. Mexico has nothing to worry about. Canada also has no reason to join Russia because USA is a good neighbor. Russia is not. Your whatabotism is invalid. Russia is not a super power. USA is. USA did not want to annex Canada.

  580.  @Rome-z6q  Besides Nato is not a threat to Russia. It is a threat to Putin's sick ideas. Putin knows he can not invade Nato member neighbors. He could invade non Nato Ukraine only.

  581. Russia keeps invading neighbors so that tells you something WHY all those former Warsaw pact countries joined Nato. They hate Russia for a reason.
    1
  582. There was no written agreement that you can show me and nobody cares who said something to who behind the scene and off the record. Russia has no right to decide about other country's pact choices. Russia does not own Ukraine, Poland, Chech Reublic, Baltic States, Romania and so on.

  583. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master Russia's president is not the president of Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, Romania, Chech Republic, Slovakia and so on. Nobody cares about Putin's paranoia and excuses.

  584. If Russia was a good neighbour with no history of aggression, there would be no need to join Nato. It's a free will. Did you ask yourself why so many former soviet satelite states hate Russia now and joined Nato as quicly as they could. Is that because Russia is so "friendly"?
    1
  585. Who does Russia think it is to tell independent Eastern European countries what pacts they can or can not join? Being Nato member it's a choice. Those countries joined because they wanted and it was not Russia to decide about their fate. It's was not Russia's backyard anymore. Nato never promised not to expand. Joining Nato is not made by force while being Russia's puppet state often is.
    1
  586. War in Ukraine was never about nukes or Nato membership for Ukraine. It is only an excuse for Putin. Russia does the same thing as always. Russia keeps nvading and annexing its neighbours just because it can. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it.
    1
  587. Nobody cares about bs small talk behind the scene and nobody calls it an agreement exet for brainwashed Russians and Putin who need excuses to invade and annex independent country of Ukraine. Eastern Europeans are free people, they are not russian backyard or a buffer zone They joined Nato to be secured from Russia nad they proved to do the right thing. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it. Stop talking about Eastern European countries as if their security concerns, experience with russian aggression over the centuries, will to be secured by Nato did not matter. It did.

  589. No paers were signed and Russia has not right to decide about other country's pact choices. Bs small talks behind the scene when somebody told something to someone is not an agreement.

  591. Nato is an excuse for Putin. Russia simply loves invading and annexing its neighbours so they wat to join Nato to be secured. There was no written agreement not exnd. Who does Russia think it is to decide about other countries pact choices? Eastern Europeans wanted to be secured by Nato becuase Russia has never been a friendly neighbour. And they were right.

  592. USA is not annexing while Russia keeps invading and annexing non Nato members so Nato exists for a reason and all those countries joined or want to jon to be secured. Russia has never been a friendly neighbour. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to demand anything. It is poor weak cheap gas station which can not stand it has nothing to say anymore. Nato is an excuse for Putin. Putin wants Ukraine.

  600. Who is Russia to decide about its neighbour's pact choices, political path or any other agenda? Sto talking about Russia's neighbours as if their voice and will to be secured by Natto did not matter in all of this. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Russia has nothing to say. There was no written agreement and it was not Russia the one to decide about independent country's path. Era of spheres of influence is over. Russia is anything but super power. We are not Russia's puppets or a buffer zone. We joined Nato because it was our free wll. Nobody forced us to do so exept for our lack of trust in Russia. It is called own experience. We did not have to ask Russia for its permission. We do not care what Russia's demands are. We are done with Putin's paranoia and excuses. He simply wants to annex his neighbour's land and needs excuses. Nato is an excuse. Why did not Putin invade Finland?

  615. Nato expansion is an excuse for Putin. Putin wants Ukraine. Russia has always been invading and annexing its neighbours. USSR is gone but Russia still thinks in owns Eastern Europe. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to have anything to say when it comes to tsose independent countries pact choices. If Russia was a good neighbour, many former Warsaw pact countries would have no need to join Nato to be safe and secured. Putin hates Nato because he knows he can not invade and annex Nato member neighbours. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Did Putin wake up yesterday? Ukraine is not russian backyard. Deal with it. Putin uses Nato expansion as an excuse to annex Ukraine. All the rest is bs. Joining Nato is not made by force while being Warsaw pact member was not something Russia's neighbours asked for.m
    1
  616. Joining Nato it's a choice while being Russia's neighbor is a bad luck. Nobody forces anybody to join Nato. If your country borders Russia staying out of Nato is like an invitation for Putin to annex your land. It's like blaming a victim for calling the police. Russia does not own eastern Europe!
    1
  617. Russia is not Eastenr Europe's master to decide about other country's pact choice. Non Nato according to Putin means "easy to invade because nobody would help them". Putin could invade non Nato Ukraine only.

  620. War in Ukraine was never about Nato expansion. Nato is an excuse for Putin. Putin simply wants to annex Ukraine. He does not consider Ukraine to be a real state. Al the rest is an excuse. Ukraine is not even Nato member country and had no chance to join in the nearest future.

  627.  @krevetka9744  Who cares what cheap gas station of Russia says? Who is Russia to demand any special treatment? It's anything but Super power and Russias are the only one not to get it yet. Russia's security concerns are Putin's paranoia and excuses to invade. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades and never invaded Russia. It's an excuse. Russia was Nato's partner for years. West has been treating Russia like a special need baby. We are done with Russia's demands. Does Russia care about its neighbor's security concerns and right to decise on their own? I guess not. Russia never had any respect for its smaller neighbors and thinks it owns them. Ukraine and Georgia have their concerns too. It's not soviet backyard anymore. Putin hates Nato because all he can do is to invade and annex non Nato neighbors. Russia loves expandng West by invadng its neighbors while Nato exansion it's a choice to join the pact and is not made by force. If Russia was a good neighbor, ther ewould be no need to join Nato. Stop blaming a victim for calling the police.
    1
  628.  @krevetka9744  If your country borders Russia neutral is pure utopia. It's an invitation for Russia "Feel free to invade and annex us" All Putin can do is to invade non Nato country Putin does not even consider Ukraine as an independent state. He says Ukrainians are "little Russians"> He sais "The collapse of USSR was the biggest tragedy of XX century" and it says a lot about his state of mind. This war is not abot Nato. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Is Ukraine any different than other Russia's neighbors like Poland or former soviet reublic of Lithuania? Nato never invaded a country with nukes. It's an excuse for Putin. Ukraine is not soviet backyard, their pact choices are up to them. Nobody forces them to join West exept for Russia's crimes on their soil over the years.I am not a fan of few things Nato did but t's no justification for Russia's crimes. I am not sorry for Talibs, I am not sorry for Miosevic, I am not sorry for Saddam. These are all dictatorships. Russia was G8 member despite Russia is nowhere near to economic power. This is a special treatment. Stop thinking Russia is a super power. It's not. USSR is gone. Russia has nothing to say. Russia's nuke threats are getting boring. We are used to it. Nobody is afraid anymore.

