  1. Ask every Eastern European why his country joined Nato. They will tell you the truth about Russia. They know Russia better than Nigel ever will.

  2. Tell Nigel to go and live next to Russia. It is no fun.

  3.  @adamwaterhouse  Russia always feels provoked and needs excuses. Every Eastern European knows it. Who does Russia think it is? If Russia was a good neighbor with no record of making mess in the neighborhood, there would be no need to apply for Nato membership in order to be safe. Putin wanst Ukraine. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato and had no will to join before 2014. Putin though non Nato Ukraine would be easy to overrun. That is all. Nato is an excuse. Russia has never been a friendly neighbor.

  4. I am Polish, We live next to Russia and I can tell you one thing for sure. Russia always feels "provoked" and Russia always needs excuses. Blaming my country for joining Nato is like blaming a victim for calling the police because she did not want to be abused anymore. If Putin does not like Nato at Russia's borders, he should really try and stop giving neighbors good reasons to join. Russia feels "provoked" just because we want to decide on our own about our own home.

  5.  @DanielWetherill  Nato never invaded a nuclear power while Russia has a long record of making mess in non Nato neighborhood just because it can so Nato exists for a reason. Nato did not invade Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine because Putin wants Ukraine. Nato is an excuse. Ukraine had no chance to join and had no even will to join before 2014 so Russia must look in the mirror.
    4
  6.  @DanielWetherill  Each Nato member has to agree. Ukraine's possible membership was refused by both France and Germany. Ukraine had no will to join before 2014. It had no chance to join after 2014 because Nato does not let countries with unsolved bordes issues to join the pact. Besides it is not about Nato.Putin wants Ukraine and he could invade non Nato Ukraine only.

  7.  @adamwaterhouse  Is Russia a special need country or what? It is Eastern Europe's master to demand anything? We owe Russia nothing. Russia should stop looking for excuses and stop blaming others for her own greed.

  8. UK lost its emire and moved on. USSR is gone but Russia is the only one not to understand it yet. USA does ot invade in order to annex. Russia does. Whataboutism is no justification for Putin's wet dreams
    4
  9.  @gpadd_ow  My country of Poland joined Nato because of Russia, not agaist Russia. Stop blaming Russia's past and present victims for their will to be secured. Who does Russia think it is to tell us what to do? We are not Russia's slaves! Get over it and start respecting our rights and agenda! If Russia was a good neighbor, there would be no need to call the poice! We know Russia better than you ever will!

