Also, let's stick to reality. NATO has been marching around Russia's borders even after the Cold War ended.
Yeah, that's their job.
It's not meant to be. It there to counter the Soviet Union, which imploded over 25 years ago.
Their weapons and expansionist desires still exist. Obviously. They annexed Ukraine. I believe Putin wants to rebuild the empire.
Good luck with that appeasement, Mr. Chamberlain, I'm not afraid of killing Russians if we have to. They are not our friends.
Edit: I really don't want to kill Russians. Russian soldiers are just as much victims of Putin as Alexander Litvinenko. But the human shield strategy on their part is protecting a sinister agenda.
They have every right to acquire weapons given the endless threats and moves by NATO. There was a referendum in Crimea, they didn't annex Ukraine. Sorry but we can't risk WWII because of your beliefs.
Can't just bring up Hitler every time you want to attack another country. You appease your own country's war mongering.
Litvinenko was killed by Putin's enemies. Boris Berezovsky had traces of polonium in his office and home.
