It seems to me that you see NATO as a threat. You're wrong.napshnap wrote: ↑Sun Jul 17, 2022 4:08 pmRemined this))greenmark wrote: ↑Sun Jul 17, 2022 4:03 pmIt is in the chill out area.

It is not nato what bothers me, it is its military infrastructure near the country's borders.greenmark wrote: ↑Sun Jul 17, 2022 4:59 pmIt seems to me that you see NATO as a threat. You're wrong.
Look inward. Putin's solution to the failed Russian sponsored violence in the Donbas in support of Russian seperatists was to wade in with the full might of Russia which has resulted in the killing of thousands Ukrainians and Russians and terrible destruction which will take years to repair.
OK. Redrawing borders could transform Europe - way beyond the USSR, Nazi Germany, Austro-Hunagarian Empire, Prussia, the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire.napshnap wrote: ↑Sun Jul 17, 2022 5:47 pmYou see them as "Russian seperatists", I see them as a part of once divided big family.

Seems like you didn't watch John Pilger video I gave link to, so you don't know about pre-conflict 60,000 ua fighters concentration and the beginning of people of Donbas evacuation.
I think we should stop here. It won't get us anywhere. We just see things differently, from different media, historical, national interests angles.
Possibly to do with energy. Russia has a large footprint in Iraq producing Oil & Gas which Turkey relies on and is exported overland through Kurdistan. Likewise, the Iranians provide Turkey with a simillar service.

Won’t be long and we all be at war.
Talking of liars, Russia has shown footage of the bomb attack on the Odesa port claiming it was a military target, but at the same time denies having anything to do with the attack on Odesa. A Ukrainian official called Putin a 24/7 liar, but unfortunately, we have a politician who matches that description.
You are afraid of a nuclear holocaust, so, think what would be first steps to start it? - justify it for masses by dehumanization (vilifying) you opponent (or whipping boy): hypocritical fashization - check, culprit of the global food crisis - check. What's next? "Russians are aliens in disguise! But not a handsome ones like E.T., more like Rancor ones."
