They didn't try to join NATO until Russia invaded. Now more are trying to join who used to be neutral. Russia has given new life to a defensive alliance that was drifting into irrelevance 13 months ago. Ukraine is hurt but will now be guaranteed protection at Russia's expense. So not even a victory for Rissia then, but a costly self own that may eventually see Putin in a noose. The US is loving the show.The phyrrhic victory will be Ukraine's to be honest. Every neighbour is not a threat. Only ones that join NATO. That is a legitimate concern.
Not true. NATO put out a statement in 2008 welcoming both Georgia and Ukraine and Ukraine had expressed interest to join NATO. The fact that some EU nations are joining does not make a difference for Russia. If Russia had attacked Finland, even if Finland was not a member of NATO, NATO would have directly stepped in just because it was Finland (privilege I guess). So Russia would never attack Finland one way or another.They didn't try to join NATO until Russia invaded. Now more are trying to join who used to be neutral.

You keep making this statement but supply proof or are we supposed to just take your word for it based on your opinion and Russian rainbows and cotton candy? Or perhaps you have a hotline for Putin and he's shared this tidbit with you? Show us where Nato would jump in with boots on the ground and in direct combat with Russia if Putin had chosen Finland over Ukraine while Finland is a non nato country..

If they work with the west the will have a much better quality of life and that is what everyone aspires too. A better quality of life. Freedom and choices, not a dictator and an oppressor.The war will end with negotiated peace. Ukraine will never be a member of NATO but they will end up as a puppet state of the west (which they already are) and end up poor and destitute.
No proof needed. It is my opinion and I am very sure those racist cunts at NATO with selective outrage will fight tooth and nail for the blonde haired blue eyed Finns. After all isn't that what they said about Ukrainian refugees? Also I wonder what the outrage in the west would be just because it was lily white Finland.You keep making this statement but supply proof or are we supposed to just take your word for it based on your opinion and Russian rainbows and cotton candy?

You mean become a western puppet and sell their soul so they can afford "quality of life". Many other countries of the world however value their actual freedom where they dont sell out their institutions to foreign corporations. But not Zelensky though. He is ready to sell Ukraine and his mother to the west.If they work with the west the will have a much better quality of life and that is what everyone aspires too. A better quality of life. Freedom and choices, not a dictator and an oppressor.
Its all back to kindergarten level justifications.Not true. NATO put out a statement in 2008 welcoming both Georgia and Ukraine and Ukraine had expressed interest to join NATO.

Stop making stupid comments.Its all back to kindergarten level justifications.
Ukraine said they liked NATO more so I got mad and invaded them.
Its totally their fault!!!!
AHA, now the biased is completely coming out! You have a hard-on for Nato and I'm sure the US because you believe they are racist?? I'm suspecting you are from India which is fine, nothing at all wrong with that but you feel slighted by Nato rightfully or wrongfully and have an obvious ax to grind against NATO.No proof needed. It is my opinion and I am very sure those racist cunts at NATO with selective outrage will fight tooth and nail for the blonde haired blue eyed Finns. Also I wonder what the outrage in the west would be just because it was lily white Finland.
BTW do watch the video below on racist reportage.
Really, prove this was said because your claim is like Trump claiming the election was stolen. The same with your opinion and claim that the US and Nato would be with boots on the ground for a non-Nato country like Finland. It's is just throwing shit at a glass door and hoping it sticks.After all isn't that what they said about Ukrainian refugees?
Don't blame me, that's the distillation of your entire argument.Stop making stupid comments.
Did you watch the videos? You are asking me to prove this was said, when there are examples right there in the video! And no, I am not from India. I just travel there a lot for work, and work with a lot of Indians and I happen to like this particular journalist from India whose video I posted.AHA, now the biased is completely coming out! You have a hard-on for Nato and I'm sure the US because you believe they are racist??

That is the only thing you chose to take away from my arguments. Not my fault.Don't blame me, that's the distillation of your entire argument.
You think Ukraine is too friendly with the US, that the US is pulling the strings and that Putin is entitled to invade because Ukraine got too friendly with the US (through NATO).
Everything you've said really comes down to this argument.
22 pages and I haven't really heard anything else much more nuanced.
That's all there is to your arguments.That is the only thing you chose to take away from my arguments. Not my fault.
What I have stated is that NATO expansion was the primary reason for war. And that Ukraine is a puppet state of the west doing the wests bidding. The west is therefore fighting a proxy war in Ukraine and spending billions in tax payer money. Can that be summarized into - "Ukraine was mean to Putin so Putin got mad and invaded?". This is your childish interpretation, not mine.That's all there is to your arguments.
Ukraine was mean to Putin by making friends with NATO/US so Putin got mad and invaded Ukraine.
So its Ukraine's fault for making Putin mad.
Boohoo.
Because Russia isn't run by racist cunts?No proof needed. It is my opinion and I am very sure those racist cunts at NATO ...
Or Putin got mad because he was no longer able to completely dictate policy to a former Soviet state. It's like saying the US would be justified in invading Mexico because they got more friendly with UNASUR.What I have stated is that NATO expansion was the primary reason for war...
Whataboutism. Irrelevant.Because Russia isn't run by racist cunts?
Your bias throws everything you claim out the window. You cannot make a coherent and justified argument because of the venom you have for the great NATO.But yes I do have a hatred of NATO and all things that come under the umbrella of "western foreign policy", because they are so obviously biased, aggressive, hypocritical, imperialist, exploitative, racist and create half the problems in the world. Not to mention the countless lives they have destroyed in the name of bringing democracy or bringing freedom and prosperity and all that nonsense. Ukraine is a great example of this.
Finally you admit you don't know something when the rest of us have all been aware of it a long time ago. LOLI dont know whether NATO will go boots on the ground if Finland were attacked, but I would bet my money on it that they will.
BC told you a fact and you fluff it off as a whataboutism. Putin and Russians are very racist and make no bones about it.Whataboutism. Irrelevant.
I am not biased. I am calling a spade a spade. I have made the same points over and over again in multiple threads. So just writing a boneheaded statement "oh your arguments are not coherent" instead of actually providing a rebuttal is plain lazy. Try harder.Your bias throws everything you claim out the window.

I already said it was my opinion and I still am willing to bet that NATO will directly intervene if it was Finland.
And I call a whataboutism, a whataboutism. Again call a spade a spade.
