>>508330840Yes, really.
NATO is just - according to the Treaty - a defensive alliance centred on the North Atlantic.
When one of us get attacked (no matter the reason) then we are all supposed to act as if every single one of us was attacked.
In Russia it is now much worse because not only is NATO trying to surround them but NATO is now also actively sicking countries against Russia, defying them to mess with Russia and to provoke Russia.
The theory of the game the (especially the leftists) Americans were playing is that everytime that we shit on / provoke Russia and it doesn't decide to fight the all of NATO because of it... then it is proof that we can do that one thing that was done to Russia all the time.
It's moving the goal posts in a way regarding the proverbial red line in the sand.
And in the case of Ukraine, NATO has challanged Ukraine to bomb the Kremlin and commit terrorist attacks against civilians inside Russia on the grounds that
>Russia will not attack Ukraine backwhich quickly moved to
>Russia will not attack NATO anywaysIt's grim.
It's awful.
NATO was not supposed to be like this and it wasn't for decades (during the Cold War).
NATO used to end in Western Germany plus Italy and Greece and hold nothing to the East of it.
And for almost 50 years it was an iron tier defensive alliance which never ever ever commited any offensive actions as an alliance.
Meaning any NATO countries that wanted to do offensive shit did in their own name and were not allowed to come cry for NATO (unless they got attacked in their territory, obviously).
It worked as a peaceful, defensive alliance with a sound deterrence. For half a fucking century.
Then the Soviet Union fell, America felt like the boss and we have the shit show that we have now.
I blame the Slavs entering NATO as well, as they want war against Russia for the most retarded reasons. And they want to feel protected while they lust for blood.
No Slavs should be in NATO.
