- petre 5y agoThey're not meddling into your backyard. Russia is the one who's meddling in our backyards. They have no business with your country.
- nivenkos 5y agoThe Russian soldiers are still inside Russia... can't say the same for NATO.
- petre 5y agoNATO soldiers are inside NATO countries. Poland and Romania are NATO members.
- raverbashing 5y agoNATO soldiers are still in NATO countries as opposed to russian agents that seem to have fun doing targeted assassinations and microwaving people's brains outside of Russia
- throwaway473825 5y agoRussia invaded Ukraine in 2014, and they still haven't left. You're right that the same can't be said for NATO, but in a totally different sense.
- zmxm 5y agoRussian soldiers are still in Moldova (see Transnistria), Georgia (see Abkhazia, Ossetia), Ukraine (Crimea, Donbas), Belarus.
- the-dude 5y agoWho is the second they?

- petre 5y agoThe US and to a lesser extent Russia as well.
- nivenkos 5y agoAmi go home!
- zmxm 5y agoAs a Dutch citizen you should not forget that Russians already killed 193 citizens of your country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17#Passengers_and_crew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17#Pa...
- the-dude 5y agoI am perfectly aware that we already lost quite some lives due to this conflict.
- soco 5y agoAre a couple hundred Russian-ordered killings an acceptable price to be paid for USA stopping meddling in your backyard?
- the-dude 5y agoThat are your words, not mine and I consider it a false dichotomy.
- zmxm 5y agoCalling it "this conflict" creates very vague and misleading message. Calling it what it is makes things much more clear: "we already lost quite some lives due to Russian invasion of Ukraine".
- the-dude 5y agoThere are many truths, and one of them is the plane should probably not have flown there at the time. But in NL the focus is on the Russians which conveniently dominates the 'narrative'.
- zmxm 5y agoThere are no multiple truths in who started the war and who is responsible for it. Suggesting "many truths" follows Russian agenda, which they push in an attempt to justify their crimes.
- caskstrength 5y agoWe (Ukraine) is not your backyard and would appreciate if you man the fuck up and help or at least stop bitching (you are rich enough to survive more expensive gas). Thanks!