  645. War in Ukraine s not about Nato. Ukraine has no nukes and is not even a member of Nato. Russia is annexing. USA did ot annex Cuba while Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. Putin needs bs excuses to justify his crimes.

  646. USSR is gone Russia still loves invading and annexing its neighbours so Nato exists for a reeason. Eastern Europeans want weak Russia as well and you can not blame them after all they have been through becuase of Russia's greed.

  656.  @Gandalf98  Russia is the one to put a gut to Eastern Europe's head for decadec. What about their safety concerns? If all your neighbours are afraid of you and don't want to have anyting in common with you any more, it means YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

  657. So much bs in one post. Are you a 5 years old child? Who is Russia to decide about other country's pact choices? Russia does not own Eastern Europe. USSR is gone and Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard. Putin blames his victims for their will to be secured by Nato. Russia is neither super power nor a special need baby and Nato expansion is simply excuse for Putin. He knows all he can do is to invade non Nato members. Russia simply loves invading and annexing. Stop blaming a victim for asking for help.

  658. @Anthony M There was no agreement not to expand. There was written agreement signed by Russia in 1994 that Ukraine would give up its nukes and Russia was supposed to respect Ukraine's independence and borders.
    1
  659.  @rogeroeyen  Bs small talk behind the scene when somebody told something to someone off the record is not an agreement by any means. Budapest Memorandum was written agreement signed by Russa and broke by Russia and that is all you should care about.
    1
  660. Nato never promised not to expand and Russia has nothing to say because Russia's neighbours decide on their own about their political path and pact choices and Russia is not their master to tell them what they can or can not do. There was no written agreement. Besides Nato is simply exuse for Putin. He wants to annex Ukraine. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it.

  661. Nato never promised not to expand and Russia had no right to demand such a thing becuase Russia does not own Eastern Europe.

  662.  @ttuliorancao  Russia so called security concerns are just excuses to justify his sick actions and war cimes. Nato never attacked Russia. It's Russia who kees invading its neighbours. Eastern Europe has real safety concerns. Russia one is just Putin's paranoia.
    1
  663.  @peterwallis4288  We expect you to wake up and sto being naive. It's easy to be naive and pro russian when you have no common border with Russia. We don't want you westerners to fight "for us". You just still don't get people of Ukraine fight for your freedom and western values as well. If you think its only about Eastern Europe or just about Ukraine you are ignorant. BTW I am not Ukrainian myself.
    1
  664. And one more thing. There is no "compromise" when it comes to country's independence and sovereignty. It's easy to post such bs drinking cofee in western Europe. Would you give up yours? I don't thinks so but it's so easy for you to tell Ukrainians to give up theirs because all you care about is lower energy bill
    1
  665.  @peterwallis4288  Tell it to Putin. He started it. Do you expect People of Ukraine to give up their independence because of "death and dectruction"? They are defending themselves It's not about Nato. Joining Nato it's an excuse for Putin. Dictators need excuses. Putin hates and loves Ukraine at the same tme He is obssesed. It's not about giving up Nato's membership idea "and Putin will calm down" I's about Putin being sick and about Russia's imperialic state of mind.
    1
  666.  @peterwallis4288  Provoke Russia? Why should we care what Russia thinks or wants? Ukraine is an independent state. It's not Russia's backyard. It's the victim you should have understanding for, not the agressor. Ukraine as an independent state is free to decide what pact it choses. It's none of Russia's business. Stop acting like Putin's paid troll. Ruble is worthless. .

  667. Russia is a dictatorship, often at war inside and outside of Russia so Russia had no chance to join Nato.

  670. Russia is not a special need baby to demand anything and Nato is bs excuse for Putin to invade and annex Ukraine. It is not a reason. Eastern Europeans are not Russia's slaves or a buffer zone. Nato owes Russia nothing. Eastern Europans joined Nato to be secured and Russia is not their master to tell them they coundn't .
    1
  671. And who is Russia to decide about it? Countries of Eastern Europe owe Russia nothing because Russia is not their master and Putin is not their president.

  672. There was no such promise. Russia has othing to say when it comes to other country's pact choices.

  673. There was no written agreement not to expand. Countries apply to join Nato with their own free will and Russia is not the one to decide about other country's pact choices.
    1
  674.  @SpoPix  And one last thing. USSR may be gone but Russia proved it will never change. Russia is was an will be a threat to its neighbours so Nato exists for a reason. Many former Warsaw pact countries joined Nato and Russia's behavoiur proved them right to do so. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it. All Putin can do is to invade non Nato neighbors and he still fails. Putin acts like an abusive former husband who blames his wife for calling the police and filing for divorce. USSR is gone but Putin's state of mind is still soviet. Nato is an excuse. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. Lack of Nato membership is an invitation for utin to invade. Neutrality is pure utopia if you have such a neighbor as Russia. You will become Russia's victim sooner or later.

  678. nato never promised USSR or Russia anything and who is Russia to decide about other indeendent country's pact choices? Is Russia a super power or a special need baby that we should even care? It is not. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Period.

  679. There was no such promise on Nato's side. No papers signed, Putin can not stand USR is gone, Eastern Europeans are free and Putin has nothing to say when it comes to their pact choices and political path. You keep forgetting Eastern Europeans are free people, they are not Russia's slaves or a buffer zone. Their safety and will matter the most. Why should we always care about Putin's paranoia and excuses? Nato is an excuse for Putin to justify his crimes. War in Ukraine is not about Nato, it's about Putin's huge ego to bring USSR power back. He has already failed and he knows it.

  691. It does not matter what West and Ukraine did or did not do. Nato is bs excuse Putin always needs excuses to justify his own greed and crimes. War in Ukraine is not about Nato membership for Ukraine. It is about Ukraine and Putin's ego. Putin wants Ukraine. He wants to annex Ukraine. He wants russian empire back and he knows it is impossible without Ukraine in it. Stop blaming a victim for defending itself. Russia is not a special need baby to demand anything. Putin hates Nato because he knows he can invade non Nato neighbours only. Russia loves annexing its non Nato neighbours just because it can. It was never about Nato.

Russia is weak poor state where milions of people have never been abroad and have no toilet at home. Russia men die at the age of 64 on average. Russia's gdp sucks. Many thigs suck apart from Moscow and StPetersburg. Russia isa nything but super power and must stop acting as such. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Eastern Europeans joined both EU and Nato instead of Russia for a reason. Russia has nothing to offer exept for poverty and more crimes.

  699.  @arty5876  USSR is gone but Putin's state of mind is still soviet and Russia's neighbours history tells them not to trust Russia. Centuries of wars, geocine, communist regime and so on. Russia will never change. Russia has a break and always come back for more. It's Russia whch created Putin, not the opposite. Chechenya war took place in the 90's. It was a geocine. Russia was is and will be pure evil.