  10. Russia always feels provoked. It does not matter what others did. Stop blaming a victim for her will to be safe.

  11.  @letsgobrandon5502  Yanukovich lost support of his own party and was voted out by Ukrainian parlament. He run to Moscow where he belongs to.
    3
  12.  @thesaltybrit9321  Provoke Russia by doing what? By being independent states which want to decide on their own? Russia always feels "provoked" and Nato is bs excuse for russian greed. Was Austrian painter provoked by Poland in 1939? Stop blaming a victim for her will to be secured instead of being abused.
    3
  13.  @mikedon5205  Every Russia's Nato member neighbor spends a lot on military. This is how it works if you live next to Russia. They know Russia is always the same. Russia has a break sometimes. That is all.
    3
  14.  @Winter-CIG  Late Polish president Lech Kaczynski said back in 2008 standing in front of Tibilisi crowd "Today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, the day after that Baltic States of even Poland". Nobody listened. Russia always needs excuses.
    3
  15.  @okasur1  Excuse is not a reason. Putin would invade anyway. Just because he could and wanted to. Nato has nothing to do with it. Ukraine is not even Nato member and had no chance to join. Ukraine's idea of membership was refused by both France and Germany. It did not change Putin's plans. He wants Ukraine. He has always wanted Ukraine back.
    3
  16.  @PJM-U60  Oh really? I am Polish and I know for sure we do not want to change Ukraine's borders. What is more Poland was the first country to recognize Ukraine's independence back in 1991 so I beg you to stop lying.
    3
  17.  @PJM-U60  One more thing. Serbia is not even Eastern Europe. Both Slovakia and Hungary remember what it was like when USSR crossed their borders with tanks when they were tired of soviet influence. Their current governments can not change their history.
    3
  18.  @PJM-U60  Joining Nato is a choice while being Warsaw pact member was not. Orban himself was against USSR back in the Cold war era. He has changed over the years. Orban is free to leave both Nato and EU and join Russia but for some strange reason he does not want to. It explains a lot.
    3
  19. He blames Russia's victims for their will to be safe and secured.
    3
  20. Nato expands because Russia is a terrible neighbor and countries around Russia apply to join in order to be secured.
    3
  21.  @rb1062  Putin even blames Poland for WWII. Like WTF?
    3
  22.  @silverreverence6176  Why would Mexico do it? USA is a good neigbor, Russia is not. USA did not say "Mexicans are little Americans and Mexico is not real" unlike Putin and Ukraine case. Your wjhataboutism is invalid. USA is a super power and who does Russia think it is to demand anything?
    3
  23. There is no paper signed not to expand Nato east that you can show me and Russia is not the one to decide about other country's pact choice.
    3
  24.  @martinacaffrey4411  Russia is cheap gas station with Spain's gdp, It is a place where 1 out of 4 has no inside toilet. USSR is gone, Eastern Europe moved on and left Russia behind. Russia is not the one to decide about other country's pact choice. Putin wants Ukraine. He invaded because he wants Ukraine. He invaded because he thought it would be 3 days job. He was wrong. Putin can invade non Nato Ukaine only. How brave of him. Helping a victim is a right thing to do,
    3
  25.  @martinacaffrey4411  Nato never invaded Russia while Russia keeps invading or at least making mess in non Nato neighbors so Nato exists for a reason. Stop blaming a victim for calling the police. We really do not have to care about Russia's excuses and Putin's sick legacy.
    3
  26.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  when is your shift over, Ivan bot?
    3
  27.  @robmule4647  And Austrian painter was "protecting Germans in Chechoslovakia in 1938". Every dictator needs excuses.
    2
  28. Countires like Poland or Baltic States know Russia better than you ever will. They knew Russa had a break only. They have been warning for years that Putin would not stop. Russia never stopped making mess in non Nato countries so Nato exists for a reason. Russia will never change. What would happened to them if they did not join Nato in the 1990and 2000's? They would be second Ukraine.
    2
  29. Poor baby Putin always feels "provoked". Give me a break. Every dictator needs excuses and blames his victims "you made me do this".
    2
  30. Russia always bneeds excuses and Russia has always been a terrible neighbor.
    2
  31.  @cavannaro1  Russia has nothing to say. Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard anymore. Get over it. Russia must stop acting as if we owed Russia something.
    2
  32.  @robinbreeds9217  Russia must ask herself why so many former Warsaw pact members do not want to have anything in common with Russia anymore.
    2
  33. he is wrong end every Eastern European knows it. It is called own experience with Russia's crimes and it is something Nigel did not get.
    2
  34.  @salibaka5174  So why didn't Putin invade Finland? Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Poland joined 25 years ago, Lithuania 20 years ago, Russia also borders Alaska and Finland has the biggest land border with Russia. Did Putin wake up yesterday? And last but not least why did Putn invade NON NATO country of Ukraine which had no chance to join Nato in decades to come? Isn't it about Putin's greed and legacy? He simply wants Ukraine. He could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Did USA try to make Cuba a part of USA? No. So your point is invalid. Putin does not want Ukraine to exist. He wants Ukraine back as a part of russian empire and Nato is an excuse. Ukraine is not even Nato country! USA is a super power and did not try to grab Cuba's or get rid of Cuba's culture and language unlike Putin and Ukraine case. What does Nato have to do with it? Russi is not even a super power and USSR is gone. Get over it and stop comparing Russia to other super powers. Russia can not stan it does not own Eastern Euroe anymore and its glory is over. Who gave Russia any right to think that Putin's legacy and greed are more important than Ukraine's freedom,r rights and independence? Ukraine is not russian backyard and their security concers and agenda matter as well. Eastern Europe is not a ping pong ball. It owes Russia nothing.
    2
  35.  @salibaka5174  Putin wants Ukraine neutral because it means "easy to grab" for him. He wants Ukraine. Russia is not a super power to demand anything. Get over it. Ukraine and Georgia do not belong to Russia and nobody cares what Putin wants. He is not Eastern Europe's master. Get over it. USA did not try to grab Cuba's land and did not say "it is not a real" country. . Ukraine is not even Nato country and had no chance to join. Putin invaded anyway because he could and wanted to. Nato is an excuse.
    2
  36.  @salibaka5174  Neutral means "feel free to invade because nobody would help us".
    2
  37.  @salibaka5174  Yanukovich refused to sign deal with EU, lost support of his own party, was voted out by Parliament and run to Moscow. Many people were killed. Nato exands because countries around Russia ask to join and it is up to them, not up to Putin. Ukraine itself is not even Nato member and had no chance to join. Putin had non Nato Ukraine and decided to invade it anyway. Why do you think Putin's greed is more important than Eastern Euroeans and their safety, agenda, freedom? Who does Russia think it is to demand anything from them Russia proved not to change for better so Nato exists for a reason.
    2
  38.  @salibaka5174  Nto expands because Russia's neighbors ask for it and it is none of Putin's decission. Get over it. Ukraine is not even Nato member. Putin invaded anyway. It proves it is about Ukraine itself and Nato is bs excuse.
    2
  39.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  Historicallu USSR was Germany's ally till 1941 and both invaded Poland in september 1939. They even held joined victory parade in Poland. USSR was anything but liberaor for haff of Europe.
    2
  40.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  USSR was Germnay's ally in invading Poland and starting WWII Russia loves taking all WWII soviet glory and always skips USSR dark sides.
    2
  41.  @DanielWetherill  And who said Russia is the one to decide about other country's pact choice?
    2
  42.  @halberderdier8073  bullies always feel "provoked" and it does not matter which excuse they chose in the end.
    2
  43. Putin can always take his toys out of Ukraine. Nobody forced him to cross other independent country's borders. It was his choice, his excuse and we are not responsible for his greed and mindset. It is funny how Nigels and others do not give a damnd about Eastern Europeans, their freedom, their voice,, their rights and their agenda. Ho gave you any right to claim that all of that is less important than Putin's demands and paranoia?
