If NATO hadn't expanded, Russia would be killing estonians right now. The first and primary reason for this expansion was not NATOs desire for additional members, but Russia's neighbours desire for protection from Russia. And current invasion of Ukraine had proved that they were absolutely right.

- mythrwy 4y agoI don't think it proves any such thing. The two situations (Estonia and Ukraine) aren't comparable unless one has a preconceived notion that current Russia is intent on conquering as much area militarily as possible. (Which, given history, some might be excused for believing). This isn't really the place for geopolitical discussions. But even you appear to admit expansion was occurring because "reasons". I just hate pretending, that's all.
- golergka 4y ago> Russia is intent on conquering as much area militarily as possible This is absolutely true, if by Russia you mean the revaunchists who are in power right now. And especially so in regards to former colonies, which are universally viewed with contempt, aggression and racism by people from these circles.