  700.  @arty5876  And it was Yeltsin who was responsible for first Chechenya war. IT WAS A GEOCINE, Russia was Russia is and Russia will be evil. Russia has a break from time to time but Russia's neighbours exerience tells them not to trust Russia. They were so damn right.

  701. So much bs in one post. Nothing forced my country to join Nato exept for our own 300 history and experience with russian crimes on our soil. Joining Nato is not made by force while being Warsaw pact country and Russia's victim was not something we asked for.
    1
  702.  @tasospanagiotou7823  government of Montenegro was elected by people of Montenegro so what is your point? Being Warsaw pact member was made by force. Austria is eu member and non NATO country. Finland and Sweden were neutral until russia invaded Ukraine.

  705.  @tasospanagiotou7823  My late grandma was crying with tears of join when we joined Nato. She did not need referendum. And why should we care what Russia always wants? Is Russia a special need baby? USSR is gone but Russia proved not to be changed at all. Eastern Europeans have been fighting for their freedom for ages. Stop pretending russian leaders let them go because they were humanitarian once. Russia is always the same. Russia thinks it owns Eastern Europe but guess what? It does not. Being Warsaw pact member was lack of respect for Eastern Europeans because we were forced to live on the bad side of the Iron Courtain.
    1
  706.  @tasospanagiotou7823  They changed their mind but whose fault is that? Isn't it Russia's criminal behaviour? The only one which has no respect for Eastern Europeans and other Russia's neighbours is Russia itself. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato.

  707.  @dmitryletov8138  Putin wants to annex Ukraine, He does not want Ukrainian language and culture to exist. All the rest is bs excuse to justify Putin's greed.

  708. Ukraine is not Putin's backyard and he can't deal with it. Did you ask people of Ukraine what they want or you just care about Putin's sick ideas to regain long lost USSR power back?

  709. It did not. And who is Russia to have anything to say when it comes to other country's pact choices? Eastern Europe is not russian backyard Those countries did not have to ask Russia for its ermission. It it not Russia's buffer zone. There was no ritten agreement that you can show me. Nato is an excuse for Putin. Stop blaming a victim for wanting to be secured.

  710. There was no promise so stop spreading lies. USSR is gone but Russians still love invading and annexing Eastern Europe so Nato exst for a reason. Russia does not own Eastern Europe.

  713.  @Ulfur6113  russan and peacekeepers in one sentence do not match. Eastern Europeans owe Russia nothing. They joined Nato because it was their choice and they really did not have to ask Russia for its permission or care about Russia's sensitive feelings. They joined Nto because of Russia. They wanted to be finally secured. They were right. Putin hates Nato because he can not invade Nato country.

  714.  @dmitryletov8138  Ukraine is not Russia's backyard or buffer zone and Nato expansion is only another excuse for Putin to invade and annex his neighbour's land. War in Ukraine was never about Nato. It was about Putin's sick legacy huge ego and greed. Putn wants Ukraine. Who is Russia to demand any special treatment?

  717.  @spidey5324  Nato is at Russia's border for decades Did Putin wake up yesterday? Ukraine is not in Nato. Poland and Lithuania are Nato members and Russia's neighbours and so what? Nato is an excuse. Putin wants Ukraine. If Ukraine had beed in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it. Finland wants to join Nato and has the biggest land border with Russia. Did Putin invade Finland? No. He invaded Ukraine because he wants Ukraine. Putin needs excuses to justify his sick idea to annex Ukraine.

  720.  @yanyeetan1727  The fact is Russia has always been invading and annexing its neighbours and Nato is an excuse. Many former Warsaw pact contres joined Nato as quicly as they could because they knew Russia would never change and they were right. Russia keeps annexing just because it can. There rest is bs excuse. Putin knows he can not invade Nato member neighbours like Poland or Lithuania which joned Nato more or less 20 years ago but he can invade non Nato member of Ukraine and Russia still occupies 20% of Georgia which is non Nato member the same as Ukraine. It was never about Nato. It was always about imperialistic Russia which thinks it still owns Eastern Europe. USSR is gone. Russia has not changed at all.

  721.  @feodosiyaonline1555  And did you ask yourself why so many former Warsaw pact countries decided to join Nato instead of Russia? I will give you a clue. Russia has never been a friendly neighbour. They had no trust Russia would change and they were right. Russia is neither super power nor a special ned baby to treat its neighbours as its buffer zone. Nato exansion is an excuse for Putin. Russia smply loves invading and annexing just because it can. Eastern Europe's history with Russia proves it right. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. He knows he can not invade Nato memebr neighbour. All the rest is bs excuse to justify Putin's sick ideas and sick legacy.

  722.  Stormtrooper  It is Putin who has no respect for human live. He treats russian people as his cannon foddder. They fight in the name of Putin's ego. Russia has always been invading and annexing its smaller neighbours. PUTUN USES NATO AS AN EXCUSE. It was never about Nato and there is no justification for a geocine committed by Russians in Ukraine. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. It is not about Nato and never was.

  723.  @kutya9407  Ukraine had no will before 2014 when Putin annexed Crimea and had no chance to join after 2014. Putin had neutral Ukraine and invaded anywa because he wants Ukraine. If Russia does not like Nato at her borders Russia shouls stop giving her neighbors good reasons to join. Why did Finland join Nato and why Putin did ot care? Because Nato is an excuse. Putin blames Ukraine for calling the olice. He wants Ukraine as a part of Russia and he could invade non Nato neighbor only. Eastern Europe movedon. It is not soviet backyard anymore. Their pact choice is up to them, none of Putin's decission. Deal with it. Nato never signed any paper not t expand that you can show me.

  724.  @babayaga6321  Putin does not want Ukraine in Nato because Nato member Ukraine would be impossible for him to invade and overrun. He blames his victims for calling the police.

  725.  @babayaga6321  Neutra for Putin means "I will invade you because I can". Ukraine had no chance to join anyway with her Crimea and Donbas mess in progress.

  726.  @babayaga6321  Who is Russia to decide about Ukraine's path? USSR is gone. Russia is anything but a super power. Why should others always care about russian greed, excuses and Putin's wet dreams about restoring russian empire?

  727.  @nohandler1493  Nato never signed any paper not to expand and Russia is not Eastern Europe's master anymore to demand anything. Deal with it.

  729.  @feodosiyaonline1555  Show me the paper? When was it signed? Where? I wait. It never happened. Bs small talk is bs small talk. Stop complaining Eastern Euroeans are free people and do not have to ask Russia for her permission. They have their own security concerns and that is why they joined Nato as quicly as they could.

