Ironic that actions meant to pre-emptively prevent further expansion of NATO will likely result not only in further expansion of NATO but of strengthening of militaries in countries already part of NATO.
Of all of the reasons put forth by various sources over why this is happening, the simplest is often the correct one (not always, but often), which is that Putin just wanted Ukraine back in his (i.e. Russia's) embrace. And nobody says no to Putin.
- a0-prw 5y agoWhere is NATO going to expand to after Russia wins in Ukraine? This war changes everything. The most likely outcome is a massive, resource-rich Eurasian bloc with China as its center of gravity, with increasing influence in the (also resource-rich) developing world against a fading, culturally decadent, resource-poor West. This bs situation is terrible for the West. America will be different, but can survive. Europe will be absolutely fucked.