    2
  44.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  It is Russa which has the same dude in power for over 20 years who puts in prison all his political opponents so who is dictator here?
    2
  45.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  How is Navalny, Politkovskaya, Kara Murza, BerezovskY?
    2
  46.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  RT chanel told you so?
    2
  47. Stop spreading bs. Will of people abused by Russia is not a coup. Yanukovich refused to sigh deal with EU, lost support of hs own party and was voted out. When was the last time Putin cared about diplomacy? Nobody forced Putin to invade his neighbor. He did it because he wanted to. He has always wanted Ukraine back. He used every fake and bs he could find to justify his greed. Donbas belongs to Ukraine and it is Putin who has been paying separatists for years.
    2
  48.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  It does not matter whta they voted for. It does not give them any right to take Ukraine's land.
    2
  49.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  It is not how it works. World does not go around Putin's wet dreams.
    2
  50. Excuse is not a reason. Putin wants Ukraine, Ukraine is not even Nato country and blaming Eastern Europea countries for joining Nato is like blaming a victim for calling the police. "You made me do this" is bully's logic. Every bully feels provoked and blames his victims for his own crmes.
    2
  51.  @avelingbarford  Putin calls Ukrainians "little Russians", he does not want Ukrainian language and culture to exist. if Russia does not like Nato at her borders, maybe Russia should stop giving countries around her good reasons to join. Eastern Europeans know Russia well, they did not ask for it. Russia will never change. Russia simply has a break and always comes back for more. Why didn't Putin care when Finland joined Nato? Because it is not about Nato. It is about Ukraine and Putin's sick legacy. Nato is at Russia's borders for decades. Did Putin wake up yesterday? What was a chance for Ukraine to join Nato with Ukraine's unsolved border problems and Donbas mess created by Putin? None. He invaded anyway. Because he could and wanted to. He wants to restore russian empire and it would be impossible without Ukraine as a part of it.
    2
  52.  @Gilan4983  Russia always feels provoked. Russia feels provoked by Ukraine being an independent state but it is not West's fault.
    2
  53.  @TheNobbynoonar  Late Polish president Lech Kaczynski said back in 2008 standing in front of Tibilisi crowd "Today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, the day after that Baltic States or Poland". How about thta? Russia's neighbors know Russa better than Nigel ever will and they have been warning. It is not about Nato. It is about Russia still treating Eastern Europe as her own backyard.
    2
  54. Bullies feel provoked no matter what their victims did or did not do
    2
  55. According to Nigel, For sure.
    2
  56. your whataboutism is invalid. Ukraine does ot belong to Russia and USSR is gone. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato and that is why Putin invaded. He could try tooverrun non Nato Ukraine only. If Ukraine had been in Nato, he wouldhave never started. It is like blaming a victim for defending herself.
    2
  57.  @Arangggg  If Russia does not like Nato at her borders, Russia should stop giving others reasons to join
    2
  58. I have neber reason so much bs in one post. I am sure you have no clue about Eastern Europe's history with Russia's crimes.
    2
  59.  @adamwaterhouse  Neutral for Putin means "easy to grab"
    2
  60.  @giselameunier4788  Poor bully was "provoked" by his victim... Sounds familiar? Would you blame Poland for provoking Austrian painter in 1939? Did Nato ever invade a nuclear power? What was the reason why so many Russia's neighbors asked for Nato membership? Was it made by force like Warsaw pact? Stop being ignorant and stop looking for justification.
    2
  61. provide yourself english vocabulary, Ivan.
    2
  62. Exactly. I am sick of guys like Nigel who has no clue what it is like to live next to Russia. Russia always feels provoked and needs excuses. It is like blaming a victim for calling the police.
    2
  63. He would blame Poland was "provoking Austian painter". This is exactly what Putin did during his Tucker interview.
    2
  64. Ukraine is Ukraine and past is past. It is not a reason. It is an excuse and bs justification. USSR is gone, Eastern Europe moved on.
    2
  65. Nigel simply thinks Russia is still Eastern Europe's master. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato and Putin invaded anyway. Just because he could and wanted to. He wants Ukraine. Russia is always the same and every Eastern European knows it
    2
  66.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  Russia has always been a terrible neighbor, with or without Nato at her borders. This is what Russia ever does.
    2
  67.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  When was the last time Ukraine invaded Russia? And do not even start with "Putin is protecting russian speakers in Ukraine". I am tired with Adolf style excuses.
    2
  68.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  Putin's usefuls stick together, nothing to be proud of.
    2
  69.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  USA did not try to annex Cuba
    2
  70.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  Russia is not allowed or justified to take somebody else's land just because it wants to. If they love Russia so much they are free to move out to Russia. Ukraine is not Russia. Get over it. World does not go around Putin's wet dreams.
    2
  71.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  democracy under russian guns and around separatists paid by Putin. Putin himself is in power for over 20 years without fair and trasparent voting.
    2
  72.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  If they want to be free from dictator it means there is no way they want to live under Putin.
    2
  73. Bulies like Putin always feel provoked and blame their victims.
    2
  74. Yanukovich refused to sign deal with EU, he lost suport of his own party and was voted out. Ukraine is not even Nato members so it is not about Nato. Puti simply wants Ukraine and he could invae non Nato Ukraine only. Putin has been paying separatists i Donbas for years. Ukraine is not soviet backyard anymore and USSR is gone. Deal with it and stop lying,
    2
  75.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  dictator named Putin who invaded Ukraine, Misha.
    2
  76.  @user-iu5vc5ki8p  somuch bs in one post. Russia always feels provoked and needs excuses. "Intention" is good enough reason for you to invade your neighbor? Words are cheap.
    2
  77. Every bully blames his victims but nobody is responsible for Putin's greed. Ukraine is not even Nato member and Putin invaded anyway. He wants Ukraine. He did not care about Finland or Poland so it is not about Nato. It is about Putin's greed and about Russia which can not stop treating Eastern Europe as her own backyard. USSR is gone. Russia is not Eastern Europe's master anymore.
    2
  78. Russia never applied for Nato membership because Putin did not want to stay in line and meet the criteria. Nato never promised not to expand east and there is no paper signed that you can show me. Nato is an excuse and Eastern Europeans are not Russia's slaves anymore. Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard and they owe Russia nothing.
    2
  79.  @wadegarret  Ukraine is not even Nato country and had no chance to join. Putin invaded anyway because he could and wanted to. He wants Ukraine to be a part of Russia. Russia has always been a terrible neighbor and it was like that long before Nato. Every Eastern European can tell you something about it. We owe Russia nothing. USA did not try to make Cuba a part of USA and USA is a super power unlike Russia with her Spain's gdp.
    2
  80.  @Matick-  Russia has no red lines. Russia has excuses and Ukraine owes Russia nothing. It is a bully's logic "you made me do this". Stop blaming a victim for calling the police because she did not want to be abused anymore.
    2
  81.  @Matick-  Ukraine had no chance to join and Putin invaded because of his own ego and greed. He wants Ukraine and he knew if Ukraine had been in Nato he would have never been able to grab as much as he would like to. He thought it would be easy.
    2
  82. Does it really matter which excuse dictators pick in the end? We are not responsible for Putin's sick mind and paranoia. It is pathetic how everyone here does not give a damn and Eastern Europeans and their voice in all of this.