  730.  @johnmcentegart007  Baltic States are also former soviet republics. They joied Nato, they border Russia and Russia does not own them. Russia is not ther master to tell them they could not. Putin wants Ukraine as a part of Russia and Nato is just an excuse, not a reason. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not been able to invade it. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato and Putin invaded anyway. Because he could. And wanted to. It is about Putin's legacy and his egoo.
    1
  731.  @johnmcentegart007  Nato is not a threat for Russia. It is a threat for Russia's greed. Putin can invade non Nato neighbors only. Joining Nato is not made my force. Eastern Europeans asked for it because they were fed up of russian influence. It is called own experience. Warsaw pact was the only alliance to invade its own members when they tried to leave soviet "paradise".

  737. It is Russia which keeps invading its neighbours, not the opposite so Russia should look in the mirror and stop playing the victim card. eastern Europeans are not Russia's slaves and do not have to ask Russia for its permission.

  738.  @republicofsrpska6904  Why should I be sorry for Serbia for example? Milosevic was as sick mind as Putin is today. Nato did not bomb Belgrade because it was bored. It was all because of Milosevic sick geocine ideas. Serbia must stop playing the victim card. Afghanistan was is and ill be messed up thanks to Talibs. It is russian general who turned Alepo into ashes and is is Assad who did use chemical weapon on his own people. Putin does not consider Ukraine to be a real state. He does not want Ukrainian culture to exist. Can you see a difference? It is a genocine. It is not about number. It is about goal.
    1
  739. Russia's neighbours ask to join Nato with their own free will because Russia was never a friendly neighbour and they want to be safe and secured. Eastern Europe does not trust Russia for a reason. It is Russia which keeps invading ad annexuing them, not the opposite. Nato is only another excuse for Putin.
    1
  740. What make you think Russia keeps its promises? Russia has to right to decide about other countries pact choices anymore.
    1
  741. Russia wants Ukraine outside of Nato because Russia can not invade Nato members. End of story. Putin wants Ukraine. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades and Putin did not invade Finland, Poland or Lithuania. Putin wants Ukraine as a part of Russia. Nato is an excuse, not a reason.
    1
  742. @ USA did not say "Cuba is not a real country". And Ukraine is not even close to Nato membership. Putin invaded anyway. Because he could and wanted to. He wants Ukraine. Nato is an excuse only. Thanks to Nato unbrella Putin can not invade and annex as much as he would like to.
    1
  743. @ Ukraine had no will to join Nato before 2014 and no chance to join after that. Putin invaded anyway. Because he could. He has always wanted to restore russian emire. He wants Ukraine as a part of Russia and Nato is bs excuse. He invaded beause he did think it would be easy 3 days job. He was wrong. Will of Ukrainian people is not a coup. Stop seeing US involvement in every Russia's failure.
    1
  744. @ Ukraine is imperfect but still democratic country unlike Russsia which has the same man in power for over 20 years without transparent and fair voting. Russia's behaviour is the only reason why so many Eastern European countries turn their back on Russia. It is funny how Russians see USA in every russian failure intead of looking in the mirror. Yanukovich refused to sign deal with EU, was voted out by Ukrainian Parliament,lost support of his own party and run away. Stop comparing USA to Russia all the time. USA is a super ower. Russisa is not. Russia's gd is 17 times smaller than EU's. Russia lost the Cold War, Eastern Europe moved on long time ago and they owe Russia nothing. Get over it.

  745. Nato expansion is only excuse for Putin to invade and annex Ukraine. Putin wants Ukraine. USSR is gone but Russia still loves invading its neighbours so Nato exists for a reason.

  747. Who is Russia to decide about Eastern European countries pact choices? Those are all independent countries who decide on their own and they hate Russia for a reason. They are not Russia's buffer zone, Russia is not their master, USSR is gone and Russia is not a secial need baby to demand any special treatment. Deal with it. It is Russia which keeps invading and annexing its neighbours, not the oppposite so Russia must stop playing the victim card and look in the mirror. Nato is an excuse for Putin. He wants to annex Ukraine but he knows he can not invade and annex his neighbours who are Nato members.

  752.  @jeanniemaycrawford4466  I don't give a dmn about Russia's safety concerns as long as Russia thinks it's ok to invade its neighbours. Eastern Europe has its safety concerns too and has every right to be protected by pacts they joined.
    1
  753.  @jeanniemaycrawford4466  sure Eastern European countries had every right to join. They had a long history with USSR/Russia agression towards them. They joined Nato because they felt threatened and they were right. Stop being Putin's troll. Rubel hit the floor so it's not worth it anymore.
    1
  754. I am tired of russian excuses and whataboutism. It is no justification for Russia's crimes in Ukraine. f Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato to be secured. Putin blames his victims for calling the olice and asking for help. Russia must look in the mirror and stop playing the victim card.

  755. I don't give a damn about Russia's security concerns as long as Russia does not give a damn about its neighbours securty concerns and right to decide about their future. Eastern European countries are free countries. They are not Russsia's "Sphere of influance".

  759. Nato never promised not to expand. There was no written agreement. It is not made by force. Countries ask to join and it is up to those countries. Russia has nothing to say. USSR is gone. Russia is weak, poor cheap gas station and it does not own Easstern Europe.
    1
  760. There is no word about Eastern Europe's point of view in this material. It was our free will to join Nato as we were/are independent states and free to decide. We are not Putin's backyard. I don't give a damn about Putin's concerns. There is no justification for bombing women and children of an independent state. We joined Nato because we knew Russia well and we are free people and not ping pong ball. We don't need another Iron Courtain.

  761. There were no papers signed that you can show me. Bs small talk is not even verban agreement and who is Russia to demand anything when it comes to other country's pact choices? If Russia was a good neighbour, many former Warsaw pact countries would have no need to join Nato. They knew Russia, had no trust and they were right. Putin needs excuses. He does not want Ukraine to exist. It is a geocine.

  766. Did you ask yourself why so many countries, former Warsaw pact members and/or Russia's neighbours decided to join Nato with their own free will as uicly as they could? I will give you a clue. Because Russia was is and will be a threat. Russia wll never change and it is not a matter of one Putin in the office. It is Russia/USSR which created Putin, not the opposite. Power is the only language Russia cares about. Ukraine is not Russia's buffer or slave and we are done with utin's paranoia and excuses. Nato is an excuse for Putin. He blames his victims for asking for help.

  769. Wasn't what Russia did to Ukrainians and many other neighbours mean? There was no German-Russian friendship. It was businees. It's easy to be naive and blind if your country has no common border with Russia and no such experience with Russia's crimes like Russia's neigbours.

