NATO's encroachment into Eastern Europe and bringing on Eastern European member states is not in keeping with its original mandate, in fact it is exactly what they were defending against but in reverse. Again this entire conflict has its roots in NATO expansionism. But the USSR lost the cold war. So how is it remnants of the soviet empire feel empowered to enforce policy of a 30 year dead failed state? Should the Ottomans still be giving direction to the British and the French?

I don't know that safeguarding freedom, sovereignty, peace etc., can be characterized like that, particularly now, and particularly if a sovereign country feels threatened by their neighbors and want to join. Its also pretty clear by now that Putin is committing war crimes and killing innocents, so even if we're going to cast some responsibility on NATO, his response isn't justified imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s several democracies that choose not to partake and there’s been no pressure politically or militarily for them to join. The fact that it still exists is a testament to the need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
