The expansion of NATO is why Putin invaded Ukraine. Putin warned but the West did not listen. The Media lied and created a ridiculous narrative that you apparently believe. Have you ever heard Tucker Carlson's explanation? Young men die because old men are stupid.
NATO pushed Putin into a corner. Putin in a heartless thug, so I'm not defending him, but this could have been avoided. What is the point of NATO anyway?
After Communism failed in the USSR and Eastern Europe, NATO had no real purpose. Expanding NATO was a threat to Russian security. This could have been avoided. ten of thousands of lives could have been saved.
I see Americans morph into war-mongering apologists for the Military Industrial Complex. And, how is the war going? Not so good? More young men die every day in a stalemate that is bleeding Ukraine dry.
I have no idea what the current purpose of NATO is. Did we create a monster that we can't control? Is its only purpose to costume everything in its path?
