They know that Russia can’t do them anything, that’s for sure. And they can see how belligerent Russia is.

That’s what many of you Putin people don’t realize. NATO expansion isn’t being driven by aggressive western campaign. It’s being driven by a very healthy fear of Russia.

You should be asking what it is about Russia that makes everyone around them to be fearful.

You said NATO expansion isn't driven by aggressive western campaign, so I want to ask you a question..

Is USSR/Cuba military alliance driven by an aggressive campaign?? If so, give me reasons...

It's none of Russias business what another country do.
Haven't they learned that yet? If russia was a nice neighbor
they would have influence with othet countries. They aren't nice so their neighbor's don't listen to them. All countries follow what is best for their national interests.

The most sensible post here. Why is Russia's body odour scaring all her neighbors away.

Let's see what the outcome is but I hope they don't join. It would not be a good thing to see another Ukraine happen to both countries.

Can Russia afford to fight all its neighbours.

When is Africa going to be held accountable for what they did to themselves? Rwanda genocide, starving of SE children, the Fulani marauders across Nigerian, the ongoing BH onslaught on people of the North, the millions that was sold into slavery by their kinsmen and the many more than are still being matched into sex slavery across Europe by Africans or the many that have been sold by Libyans.

Truth be told if the west should leave us to our vices Africa will destroy itself. Imagine if not that the west steps in every now and then to stop our leaders from themselves by now our leader would have sold Nigeria and flee to somewhere else. That is how destructive we are to ourselves.

So please leave the west and focus inward.

We have election next year and all the idiots that has hand in the situation we are in have started crawling out from their caves to come and steal from the public and there are ordinary people who saw nothing wrong with that. And you are here pointing fingers at the west.

You are worried about putin, what about the fat kid from pyongyang toiling with nuclear weapons?

All know all he wants is attention. He is not capable of expansionism. Putin is.

You never can tell, that dude is eager to capture the southern half of the peninsula, just as kremlin wants to dictate for the rest of previous ussr members. However russia is somewhat more open to the rest of the world compared to the pyongyang punk.

This is so eerily familiar.

Russian bullying and delusion
of grandeur is very similar to
the wild actions and inactions
that Hitler's Nazi Germany
exhibited back in the 1930s
right into the 1940s till Hitler commited suicide.

EU fell right into US trap!
The Ukrainian crisis has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s about Germany and, in particular, a pipeline that connects Germany to Russia called Nord Stream 2. Washington sees the pipeline as a threat to its primacy in Europe and has tried to sabotage the project at every turn. Even so, Nord Stream has pushed ahead and is now fully-operational and ready-to-go. Once German regulators provide the final certification, the gas deliveries will begin. German homeowners and businesses will have a reliable source of clean and inexpensive energy while Russia will see a significant boost to their gas revenues. It’s a win-win situation for both parties.

The US Foreign Policy establishment is not happy about these developments. They don’t want Germany to become more dependent on Russian gas because commerce builds trust and trust leads to the expansion of trade. As relations grow warmer, more trade barriers are lifted, regulations are eased, travel and tourism increase, and a new security architecture evolves. In a world where Germany and Russia are friends and trading partners, there is no need for US military bases, no need for expensive US-made weapons and missile systems, and no need for NATO. There’s also no need to transact energy deals in US Dollars or to stockpile US Treasuries to balance accounts. Transactions between business partners can be conducted in their own currencies which is bound to precipitate a sharp decline in the value of the dollar and a dramatic shift in economic power. This is why the Biden administration opposes Nord Stream. It’s not just a pipeline, it’s a window into the future; a future in which Europe and Asia are drawn closer together into a massive free trade zone that increases their mutual power and prosperity while leaving the US on the outside looking in. Warmer relations between Germany and Russia signal an end to the “unipolar” world order the US has overseen for the last 75 years. A German-Russo alliance threatens to hasten the decline of the Superpower that is presently inching closer to the abyss. This is why Washington is determined to do everything it can to sabotage Nord Stream and keep Germany within its orbit. It’s a matter of survival.

That’s where Ukraine comes into the picture. Ukraine is Washington’s ‘weapon of choice’ for torpedoing Nord Stream and putting a wedge between Germany and Russia. The strategy is taken from page one of the US Foreign Policy Handbook under the rubric: Divide and Rule. Washington needs to create the perception that Russia poses a security threat to Europe. That’s the goal. They need to show that Putin is a bloodthirsty aggressor with a hair-trigger temper who cannot be trusted. To that end, the media has been given the assignment of reiterating over and over again, “Russia is planning to invade Ukraine.” What’s left unsaid is that Russia has not invaded any country since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and that the US has invaded or toppled regimes in more than 50 countries in the same period of time, and that the US maintains over 800 military bases in countries around the world. None of this is reported by the media, instead the focus is on “evil Putin” who has amassed an estimated 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border threatening to plunge all of Europe into another bloody war.

All of the hysterical war propaganda is created with the intention of manufacturing a crisis that can be used to isolate, demonize and, ultimately, splinter Russia into smaller units. The real target, however, is not Russia, but Germany. Check out this excerpt from an article by Michael Hudson at The Unz Review:

“The only way left for U.S. diplomats to block European purchases is to goad Russia into a military response and then claim that avenging this response outweighs any purely national economic interest. As hawkish Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, explained in a State Department press briefing on January 27: “If Russia invades Ukraine one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.” (“America’s Real Adversaries Are Its European and Other Allies”, The Unz Review)

There it is in black and white. The Biden team wants to “goad Russia into a military response” in order to sabotage NordStream. That implies there will be some kind of provocation designed to induce Putin to send his troops across the border to defend the ethnic Russians in the eastern part of the country. If Putin takes the bait, the response would be swift and harsh. The media will excoriate the action as a threat to all of Europe while leaders around the world will denounce Putin as the “new Hitler”. This is Washington’s strategy in a nutshell, and the whole production is being orchestrated with one goal in mind; to make it politically impossible for the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to wave NordStream through the final approval process. Hi

This is just a perspective.

Dont write an article or paste any if you dont know how to read.

I know what am saying and according to the link you posted i will just quoute where you got it all wrong

"Putin bluntly asked: “When are you going to invite us to join Nato?

If Nato was not formed then then what the hell was he talking about.

And i also asked a question....why was NATO formed?


And note..... Nato was formed 1949
Please read more dont go and embarrass your self for street





NATO was never formed when Russia tried to join. lol....

In 1992 or recently was when Russia tried to join NATO, but NATO told him he must follow due process to join, Russia as a dog they were objected and rebuffed such terms. so please don't say what you don't know.