    2
  83.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  keep living in your matrix. Russians and their useful are the last one to tell others about democracy. They never lived in a democratic country.
    2
  84.  @phildavies6020  My country's own experience with Russia is all I need to know. It is more than Nigel knows. That is for sure. Do not even start with me and stop telling me what to do. Russian bs narrative is not something for me.
    2
  85.  @phildavies6020  Every bully blames his victim for being provoked. Putin is no better.
    2
  86. If Putin never wanted this, he should have stayed inside russian borders but he chose to invade NON NATO COUNTRY of Ukraine in order to feed his ego. He wants Ukraine as a part of Russia. Nato is bs excuse. Ukraine had no chance to join. And BTW Bullies always feel "provoked" by their victims.
    2
  87. He has no clue what it is like to be Russia's neighbor.
    2
  88.  @Vikram_Ivanovich_Lopes  And why is Wagner group called Wagner? Wasn't he Austiran painter's favourite composer?
    2
  89. spot on. Everybody must stop blaming a victim for her will to be secured.
    2
  90. every bully feels provoked and needs excuses.
    2
  91.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  West did not invade Ukraine in order to annex it. Russia did. Joining Nato is a choice and Ukraine is not even Nato member. Putin invaded anyway because he could and wanted to. He wants Ukraine.
    2
  92.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  Yanukovich was Putin's puppet. He run to Moscow where he belongs to. And that "comedian" turned Putin into a joke. 3 days SMO turned into 3 years and caunting.
    2
  93.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  how is 3 days SMO going? 3 years and caunting. Something went wrong, don't you think?
    2
  94. stop spreading bs. There was no way to sign appeasement deal after what happened in Bucha.
    2
  95. appeasement is not peace.
    2
  96.  @TheTruthHz  They simply think Eastern Europeans have no voice, no wil and no agenda and they never listen Nigel would be the first one to blame Poland for "provokng Austrian painter"
    2
  97.  @martinacaffrey4411  USA did not try to annex Cuba unlike Putin and Ukraine case. Ukraine is not even Nato country and Russia is anything but a super power.
    2
  98.  @gpadd_ow  Nato did not expand by force. My counry of Poland asked for it and we did it for a reason. It is called our own experience with Russia. We were right and we did what was the best for us, not for Russia. Russia is not our master to tell us what we could or could not do in our own home and for outrown safety. Guess what? Our agenda matters. We have our security concerns. Russia proved not to change at all. Russia is always the same bad neighbor and proves it every other decade.
    2
  99.  @ManicPixie-bb7wc  Russia is the last one t talk about fai and transparent voting. They have no clue what it even means. If you love Russia, you can move out to Moscow. You are not allowed to take away somebody else's land just because you want to.
    2
  100.  @ManicPixie-bb7wc  Past is past. Get over it. Donbas and Crimea belong to Ukraine and Russia is not allowed to invade any country just because it wants to.
    2
  101. Russia has no red lines. Russia always wants more and Russia is not Eastern Europe's master anymore. Get over it and start respecting Eastern Europeans and their security concerns, voice, will and agenda.
    2
  102. You would be first one to blame Poland for "provoking Austrian painter" in 1939. Does it matter which excuse dictator chose in the end? Bullies always feel provoked.
    2
  103. They gave them money so Ukraine could defend itself. Nobody invaded Russia and nobody told Putin to invade an independent state. He did it in order to feed his own ego. He wants Ukraine to become a part of Russia. Nato is bs excuse. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato in the nearest future and Putin invaded anyway because he could and wanted to. He wants Ukraine and he does not want Ukrainian language and culture to exist.
    2
  104.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  Zelensky did not grab somebody else's country. Russia did.
    2
  105.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  Zelensky did not invade Ukraine. Russia did. If you love Russia you are free to move out there. Ukraine is not Russia just because Putin wants it to be that way.
    2
  106.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  When is your shift over, Misha?
    2
  107. We are not respponsible for Putin's greed and excuses, Bullies always blame their victims.
    1
  108. Blaming Eastern Europeans for joining Nato is like blaming a victim for calling the police because she wanted to be secured and was tired of being abused.
    1
  109.  @tommyjackson5900  It was not may point.I did not write about you blaming them. My point is many ignorants do exactly that.
    1
  110. If Russia was a good neighbor, there would be no need to join Nato. Putin did not care when Finland joined so Nato is bs excuse. He wanst Ukraine and he could invade non Nato Ukraine only.
    1
  111. As if Putin ever cared for peace. Ask every Eastern European about his country's experience with Russia.
    1
  112.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  Take your vocabulary and check what peace means. Invading your neighbors is anything but peace.
    1
  113. Is there any paper signed not to expand Nato east that you can show me? Oh, wait. You can not. So why are you lying?? Who gave Russia any right to decide about other country'a pact choice? Is Russia Eastern Europe's master to demand naything? No. Is Russia a supoer power? No. We owe Russia nothing. There is a reason why all those countries joined Nato as quicly as thye could It is called own experience with Russia's agression.
    1
  114. Excuse is not a reason.West is not responsible for Putin's greed and excuses he did pick.
    1
  115.  @LD-vn3zu  Because Nato is an excuse for Putin.He wanst Ukraine as a part of Russia.
    1
  116.  @milieu67  Putin hates Nato just because he can not invade as much as as quicly as he would like to. Nato is an excuse. My country joined Nato because we knew Russia had a break only. We were right and who is Russia to tell my country of Poland that we could not decide on our own? We are not soviet backyard any we owe Russia nothing. Start respecting our rights and agenda.
    1
  117.  @milieu67  Did you ask yourself why oh why all those countries joined Nato as qucily as they could? I will give you a clue It is called own exerience with Russia/USSR/Russia. They owe Russia nothing. Russia should look in the mirror.
    1
  118.  @milieu67  Putin hates Nato because Nato stops his greed and sick ideas. He can not invade as much as he would like to. Eastern Europe does not belong to Russia and Eastern Europeans do not have to care about Russia's excuses or ask Russia for her permission. They owe Russia nothing. They knew Russia and joined Nato for a reason. To be secured. They were right. Russia is always the same. Russia has a break and always comes back.
    1
  119. They knew Russia would never change. It is called own experience. Russia proved them right. Russia is always the same. Russia had a break only. Every Eastern European knows it. They know Russia better than Nigel ever will. USSR is gone but so what. Russia never stopped making mess in non Nato neighborhood. Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants Ukraine. Nato is an excuse. Ukraine had no chance to join. Putin invaded because he could invade non Nato country only. He does not consider Ukraine to be a real country. Nato has nothing to do with it. Every dictator needs excuses. Ask people of Chechenya how peaceful Putin was.
    1
  120. Russia always feels provoked and needs excuses and Russia has always been a terrible neighbor. Blaming Russia's neighbors and former puppets for joining Nato is llke blaming a victim for calling the police. There is no justification for a bully. Joining Nato was a choice while being Warsaw pact member was not and being forced to live under russian and soviet rule was not even funny. Eastern Europe owes Russia nothing.
    1
  121. Bullies always feel provoked and blame their victims intstead of looking in the mirror.
    1
  122.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  Russians do not mention WWII started in 1939 and they started it side by side Germans. They love pretending liberators while being anything but. Others have learnt their lesson. Russians never learn and love blaming others for their own greeed and crimes. Somebody else's wrong does not make Russia's right. Russia took all USSR glory and refured to admit all the rest.

