I call bullshit. European here. Even if somehow you somehow ignore Georgia or Ukraine, and turn a blind eye to the baltic nations and pretend that Poland doesn't exist, for decades we can't go a single month without Russia throwing any veiled and not so veiled threat. Either tanks in Berlin in x days, tanks in Lisbon in x weeks, sinking Britain with nuclear tsunamis, etc etc etc.
And I'm not even touching on the terrorist and sabotage campaigns.
You need to be wilful ignorant to pretend Russia hasn't been threatening everyone left of right for decades.

- chipdart 2y ago> Yeah, no superpower (...) Bullshit. Finland joined NATO and if anything Russia pulled out their military presence near the border. Even Putin himself debunked the nonsense tall tale about NATO expansion. Are we expected to keep pretending this is a concern?

- aguaviva 2y agoExcept there were no missiles in Ukraine, nor any plans to put them there. And Ukraine's NATO membership application was rejected, by NATO, 16 years ago. Your analogy holds no water whatsoever.
