How Russia will spin it: yet another example of US imperialism where they force another country to accept their troops so that NATO can get closer to our borders and threaten us.

- logicalmonster 5y agoJust as the US was feeling threatened in the 60s with the Soviets trying to put missiles on their doorstep in Cuba, Russia also feels threatened by NATO and the EU alliances inching closer towards their country. Just because many people choose not to listen, doesn't mean that Russia hasn't been talking about this exact kind of thing for the last 20 years or so.

- xdennis 5y ago> Russia also feels threatened by NATO and the EU alliances inching closer towards their country. Eastern countries are inching closer to NATO, not the other way around. Russia's latest invasion is the reason why. You might as well have said: > Russia feels threatened by countries trying to protect themselves.
- phaistra 5y ago> Eastern countries are inching closer to NATO You got this exactly backwards. Countries don't move, but NATO membership does. NATO has been expanding eastwards and Russia has been consistently & explicitly clear that is unacceptable.