  123. Don't you think Eastern Europeans have their own security concerns because they know Russia well and have no trust for a reason? Is Russia Eastern Europe's master? Cold war era is over. Eastern Europeans are free people and Russia has never been a friendly neighbor and gave them all good reasons to join Nato as qucilu as they could. Russia will never change. Russia proved them right to join Nato.

  124. Putin feels "provoked" by Ukraine's independence and existence only. Every bully blames his victims and it does not matter which excuse he chose in the end. People like you would be first to blame Poland for "provoking" Austrian painter in 1939.

  133.  @romanjansen6652  It is funny how you did not notice Eastern Europe's security concers in all of this. Who is "world's second best army" afraid of? Guess what? Eastern Europe' history with Russia's crimes caused "security concern" as well . And it is exacty why so many former Warsaw pact members joined Nato. Your whataboutism is invalid because Mexico has no interest in being allied with Russia. Why? Because USA is a good neighbor and a super power unlike Russia so Mexico has nothing to worry about. Ukraine has.

  150.  @ericvansteenlandt7888  Nato did not expand into Eastern Europe. Eastern Europeans were tired of russian influence and crimes on their soil and asked to join in order to be secured. And who is Russia to tell them they could not? Their pact choice is none of Russia's decission because Putin is not their master. Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard anymore. Nato does not force any country to join unlike Warsaw pact member. Warsaw pact was the only aliance to invade its own members when they tried to leave that soviet paradise. Start respecting Eastern Europeans, their security, ther rights, ther agenda. They know Russia and that is why they joined Nato. Rusia was is and will be a terrible neighbor who uses every excuse to justify his own greed. Eastern Europe owes Russia nothing. Every bully blmaes his victims. Excuse is ot a reason. Ukraine is not even Nato member. Putin wanst Ukraine as a part of Russia. He invaded because he could and he does not consider Ukraine to be "real country". Nato is bs excuse. Putin could invade non Nato Ukraine only. USA did not want to grab Cuba unlike Putin and Ukraine case.

  156. Did you ask yourself why so many of Russia's neighbor want to join Nato? Isn't it because of their terrible experience with Russia's crimes? Nato never invaded Russia.

Ukraine's poitical path is none of Russia's bussines.

  160. The truth is Eastern Europeans are not soviet slaves anymore. If Russia was a good neighbor there would be no nedd to join Nato. Fnland and Sweden joined because Russia invaded non Nato Ukraine. Nato is an excuse. Putin wanst Ukraine. If Ukraine had been in Nato, he would have never started.

  166. Ukraine is not even Nato member and Putin invaded anyway because he wants Ukraine and he could invade non Nato country. Putin did not care about Finland joining Nato so it is about Ukraine and Putn's greed. Nato is bs excuse and blaming a victim does not make you look good.
    1
  167.  @avelingbarford  if Putin cares about Nato at Russia's borders so much tell me.. Why did he invade non Nato country of Ukraine? Why didn't he care about Finland joining Nato? Poland joined 25 years ago. Luthuania joined 20 years ago. Ukraine had no chance to join. Putin invaded anyway. Did he wake up yesterday? No. He wants Ukraine. Ask yourself why so many former Warsaw pact countries do not want to have anything in common with Russia anymore.