  772. Joining Nato is a choice, being Russia's puppet is not. Being Russia's pupet is made by force and that's why so many former soviet satelite states hate Russia and joined Nato as quicly as they could.
    1
  773.  @JBFD64  Ukraine is an independent state with free will to join every pact it wants and Russia has nothing to say because Ukraine is not Puton's toy or backyard. Joining Nato is not made by force unlike being Russia's satelite puppet state. First of all, Ukraine hs no nukes but even if...Having a weapon and using it are two differenent stories. Being at the door step does not mean the same as cross the border to attack. Nato never crossed Russia's borders.It's Russia who keeps invading it's neighbours. utin acts like an abusve former husband who can not stand his wfie filed for divorce and does not want to be hit anymore. Ukraine's government is up to Ukrainian people. Is geocine in Bucha committed by russian army something you are fine with? Raping children, killing and raping women? They will not tell you about it in russianstate media. UKRAINE's future is up to Ukraine. DAL WITH IT!

  774. There was no written agreement so stop spreading or believing russian fakes. Eastern Europeans are free, their pact choices are up to them, not up to Russia. They are not Russia's slaves or a buffer zone. Nato expansion is simply excuse for Putin. He wants to annex Ukraine and he needs excuses to justify his sick ideas. He does not even consider Ukraine to be a real state. All the rest are bs excuses for Putin. Who does Russia think it is with its Italy's gdp? Cheap gas station.

  785. Putin hates Nato because he knows he can not nvade and annex Nato member neighbours. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it. Nato is an excuse. Putin acts like an abusive husband who blames his wife for filing for divorce and caling the olice because she did not want to be hurt anymore. Serbia should stop playing the victim card. Nato did not bomb Serbia for fun or because Nato was bored. It did it because of Milosevic sick geocine ideas.

  786. It is still better to join Nato by its free will and be USA ally than being forces to be Warsaw pact members and puppet of USSR. Eastern Europe did not ask for it and joined Nato as quicly as it could. Eastern Europeans hate Russia for a reason and do not want to have anything in common with Russia anymore. Joining Nato is not made by force and Russia has no right to decide about other country's pact choices.

Russia did all of that to its neighbours now and in the ast as well. I don't give a damn about Russia's security concerns as long as Russia does not give a damn about other countries, their neighbours, right to decide about their own future on their own. If so many former USSR satelite states joined Nato it means Russia is the problem here. Nobody wants to be Russia's friend anymore exept for North Korea and puupet regime Belarus.

  825. Joining Nato was a choice while being Warsaw pact member was not. It was made by force and Eastern Europeans did not ask for it. It was the onlly alliance to invade its own members. Russia invades to annex. Putin says Ukraine is not a real country and Ukrainians are "little Russians" for him. Mexico would never join Russia in any kond of alliance. What for? What kind of bad neighbour USA would have to be to make Mexico Russia's ally. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato. Putin wants Ukraine and he knows he can nvade and annex non Nato neighbours only. Russia has never been a friendly neighbour. If Russia wasa good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato to be secured. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master anymoe. Russia is not a special need baby. It is not a super power either. USSR is gone. Russia still loves annexing just because it can.
    1
  826. Is Ukraine Nato member? No. Putin ivaded Ukraine because he wants Ukraine. Ukrainians had no will to join before 2014 so what is your point? Did you ask yourself why Russia's neighbors and former Warsaw pact countries joined Nato as quicly as they could? Because they were tired of Russia's on and off aggression and they wanted to be safe and secured. Russia is not their master to tell them they could not. Russia is the reason why Nato keeps expanding. Countries apply to join and it is none of Russia's decission. If Russia was a good neighbor, there would be no need to join Nato in order to be safe. Putin wants Ukraine. He could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Nato is just an excuse.

Russia has no right to decide about independent states pact choices and future. it's not Russia's backyard anymore. Joining Nato is a free will. Being Russia's neighbour is not.

Should Eastern European countries give up its freedom and safety becuase Russia wants it? Who cares? Russia is imperialistic criminal state and we owe nothing to Russia.
    1
  836.  @Voltaicz  Oh, REALLY? Nice joke
    1
  837. Nato expands just because Russia's neighbours sk for it. It is not made by force and Russia is not Eastern Europe's master to decide about its pact choices Russia is not a specail need baby to demand anything. Eastern Europe moved on long time ago.
    1
  838.  @Red-90  I am sick and tired of Russian whataboutism. What if what if what if. Fact matters. Russia did invade Ukraine> Nato is an excuse for Putin. This war was never about Nato. It was about Ukraine and Putin's ego.

  839.  @gchavb  None of Russia's bussines who Rusia's neighbours want to be allied with

  840. My country joined Nato in 1999 with a free will. Nobody forced us to join. We did it because we know Russia well enough.
    1
  841.  @elimlinrr6898  You keep reapiting the same BS about Cuba all over again. Who cares about Cuba? Different time and story. Russia has objects? How about stopping invading your neighbours with every excuse possible? Russia has no right to decide about independent state pact choices. Ukraine did not attack Russia, Nato did not attack Russia. Russia did attack Ukraine. Simle AF. Period
    1
  842.  @skydragon23101979  bs small talk means nothing and Eastern Euroeans did not have to ask Russia for her permission because Russia was not their master anymore. If Russia was a good neighbor,there would be no need to join Nato. It is none of Russia's decission.
    1
  843.  @skydragon23101979  Russia's concerns are Russia's excuses, greed and paranoia. Russia has the biggest nuclear arsenal on earth and who is Russia afraif of? Nato member state of Latvia? NON Nato Ukraine? Russia never cared for Eastern Europe's concerns and these are real. This is why they all run to Nato as quicly as possible. Russia proved them right to do so. Putin can invade non Nato neighbor only. How "brave"of him.
    1
  844.  @skydragon23101979  Russia's concerns or russian greed?
    1
  845.  @skydragon23101979  Also it is dumb not to join Nato if you live next door to Russia and have such a terrible experience with this country.
    1
  846.  @skydragon23101979  So how come Putin invaded non Nato neighbors only? He can not face article 5 of Nato and he knows it. Ukraine is not even Nato member and that is why Putin invaded. Because if Ukraine had bee in Nato, he would have never been abe to invade and overrun Ukraine. Poland joined Nato in 1999. Did Russia invade? Finland has the biggest land border wth Russia. Did Putin care when Finland joined? No. Lithuania is, the same as Ukraine, former soviet republic. It used to be a part of USSR (unlike Poland and Finland). Did Putin invade? No. Because he can not. And he wants Ukraine. Nato is an excuse. It is about Putin's legacy, not about Nato. USA did not claim Cuba is "not real". USA did not try to get rid of other country's language and culture unlike Putin so your whataboutism is invalid.

  847.  @yordan23ivanov  Nobody annexed Iraq. Russia invades in order to annex.
    1
  848. Bs small talk and no paper signed. Besides Eastern Europeans owe Russia nothing. Russia is not their master anymore. Nato is bs excuse for Russia. Always was.
    1
  849. Nato is an excuse for Putin. Blaming other countries for their desire to join Nato is like blaming a victim for calling the police because she did not want to be hurt anymore. Putin wants to annex Ukraine and Nato is an excuse for him.
    1
  850. Exactly. Why should we always care what Russia wants? Russia is not eastern Europe's master. Eastern Europeans have their own agenda, safety concerns, voice and will.
    1
  851. Wrong. USSR is gone but Russia never changed into a peacegful neighbor so Nato exists for a reason. Names do change. Russia is always the same and Eastern Europe is not russian backyard. get over it. Start respecting Eastern Europeans, their agenda, their will and their voice in all of this. Just because Trump is naive it does not mean we can trust Russia.

