yeah, he is what is called a "putin versteher" someone who gets why putin would act like he does im just saying that it is in nobodies interest to only accept western views as valid i can totally see how NATO's continuance and the veto against russia joining might be perceived as a persistent middle finger towards russia. My opinion: the only reason why the NATO persists to this day, is to bully russia. The west could have changed their tone along the way, but no. there needs to be a threat, otherwise nobody would need antimissile shields around russias borders. there needs to be someone to point all those weapons at. Apparently humanity needs a common aggressor, I hope there will be an alien invasion of world ending proportions, otherwise I doubt we will ever get our shit together and overcome our differences.