  169.  @avelingbarford  If we want russian resources, we can byt it. It is called trade. Nobody invaded Russia. Joining Nato is a choice while being Warsaw pact member was not and t was the only alliance to invade its own members when they triedd to leave that soviet "paradise"Do you know Russia's main problem? It is claimng that everything that USED to be russian or soviet at any point belongs to Russia forever and this is bs excuse eastern Europe has its own concerns and that is why so many former Warsaw pact members joined Nato It was their choice and none of Russia's decission or bussines.

  170.  @avelingbarford  Russia was supposed to respect Ukraine's independence and borders according to Budapest Memorandum signed in 1994. USA is a super power. Every nation has its sins and did bad things in the past. Main difference is...Russia never learns and always act as if others owed her something. Russia is not a super power anymore. Get over it.

  171.  @avelingbarford  When was that agreement signed? Is there any paper signed or was it just some bs small talk by Baker who was not the president of the USA or the president of any Eastern European country and had no legal power to make such a deal? Don't you hear how funny your complaining is? We owe Russia nothing. Nato is just another excuse.Ukraine is not even Nato country. Putin did not invade Poland, Finland or Lithuania which border Russia so it is not about Nato. It is about Ukraine. Putin has always been obssesed with Ukraine.

  184.  @phil00075  Both France and Germany did not agree. Ukraine was not and is not even Nato member. Putin got what he wanted. He had neutral Ukraine. Neutral according to Putin means "powerless and easy to overrun". Putin invaded because he wants Ukraine as a part of Russia. He thought it would be easy 3 days job. He was wrong. Ukrainians had no will to join before 2014 and had no chance to join after 2014 because Nato does not want countries with unsolved border issues to join the pact. Putin created Donbas mess and he has been paying separatists in Donbas in order to be sure to keep Ukraine out of Nato. He knew he can invade non Nato country only. Besides really why do you feel Russia's so called "security concerns" are always more important than Eastern Europe's freedom and rights? Who does Russia think it is to demand anything? USSR is gone. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Get over it.
    1
  185.  @phil00075  One more thing You ignore USA is a super power while Russia is a gas station with Italy's gdp which can not stand its time of glory is over. Stop comparing Russia to USA all the time because it is funny and pathetic at the same time. Whataboutism is no justification for Russia.

  186.  @phil00075  Nigel would be the first one to blame Poland in 1939. Poles know appeasement is not peace and dictators never stop. They always want more and blame others for their own greed.

  187.  @phil00075  Western powers were stupid and did not want to hear to Eastern Europe's constant warnings. Countries like Poland or Baltic Staes knew Putin would not stop.West chose making bussines and pretending being blind It is funny and pathetic at the same time as you never give a damn and could not care less about Eastern Euroean countries, their securty concerns, their agenda, voice and right given previous Russia's crimes on their soil. Appeasement never works and dictators always want more if they see your weakness. Poor baby boy Putin bully was provoked. He would invade anyway and it does not matter which excuse he chose in the end. Putin"arrogantly declared" that Ukraine is "not a real country", Putin "arrogantly declared" "UKrainians are little Russians". It is funny how you did not give a damn abd could not care less. Dead people would be easly avoided if Putin decided to stay inside russian borders. He chose feeding his own ego. It is that simple. And one more thing.Ukraine is not even Nato member and had no chance to join in decades to come.

Who does Russia think it is to decide about other country's pact choice? Bs small talk means nothing. Russia must stop blaming others because others are not responsible for Putin's paranoia, greed and excuses. Putin blames Russia's past and present victims for calling the police. Nobody invaded Russia. Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants Ukraine and Nato is bs excuse. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato. It is not about Nato. It is about Putin's legacy. He does not want Ukraine to exists as a separate state. Dictators always feel "provoked" and it does not matter what others did or did not do.

"Today Georgia, Tomorrow Ukraine, the day after that Baltic states or even my country of Poland". Nobody listened. Poles heard "you are oversensitive". Well, Poles are russoexperienced.

If Ukraine had been in Nato, he would have never started this war, Power is the only language dictator understands. Appeasement never works.

  242.  @sasajelisavac  No. It dd not. There is no paper signed that you can show me and Eastern Europe is not soviet backyard anymore. Start respecting Eastern European countries and their voice in all of this. They did not have to care about Russia's paranoia and excuses. Russia has always been a terrible neighbor. Russia is the reason why they all joined Nato as quicly as they could.

  243.  @sasajelisavac  Ukrine is not even Nato member and had no chance to join. Putin got non Nato Ukraine and invaded anyway. Putin wants to annex Ukraine. Nato is bs excuse for russian greed. USA did not try to annex Cuba. Russia is a gas station which can not stand USSR is gone. Who does Russia think it is with its Italy's gdp?

  244. Nato never promised not to expand east and there is no paper signed that you can show me. Ukraine is not even Nato member and Putin invaded anyway. Nato is an excuse for russian greed. It is about Ukraine and Putin's legacy. He wants Ukraine.

  245.  @Nick1205-w2l  Because they did it many times in the past. Because Russia loves invading and annexing her neighbors just because it wants to using every bs excuse Russsia can find. That is why Poland joined Nato. To be finnaly secured.