  852.  @mauriceconz  So you blame Poland for Austrian painter's greed and sick ideas?

  853.  @mauriceconz  Do you know what alliances and pacts are for? And how does it work? For a case like that one.
    1
  854.  @mauriceconz  Putin does not care about that either.
    1
  855. USSR gone or not. Russia has no right to decide about other countries pact choices. Those Eastern countries have their safety concerns too. They had every right to be looking for safety and protection knowing their history with USSR/Russia
    1
  856. Russia's security concerns are Putin's paranoia while Ukraine's security concerns are real.
    1
  857. First of all who does Russia think it is to tell other independent states what pacts they can or can not join? Second of all. It was not up to Russia. Joining Nato was a choice made by every independent state on its own. Russia has nothing to say. Deal with it. You will not decide about others above their heads. I don't care about Russia safety concerns as long as Russia does not give a damn about other countries. Stop invading your neighbours just because they don't want you to be their "daddy" anymore.
    1
  858. Nato expnsion is only excuse for Putin to invade and annex Ukraine.
    1
  859. Ukraine has no nukes. USA did not annex Cuba. Ukraine is not even in Nato so these are all bs excuses for utin to justify his sick idea to annex Ukraine. He wants Ukraine. It was never about Nato. Putin knows if Ukraine had been in Nato, he would have not invaded it.
    1
  860.  @menschkeit1  Putin does not want Ukraine to exist and he wants to annex it to restore USSR glory back. All the rest are bs excuses for Putin.
    1
  861.  @menschkeit1  Russia is always anything but liberator, peacemaker and Putin is anything but trustwoth and humanitarian leader. Stop spreading bs. Russia would invade anyway. It was just a show to tell others "Look., we have tried, we are the good one here". Well the history of Eastern Europe and its relations with criminal state of Russia says otherwise.
    1
  862.  @menschkeit1  Isn't history of Eastern Europe and its relations with Russia not an evidence for you?
    1
  863.  @menschkeit1  It is. This is what Russia is all about.
    1
  864. Russia is not a bear. Russia is cheap gas station. It is very poor state which can not stand USSR is gone and it has nothing to say in Eastern Europe anymore. Nato never invaded Russia. Ukraine did not invade Russia. Russia keeps invading its neighbours to annex their land so Nato exists for a reason. Nato is an excuse for Putin to justify his war crimes. It is just an excuse. It was never about Nato. It was always about Russia's imperialism, greed, Putin's ego, sick legacy and exuses. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato to be secured.
    1
  865. Nobody cares what Putin says or wants anymore. His days are numbered.
    1
  866. There is no paper signed anyway so who cares.
    1
  867. Exactly. Joining Nato it's a choice, it's a will, being Russia's neighbour and puppet is not.

  868. Russia is cheap gas station and anything but superpower so we do not care about Putin's paranoia.
    1
  869. There is no paper signed that anyone can show me. Bs small talk means nothing.

  870. USA is not annexing Mexico whle Putin does not want Ukrainian nation to exist. Nato is only bs excuse to justify Putin's crimes in front of russian people. Russia loves invading and annexing just becuase it can.
    1
  871. Who invaded Ukraine? Why did Putin invade NON NATO country of Ukraine? Nato is an excuse, not a reason for Putin. He wants Ukraine as a part of Russia.
    1
  872. Nato expansion is bs excuse for Putin to justify his sick idea to invade and annex Ukrane.
    1
  873. Russa always needs excuses and blames her victims for calling the police. Eastern Europeans are not Russia's slaves anymore. They owe Russia nothing. Bs small talk behind the scene is not official agreement. Putin wants Ukraine. He could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Nato is bs excuse.
    1
  874. Nato is simply an excuse for Putin. If Ukraine had beed in Nato, utin would have not invaded it. putin blames his victims for calling the police. He should look in the mirror. Russia was is and will be a threat for Eastern Europe and with no respect for its smaller neighbours. It has been the same for hundreds of years.
    1
  875. Those countries joined Nato not becaue of Chechenya war. They applied much earlier. They did it because of their own, sometimes 300 years old experience with russian imperialism. It was not matter of past 40 years. It was much deeper. They knew Russia would never change for better and they were right.
    1
  876.  @tasospanagiotou7823  You keep spreading the same bs over and over again. West has been treating Russia like a special need baby for way too long and it did not pay off. We are done. Russia must stop blaming others for its own crimes, failures, mistakes and weakness and look n the mirror. We owe Russia nothing. And Russia's neighbours did the best thing possible by joining Nato because their security concerns are real and do matter while russian concerns are only Putin's paranoia. Russia is not their master anymore. Deal with it.
    1
  877. Russia's security concerns are Putin's paranoia and excuses to justify his sick idea to annex Ukraine. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist and He knows if Ukraine had been in Nato, he would have not invaded it. Russia's neighbbours and their security concerns do matter and these are real conccerns becuase it is Russia which keeps invading and annexing its neighbours, not the oposite. Russia is not a special need baby. Russia needs excuses for its imperialism and greed.
    1
  878. Thi is bs. Besides Eastern European countries joined both EU and Nato with their own free will because they knew Russia, had no trust and they were right. Russia was is an will be imperialistic state with no respect for its smaller neighbours. Stop taking about Eastern Europeans as if their voice and wil d not matter in all of this. It did. And they did not have to ask Russia for its permission. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master. Deal with it.

  879. I am from Central Europe and I can tell you one thing. Being Warsaw pact member was made by force while being Nato member was a choice

  880.  @simonh6371  USSR is gone but Russia still loves invading and annexing its neighbours so Nato exists for a reason Stop blaming a victim for calling the police.
    1
  881.  @peterwallis4288  Whatever because Nato never promised anything and owes nothing to Russia. Russia's neighbours decide on their own because their safety and agenda do matters. They are not Russia's buffer zone or a ping pong ball
    1
  882.  @peterwallis4288  They are not. And they fight not to be. Russia still do not understand its time of glory is over and Russia's neighbours hate Russia fo a reason. USSR is gone. You can not force anybody to love Russia. Besides Russia is neither super power nor a special need baby to demand anything.

  883.  @charmelen2  Do you know what is Russia's biggest problem? Claming that everything that used to be russian/soviet at any point in history belongs to Russia forever and ever and pretending super power while being only cheap gas station with Kalifornia's gdp. Turn RT chanel off.
    1
  884.  @charmelen2  Russian history bokks it's matrix. You keep spreading lies when it suits your narrative. I am not even Ukrainian. You are stucked in the past to justify your leader's sick ego. It has always been the same.

