LOL
LMAO
You really took the propaganda outline of what they told you it was for at face value. NATO from it's inception has been a vehicle to boost arms sales and further US foreign policy. Or as NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte put it, it is a "platform for the United States to project power on the World stage“.
And why was the entire Europe ready for all that? Can you think of a reason?
Because most of Europe is made of of the most violent imperialists in history who don't give a fuck about human life beyond their value on a spreadsheet? Do you know nothing of European history? The terrors of the British empire? French terror through the CFA Franc? Finland not removing their air force swastika until 2023? And so much more. NATO is to the modern world what the Axis was in the 1930s the alliance of the most militant imperialists looking out for their interests as capitalism declines.
Lemme guess, you think Europe is a bastion of good in this world lmao
It's not attacking another country right now.
It's literally backing genocide, it's also attacked a lot more countries than Russia in the last few decades.
Just admit you're a racist
Nah Russia is not genociding anyone. It's objectively good to bury Nazis
This is exactly wrong and there is zero evidence for it. Meanwhile, Russia got involved in Ukraine because the government there was attempting a genocide, nazis and all. You have fallen for the most Israeli trick in the book: reversing victim and offender. This move is to be expected from Ukraine: Zelensky himself said that he wants to turn Ukraine into Europe's Israel. He said this after the genocide was already underway.
All the same people who told that Operation al Aqsa Flood was an attempt by evil Hamas to genocide Jewish people, all the same people who told you that what's happening in Gaza is just a war and not a genocide, all the same people who told you that all those schools and hospitals were secret Hamas bases, are the same people who want you to believe that Russia is trying to do a genocide in Ukraine for no adequately explained reason, just because they're Bad Guys. That China too is doing an invisible bloodless genocide, again just because They're Bad. That we had to invade Iraq and kill a million people because Saddam Hussein was building a nuke (because Bad). All these insane claims come from the same few people and government agencies, and you would have to be a fool to continue believing them.
It holds zero water when you think it through for five seconds.
"not stopping" is a pretty dishonest way to say "actively backing"
It is currently elbow deep in assisting the Palestinian genocide and making criticism illegal.
"right now" they are, but if they aren't it's okay? Fuck the past, history start from now.
Do you even know what a vassal state is?