  246. It is not like Cuba crisis because USA did not try to make Cuba a part of USA and did not try to get rid of Cuba's culture and language unlike Putin and Ukraine case. Ukraine is not even Nato member. Nato is not a reason, it is another bs excuse for russian greed Putin wants Ukraine. He did ot care when Finland which has the biggest land border with Russia joined Nato. He had non Nato Ukraine and invaded Ukaine anyway just because he wanted to and just because he could invade non Nato Ukraine only. Ukraine had no chance to join. It was supposed to be easy 3 days job. Putin ended up with Picacu face.

I am Polish and we knew Russia would come back because this is all Russia ever does to Eastern Europe. We were right. We know Russia better than most ever will. Nato is an excuse for Putin.

  252.  @junehitchcock170  USA is a super power. Russia is not. American ppresident did not claim "Cuba is not a real country". Ukraine had no chance to join Nato. Putin invaded anyway because he could and he wanst Ukraine. Nato is an excuse.

  253.  @Hassan_Nasrallah23  Why didn't Putin invade Finland which has the biggest land border with Russia? Because it is not about Nato. Putin wants Ukraine as a part of Russia. He says "it is not a real country". Nato is an excuse.
    1
  254.  @user-io3f4dx1j  Regime? It is Russia which has the same dude in power for over 20 years without transparent and fair election. It is Russia which has political prisons unlike Ukraine. How is Navalny doing? Austrian painer "was protecting Germans in Chechoslovakia in 1938". Sounds familiar? What a role model for Putin. Every dictator needs excuses. Putin wants Ukraine and does not consider it to be a real coutry. Nato is an excuse. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato. USA is a super power. Russia is not.

  255.  @user-io3f4dx1j  If they love Russia they are free to move out to Russia but Russia is not justified to invade Ukraine. Ukraine is not even Nato member, it had no chance to join and Putin invaded anyway because he could and wanted to. He wants Ukraine. It is about Putin's legacy. Nato has nothing to do with it. It is an excuse for Putin.

  271. Yanukovich lost suppoer of his own party, was voted out by Ukrainian parlament and run to Moscow where he belongs to. It was not a coup. It was a will of people abused by Russia.

  274.  @Dungshoveleux  Joining Nato is a choice while Warsaw pact was the only alliance to invade those countries in Eastern Europe when they tried to leave that "soviet paradise" If russia was a good neighbor (never was) there would be no need to join Nato. Putin wanst Ukraine and Nato is just another excuse for russian greed. Russia is always more or less the same.

  275.  @phildavies6020  Putin has been paying separatists in Donbas, Putin grabbed Crimea. Who poisoned Yushchenko? Ukraine is not russian backyard. Putin says "Ukraine is not a real country", he claims "Ukrainians are little Russians" so who is interfering here?
    1
  276.  @Dungshoveleux  Russia never stopped making mess in non Nato countries so Nato exists for a reason. Russia always feels provoked. Russia has never been a good neighbor. Nato has nothing to do with it. Russia needs excuses only. Russia must stop blaming West for its own failures and stop acting as if we owed Russia something. Russia is not a "special need baby"
    1
  277.  @Dungshoveleux Eastern Europeans know Russia well and they have security concerns as well. Russia must stop blaming others for her own weakness and failures. Russia has a break and always comes back for more. Russia never stopped making mess so Nato exists for a reason. Russia proved countries like Poland and Baltic States right. USSR is gone, Russia did not turn into a peaceful neighbor. Russia had a break nad there is no justification for it. Russia always feels provoked by other country's will not to be bullied by Russia anymore.

  281.  @сумпат  Russia was is and will be the biggest bully. Stop playing the victim card and whataboutism leads you nowhere. Russia is a gas station with Spain's gdp. Nobody cares what you want and nobody wants to be allied with you exept for poor countries and other dictatorships. For every time Russia was invaded Russia invaded others 10 times. Look in the mirror. USSR is gone, Get over it. You have the same dude in power for 20 years. He puts is prison all his political opponents What kind of friend does Russia have left? North Korea What a role model. Nothing to be proud of. Enjoy Pariah state status for years to come. Putin lost your future. Russia has nothing to offer exept for poverty and lack of freedom.

  283. Will of Eastern Europeans abused by Russia is not a coup and their pact choice is one of Russia's decission. Russia should look in the mirror and ask herself why so many former Warsaw pact mebers joined Nato as quicly as they could. Russia is a bad neighbor. Always was and always wll be.

  286. Ukraine is not even Nato member and Putin invaded anyway because he simpy wants Ukraine. He could invade non Nato Ukraine only. If Russia was a good neighbor, there would be no need to join Nato. Ukrainians had no will to join before 2014 mess so Russia should look in the mirror. Why didn't Putin care when Finland joined? Because Nato is an excuse. He wants Ukraine. It is about his legacy and greed.

  287. Putin invaded Ukraine so it does not what others did.

  289. Soviet victims were not only Russians. They were also Ukrainians or Belarussians and many others. USSR was Germany's ally till 1941 and both invaded Poland in september 1939. They even held joined victory parade.Soviets killed Polish officers in Katyn Massacre in 194 and for half of Europe were anything but liberators. USA is a good neighbor unlike Russia so your whataboutism is invalid. Mexico has nothing to worry about. Ukraine is not even Nato memebr and Putin does not consider Ukraine to be "a real country" He wants it to become a part of Russia.

  296. excuse is not a reason and West is not reponsible for Putn's greed. Blaming countries around Russia for joining Nato is like blaming a victim for calling the police because she was tired of being abused.