  885.  @johnnquansah  My country's own history with imperialistic state of Russia is more than you can imagine.
    1
  886. It is Russia which keeps invading ts neighbours so they join Nato to be secured, not the opposite. Nato never invaded Russia and would never invade a country with nukes. Putin needs excuses to justify his sick idea to invade and annex Ukraine.
    1
  887.  @ifirespondiamstupid7750  We do not care about Putin's greed, his ego hs paranoia and excuses. Like it or not Russia is not a super power. USSR is gone. Russia has nothing to say.

  888. Russia still keeps invadng its neighbours if they have no Nato protection so Nato exists for a reason and owes nothing to criminal state of Russia.
    1
  889. My country of Poland joined Nato in 1999. Nobody forced us to do so exept for Poland's own experience with Russia over the centuries.
    1
  890. War in Ukraine is an excuse for Putin. If Russia was a good neighbour, many former Warsaw pact countries would have no need to join Nato to be secured. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have not invaded it. All Putin can do is to invade non Nato neighbours and he still fails. Stop blaming a victim for asking for help.
    1
  891. BS. Never believe a guy who is in power for over 20 years, kills his opponents and never keeps his deals.

  892. And who s Russia to decide about other independent country's pact choices? Is Russia a super power? No. It is cheap gas station. Russia is not a special need baby to demand anything.
    1
  893. Like Russia is the one that keeps any promises? Give me a break. Second of all. It's none of Russia's business what independent countries decide to do. It's up to those countries. Russia is not their daddy
    1
  894.  @mobilelegend1458  Russa always needs excuses and blames her victims. Russia is not a specal need country and Eastern Europeans did what was the best for them. Putin can not invade Nato members.

  895. You know nothing about Polish soul.

  896.  @fredericdodin3015  Why would Mexico do it? Russia invades non Nato neighbors just because she can. In the name of Putin's ego so who is a threat to who in all of this?
    1
  897. It's not Russia's business because independent Ukraine is not Russia's backyard. Simple AF.
    1
  898. There are no papers signed that you can show me and Russia has nothing to say when it comes to other independent country's pact choices.
    1
  899. Who s Russia to decide about Eastern European countries, their pact choices, agenda and safety? Russia has nothing to say. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Nato is an excuse. He wants to annex Ukraine. It is about his greed and huge ego.
    1
  900. USSR is gone but Russia still loves invading its neighbors and thinks it owns them. So Nato does exist for a reason. There was no agreement not to expand. Who does Russia think it is to decide about it? A special need baby?
    1
  901. Ukraine had no will to join before 2014 and no chance to join after 2014.Putin invaded anyway Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Nobody invades nuclear powers. Putin wants Ukraine as a part of russian empire. It is not about Nato. It is about Putin's greed, his ego and legacy. Nato is an excuse. Russia always needs excuses and has always been Eastern Europe's master. Russia always blames her victims.
    1
  902.  @Xover112  Russia keeps annexing. Joining Nato was a choice whlie being Warsaw pact country and Russia's neighbour never was.Russia must look in the mirror and stop lookng for excuses for Putin's huge ego and sick ideas to annex his neighbour. Nato is just an excuse.
    1
  903. Ukraine has no nukes, Ukraine is not even Nato member and had no chance to join. Russia invaded Ukraine because Putin wants to annex Ukraine and Nato is bs excuse to justify his crimes. USA does not invade to annex Russia does. USA did not invade Cuba. Putin simply wants russian empire back and he knows he can not invade Nato members. If Ukraine had been in Nato, Putin would have never invaded Ukraine.

  904. Russia is not Ukraine's master and Ukraine's pact choice is up to Ukrainians. Russia has nothing to say. Ukraine is not your backyard anymore.  @Cat777lovekvd

  905. So independent country has no right to take care of its safety because Putin "will be angry"?

  906. Putin is anything but humanitarian. He loves annexing and invading his neighbours in the name of his own ego greed and paranoia. Nato is an excuse for him.
    1
  907. The bigger joke was "Russia had something to say when it comes to other country's pact choices".
    1
  908.  @charmelen2  Eastern Europeans are free. They are not Russia's buffer zone or puppets War in Ukraine is not about Nato. t is about Putn's ego and his sick idea to annex his neighbour. Putin simply needed excuses to justify his crimes in front of russian people.
    1
  909. There was no written agreement and even if there was it is no justifcation for Russia's crimes in Ukraine. Russia does not own Eastern Europe.
    1
  910. It is Russia which keeps invading and annexing its neighbours, not the opposite so common sense on Russia's neighbours side was to join Nato as uicly as they could.
    1
  911. I am suprised many people still do not understand or care about Eastern Europe's voice and will in all of this.
    1
  912. There is no paper signed not to expand that you can show me. Putin is not the president of Poland, Chechia and so on and it is none of Russia's decissions what other independent state's pact choice is. Stop acting as if we owed Russia something. We owe Russia nothing. Russia is not a super power. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master, Russia is not a special need baby.
    1
  913. Nobody cares about Russia's fears anymore. Russia is poor pathetic state and world's biggest cancer. We are done with Putin's paranoia
    1
  914. Nato does not expand by force. Countries apply to join with their own free will unlike Warsaw pact. Why did they join? Because Russia keeps invading and annexing its non Nato neighbours just because it could so Nato exists and expands for a reason. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need to join Nato in order to be secured. Blaming Nato expansion is like blaming a victim for calingthe police because she did not want to be hurt anymore. Russia has nothing to say and can not decide about other country's pact choice.Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants to annex Ukraine. He did it because he could. He could do it because Ukraine is not Nato member. Nato is an excuse for Russia's greed.
    1
  915. And he failed.

