    Imagine how dangerous it would be if NATO was, instead of a defensive pact, a transnational nuclear military helmed by the world’s foremost genocidal empire that marches across Europe via propaganda and coup d’etats towards it’s ultimate goal of encircling Russia and China. What a cluster fuck that would be? In that reality, if a member state launched a war of aggression NATO would probably support it and continue escalation.

    Luckily, we know NATO is a defensive force because it didn’t launch multiple wars of aggression, drop depleted uranium on civilians, and is democratically accountable.

          Yes, it is, badly.

          BTW: since lemmy (and obviously lemmygrad) was created by communists. Can you explain to me what’s so communist about Russia that you and others are so fiercely defending? How are they different from that “imperialistic pig” that is the US? Is it because Russia is fascist now?

          Looks to me like you never cared about communist ideology, and it was always about supporting Muscovies and totalitarism.

              Said the guy with a thumbnail with big CCCP on his forehead.

              Standard bullshit pretending that you care about people, dismissing that Ukrainians are fighting for their right to exist. After the war crimes committed, after Bucha and many other places, after Russia admitted to kidnapping nearly a million of Ukrainian children (textbook definition of genocide), after ICC charges for war crimes.

              But ok, please outline exactly what should be the peace agreement, who gets what (don’t skip any details).

              And second, please tell me how Russia, will honor that agreement, when it broke every single one going back to 90s, including Budapest Memorandum where it signed that it will respect Ukraine’s borders. The one that it broke in 2003, 2014, 2018 and 2022 (when it decided to go after the rest of Ukraine).

                @takeda @yogthos I understand where you’re coming from Takeda. But don’t expect rationality from Yogi. He says Ukraine is being “used in a proxy war”. That’s your first hint that he’s a propagandist. Anyone who says the US is helping Ukraine to hurt Russia without mentioning that the ONLY reason the US needs to do so is because Russia has needlessly and baselessly attacked Ukraine, is not trying to speak the truth. Unless Yogi here wants to admit Russia’s attack was the cause? Yogi?

                    @yogthos You missed the point with the grace of a dancing elephant as usual. I didn’t say it wasn’t a proxy war. I said that acting like Russia isn’t reason the war exists at all why you’re a propagandist. Can you admit that Russia started this war and is solely responsible for the bullets and bombs that are flying or no? How much of a leash does Daddy Putin keep on you?

                  What personal attack? Are you saying your thumbnail is offensive to you?

                  You don’t answer these questions, because you don’t have a good answer that doesn’t show that you are supporting the genocide being committed by Russia.