  297.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  USA did not invade Ukraine. Russia did. USA never claimed anything like "Ukrainians are little Rusisans" or "Ukraine is not a real coutnry" unlike Putin. Joining Nato is not made by force unlike being Warsaw pact member. Nato does not invade its own members unlike former Warsaw pact. You can not force any country to love Russia. Ukraine is not even Nato member and the only reason why Ukraine wants to join Nato is Russia's criminal behaviour on Ukrainian soil. Russia has always been Eastern Europe's bully and can not stand most Eastern Europeans turned their back on Russia. Why? Because they knew Russia and were fed up. Russia has nothing to offer.

  307.  @martinacaffrey4411  Russia always feels provoked and it does not matter what others did or did not do. "You made me do this" is a bully's logic. . Russia feels provoked by Ukraine's existence as a separate and independent state. Ukraine is not soviet backyard anymore. Get over it. Putin does not like Nato because he can not invade as much as he would like to. He wants Ukraine.

  308.  @Oliver-cv6pv  It was a not a piece of paper either. It was bs small talk and there was no written agreement not to expand east, and who is Russia to decide about other country's pact choice? Cheap gas station with not even half of Kalifornia's gdp is not Eastern Europe's master anymore to demand such a thing. We owe Russia nothing. If Russia was a good neigbor never was and never will be), there would be no need to join Nato. Russia is always the same. Russia simply has a break sometimes. Every Eastern European knows it. People must stop blaming Russia's victims for their will to be secured. Russia is not a "special need" country and Eastern European agenda matters, their freedom and safety matters. Dictators always use excuses to justify their crimes. Nato is an excuse. Ukraine had no chance to join anyway. Putin invaded because he wanted to and because he could invade non Nato neighbor only.

  309.  @DanielWetherill  USSR is gone but it did not turn Russia into a peaceful neighbor. Russia proved many former Warsaw pact members right. They did the best thing possible for their safety by joinin Nato. Putin can invade non Nato neighbors only.

  310.  @ManicPixie-bb7wc  I think Putin should take his toys out of Ukraine and stop invading his neighbors in the name of his own ego. And you are still free to move out to Russia instead of looking for bs justification for a war.

  313.  @sothdestiny9496  Nato does not force any country to join. The same for EU. You neet to apply on your own, stay in line and meet the criteria. It is none of Russia's bussines because Eastern European countries have their own rights and agenda and it is up to them, not up to Putin. Russia can not force anybody to be allied with Russia. You can not force anybody to love Russia. Russia has nothing to offer exept for poverty and lack of freedom so Russia should look in the mirror and stop blaming others for other choice made. Will Ukraine become Nato member I have no clue. I know it is none of Russia's decission.

  315.  @sothdestiny9496  so what is Putin afraid of?
    1
  316.  @sothdestiny9496  Both EU and Nato do not expand by force unlike Russia and former Warsaw pact. Eastern European countries applied on their own, stayed in line, met the criteria which was not that easy and joined with their own will because they wanted to. Did you ask yourself why? Because they know Russia and did not want to have anything in common with Russia anymore for a reason and who is Russia to tell them they could not? it was up to them not up to Putin. Russia is not their master and they really do not have to care what Russia wants. Russia does not own Eastern Europe. Guesss what? Eastern Europeans have their own will, agernda, dreams and right to go their own way. They are not a ping pong ball.

  317.  @sothdestiny9496  What are you even talking about? Is it so hard to understand countries is Eastern Europe have their own wll and they are fed up with russian influence for a reason? They know first hand Russia has nothing good to offer. They beged to join. My late grandma was crying with tears of joy when we joined Nato because she knew Russia better than most ignorants ever will. She did not have to be told what to do or what to ask for. It is called own experience with russian influence and crimes. Eastern Euroeans have their own agenda, their own will, heir own bad experience with Russia and their own reasons to join whatever pact they want. Is is so hard for you to swallow?
    1
  318.  @sothdestiny9496  Is it so hard for you to swallow that nobody forced us to join Nato exept for our own terrible experience with Russia? Guess what? We are not ping pong balls, we are not "sphere of influence" and we decide on our own what is the best for us.

  322. Putin invaded because he wants Ukraine and he could invade non Nato Ukraineonly. Bullies always bfeel provoked and blames their victims for calling the poice.If Russia was a good neighbor, there would be no need to join Nato in order to be secured. Putin should have stayed inside russian borders but he prefers invading independent neighbors in the name of hs ego and sick legacy. Excuse is not a reason and it is no justification. Ukraine had no chance to join Nato and Putin invaded it anyway.

  338.  @misc_channels-po6rh  Nato never promied Russia not to expand east and there is no paper signed, no written agreement that you can show me so stop spreading lies. Who does Russia think it is to decide about other country'a pact choice? Why do you think Russia had any right to have anything to say on that matter? Eastern Europe does not belong to Russia. Eastern Europe's agenda, freedom, rights, safety are ore important than Putin's wet dream about restoring USSR.

  339.  @misc_channels-po6rh  bs small talk means nothing on international political level so Russia should stop complaining. Ukraine is not even Nato member. If Putin cares so much about Nato expansion why didn't he invade Poland/Lithuania or Finland but he chose to invade non Nato country of Ukraine? Because Nato is an excuse. Besides Russia is not the one to decide about Nato expansion because Russia does not own Eastern Europe. As far as I remember Putin is not the president of any other country exept for Russia. Both Nato and Eastern Europe owes Russia nothing. Get over it. Who does Russia think it is?

  340.  @misc_channels-po6rh  Bs small talk means nothing. Stop complaing and stop looking for excuses. Somebody told something to someobe behind the scene and you think it is justification for Russia? It is an excuse. The most funny and bs excuse you can find to invade your neighbor.