  916. Was Baker US president? Is Russia the master of Eastern Europe to decide about it? Where was the treaty signed and who signed it? When was that?
    1
  917.  @michaellattimore876  It is hard for me to caunt how many times I have already pead this invalid whataboutism. Why would Mexico or Canada want to do it in the first lace if USA is a good neighbor and their biggest tradng partner? They have no reason. War in Ukraine is about Putin's legacy. He does not even consider Ukraine to be "real" and he wants it as a part of Russia. Nato is an excuse. Besides, Ukraine had no chance to join. Putin invaded because he did think it would be easy to overrun non Nato Ukraine. USA did not want to annex Canada. USA did not claim anything like "Canada/Mexico/whatever other country/ is not real".
    1
  918.  @michaellattimore876  Your whataboutism is invalid. First of all Ukraine had no chance to join and Putin invaded anyway because he could invade non Nato Ukraine. He wants Ukraine. Mexico and Canada have no reason to join Russia or China in any alliance because USA is a good neighbor unlike Russia so they have nothing to worry about unlike Ukraine.
    1
  919.  @michaellattimore876  Is Ukraine Nato member? No. Does Canada and Mexico have any reason to join Russia? No. So what is your point?
    1
  920. And nobody made an efford to ask Eastern European countries what their voice and will was in all of this Eastern Europe is not Russia's backyard so we are done with Putin's paranoia and excuses. Nato is an excuse for Putin to invade Ukraine.
    1
  921.  @simonh6371  If your country borders Russia neutrality is pure utopia. We had no Nato referendum but my late Polish grandma cried with tears of joy when Poland joined Nato over 20 years ego. Putin acts like an abusive former husband who can not stand his wife filed for divorce and called the police because she did not want to be hurt anymore. Russia does ot own Eastern Europe. Russia's security concerns are Putin's paranoia and Putin's excuses to invade and annex his neighbours. War in Ukraine was never about Ukraine's Nato membership. It was about Putin's ego. He wants Ukraine and he does not want Ukrainian language and culture to exist. All the rest is bs excuse to justify russian crimes. Russia's neighbours have safety concerns, agenda and rights as well. Stop asking what was promised to Russia and ask yourself why so many former Warsaw pact countries do not want to have anything i common with Russia anymore. Eastern Europe is not Russia's backyard or a buffer zone and Russia is not its master.
    1
  922. Russia is not a super power and Eastern Europeans are free people, they are not soviet slaves anymore. Cold war era is over. USSR is gone. Deal with it. Russia has nothing to say. Russia is cheap gas station with pathetic gdp.

  923. Eastern Europe was not Russia's backyard anymore. They wanted to join Nato and did it with free will. Nobody asked them if they wanted to be USSR satelite states before. IT was made BY FORCE.

  924. Rusia still loves invading and annexing its neighbours so Nato exists for a reason
    1
  925.  @ABSDEFRD  For most of Russia's neighbours Russia is anything but peaceful and you must be ignorant when it comes to Eastern Europe's history and experience with russian imperialism over the centuries if you do not know it. USA is not annexing somebody else's land while Russia does it over and over again in the name of its leader's ego.
    1
  926. Putn needs excuses to justify his sick idea, huge ego and sick legacy.
    1
  927. If Russia was a good neighbour, there would be no need for former Warsaw pact countries to join Nato to be secured. Joining Nato is not made by force while being Warsaw pact country was and being Russia's neighbour is a bad luck. Countires apply to join and they do not have to ask Russia for its permission. Russia does not own Eastern European countries USSR is gone.
    1
  928. Show me the paer sign or stop talking. And let me ask you who gave Russia ay right to decide about pther country's pact choice? Why should we care? Is Russia Eastern Europe's master? No, she is not. We owe Russia nothing.
    1
  929. Russia is a threat to Eastern European countries, not the opposite. Nobody would invade a nuclear power and Ukraine itself had zero chance to join Nato. Putin invaded because of his own greed and ego. He knows he can not invade Nato members and face article 5 of Nato.
    1
  930. My country Poland joined Nto because we know Russia better than West ever will. Being Russia's neighbour is not a choice. Joining Nato is.
    1
  931. There was no such promise. And it is no justification for Putin's crimes and greed.
    1
  932. Even if...Did anybody ask WHY all those countries wanted to join Nato? If Russia was a good neighbours, they would have no desire to join and look for safety.
    1
  933. Russia is a dictatorship. Always at war inside and outside so it has no chance to join Nato.
    1
  934. Who does Russia think it is to think it had ANY RIGHT to decide about other countries pact choices above those countries heads? Cold war era war over. Eastern Europe was free and was no Russia's backyard anymore.
    1
  935. Show me the treaty or stop lying.

  936. Nato never promised not to expand and we do not care about russian paranoia and excuses. It is no justification for russian crimes. Eastern europeans are free people
    1
  937. Russia's so called concerns are Putin's paranoia and excuses to invade and annex Russia's neighbours. Russia has always been like that. Russia's neighbours have real security concerns because Russia keeps invading them, not the opposite.
    1
  938. Ask Russia's neighbours why so many of them turned their back on Russia and joined Nato as quicly as they could. I will give you a clue. It is not because Russia was such a friendly neighbour...
    1
  939. Putin hates Nato because he knows he can not invade Nato member neighbours. Nato is an excuse for Putin. He simply wants Ukraine.
    1
  940.  @Sh1neful  It is not Ukraine's fault that Russia is pure evil and imperialistic state with no respect fotr its neighbours.

  941. Russia made a huge mistake. Ukraine is an independent state and free sirit. It's not Russia's backyard.
    1
  942. Stop lying. There is no paper signed that you can show me and who is Russia to demand anything like that? A special need country? Nobody cares what Russia wants. Eastern Europe is not russan backyard anymore. Deal with it and stop complaining. Stop blaming Russia's victims for calling the police.

  943. Geocine of Ukrainian people can't be justified by anything.

  946.  @tasospanagiotou7823  I am not sorry for messed up Talibs who treat women like or dog. I am not sorry for Milosevic because he had sick geocine ideas. Putin is no better. Nato is only excuse for Putin. It was never about Nato. It is aout Putin's sick idea to annex Ukraine. He wants Ukraine. Period.
    1
  947. Nato expnanson is simply another excuse for Putin to justify his sick legacy, huge ego, paranoia and idea to annex Ukraine. He wants Ukraine. It is not about Russia's safety. Russia's neighbour are the victims here, not the opposite. Russia loves invading its neighbours and then blames them for asking for help.
    1
  948. Exactly We are done with Russia's paranoia and excuses to invade. Russia is not the only one to have agenda and security concerns in Eastern Europe. It's Russia which keeps invading its neighbours, not the opposite.
    1
  949. Nato did not attack its neighbour Putler did.
    1
  950. Ukraine did not want to be Nato member before 2014, not even before 2022. Russia and its criminal behaviour can blame itself only for Nato expansion. And what happened in Ukraine was not a coup. It was a will of Ukrainian people. Eastern Europeans DO REMEMBER history and that is why they joined or want to join Nato. Russia has never been a friendly neighbour.
    1
  951. War is Ukraine is not about Nato. It's about Putin's ego and Putin's paranoia. It's an excuse for Putin.

  955.  @hanschristianvonderheyde6723  Did Ukraine join Nato? No. Is it Nato member? No. Did it have any will to join before 2014 or any chance to join after 2014? No. Is Russia a super power to demand anything? No anymore. Does Putin consider Ukraine to be a separate state? No. He wants Ukraine as a part of Russia and Nato is an excuse. He wants to annex Ukraine unlike USA and Cuba's case. And he blames his victims for calling the police. If Ukraine had bee in Nato, Putin would have never invaded. He invaded because he could and wantsed to. He wants russian empire back. It is not about Nato. It is about Putin's legacy.

  956. It is Russia which keeps invading and annexing its neighbours, not the opposite.
