  1. Exactly how many NATO countries have invaded/attacked ex soviet territories?

  2.  @ViktorRenkel  NATO operations in Bosnia Herzegovina were a direct result of the Bosnian war it can in no way be described as hostile offensive action. Serbia and Kosovo is a peacekeeping operation. Georgia joined NATO of its own free will. Finally NATO was in Afghanistan in an attempt (failed) to bring peace and security. It was never meant to be a permanent and look what has happened since it pulled out, the country has fallen back into a failed state where the population is starving to death.

  3.  @ViktorRenkel  It is Russian expansionism and the threat of it that is fueling tensions not individual states who feel threatened and seek security under NATO membership. I don't really need to point out examples of Russian expansionism do I?

  4.  @ViktorRenkel  I'm sorry you seem to neglect the soviet expansion just prior to and throughout the second world war. I will mention Poland and the Baltic states. I'm thinking Warsaw Pact, Eastern Bloc. Just because your brand of socialism failed so horribly stacked up against the Western democracies is justice simple common public knowledge. Show me one country that has willingly returned to Russian control? I live in Australia and our economy of 25 million puts the Russian economy to shame.

  5.  @ViktorRenkel  Do you really need to be told why Poland is a member of NATO?

  6.  @ViktorRenkel  You seem to be in this little bubble where you think the history of the region doesn't matter and is of no concern to anyone. All Russia needs to do is stop threatening military action and engage economically and diplomatically with its neighbours and nobody would have a problem.

  7.  @ViktorRenkel  I will keep my response even briefer. It is telling that in a free and open discussion on world politics you resort to threats. You low life grub. Anyone else reading this thread of conversation be clear this Victor Renkel character is a piece of gutter trash whose argument was so weak and so obviously flawed all he can do is attempt to bully. You are a pathetic coward. If you are an example of the Russian people then that is again very telling.

  8.  @ViktorRenkel  I will add this fact to your lies. The allied armies did not remain in any European countries at the end of WWII, France, Belgium, Italy went back to be governed by their people. NATO was formed specifically to prevent Soviet expansion, and what a pathetic comment to suggest that I'd prefer the Nazis. You justify illegal occupation of territories and countries by claiming Soviet Russia didn't initiate the conflict but neglect to mention Hungary in 1956 or Czechoslovakia 1968 or the failed Soviet invasion of Afghanistan 1980. You then finished with some crazed CIA conspiracy theory. Deranged and deluded, you are clearly the product of your countries indoctrination and propaganda.

  9.  @kevinlee7678  What evidence do you have for that statement.

  10.  @bigboy9693  GDP growth under four years of Trump averaged 1.01%. Biden first year it was 5.6%. You mention inflation at 7% which is an accurate figure but neglect to mention the 10% average wage growth or the 555000 average monthly job growth in Bidens first year. Trump only ever managed half that. You even managed to contradict yourself are there Covid deaths or is it a scam, make your mind up.

  11.  @bigboy9693  Your statement simply flies in the face of common public knowledge under Trump for the three years he was in office before Covid struck average monthly job growth was 292000 which was very good, using the same source of data (US Department of Commerce) with average monthly job growth under Biden has been 555000. I am happy to discuss sensibly with economic data and referenced sources a comparison between the Trump and Biden administration. Would you like to compare the stock market or export growth under the different administrations? or perhaps government debt to GDP ratios, quarterly GDP growth?

  12.  @bigboy9693  Happy to discuss the different administrations Covid19 policies and responses.

  13.  @MihailA-vj7xp  By definition in your statement your ruler god is not all powerful, and is clearly flawed, why then would you worship such a god?

  14.  @MihailA-vj7xp  Both your statements are just meaningless ramblings that did not address my question, and have left me even more confused as to your beliefs. Do you have any evidence of such claims?

  15.  @MihailA-vj7xp  Reading a flawed document to prove a god is the definition of begging the question and is fallacious by nature. Is that all you have?
