> NATO isn't fighting in Ukraine
I think this view is delusional. NATO countries are supplying Ukraine with weapons, it's pretty conventional to consider this as being a party to the war.
The only reason we don't say it openly is that elites want to maintain pretense that we are not in a war (that's unpopular in Europe and US) and that NATO is defense-only organization.
- general1465 1y agoSo USA was fighting USSR by supplying weapons to Afghanistan? USSR was fighting USA by supplying weapons to Korea and Vietnam?
- GeoAtreides 1y agoI mean, I completely and utterly disagree with js8, but yeah, the wars you mentioned were called proxy wars between USSR and US, in the larger context of the Cold War
- _DeadFred_ 1y agoWasn't Russia paying a bounty for American soldiers in Afghanistan? That seems more like 'at war with' than providing arms.
- ponector 1y agoAccording to your logic it's Canada fighting North Korea in Ukraine. Just a Russia Today style of whataboutism. Why you take any russian word as true? They can only lie. Whatever they say about Ukraine is a lie. If you want to believe russians, why not believe that this Ukrainian 3-days special operation is going according 5 years plan of grinding Ukrainian soil treeline a day and pushing neutral neighboring countries to actually join NATO?
