- pakitan 5y agoDid I say that the only reason to get invaded by the Russians is wanting to join NATO?
- alkonaut 5y agoIn 2014 I believe it was joining the EU. Or perhaps it was electing a pro west government. Or perhaps it’s simply having free and fair elections that triggers Russian aggression. Who knows.
- CRConrad 5y agoSo you're admitting Putler will use pretty much anything and everything as a pretext... And still advocating caving in to him on every pretext he can come up with?
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Then presumably Georgia, Chechnya, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and the rest were also attacked because they wanted to join NATO? Georgia (of which South Ossetia and Abkhazia are part), yes, pretty explicitly. Chechnya is a different and long-running conflict (the Chechen Wars, in terms of their initiation, predate the late 1990s NATO expansion.) Georgia still wants to join NATO.
