@NoiseyAttic@Christi30686380@OliverBrowne16 @CaptainKrzbot @BBCWorld Latvia joined for economic reasons,regarding defense. Russia was even cooperating with the US in its war in Afghanistan and was not perceived as a threat, so the Baltics didn't join specifically because of Russia
@NoiseyAttic@Christi30686380@OliverBrowne16 @CaptainKrzbot @BBCWorld I don't know, Russia even suggested joining Nato and it was played down in the 90s (The Soviet threat was not there anymore) In the end Nato is against Russia, that's why Russia considers it an existential threat ans accepting Russia in Nato would have removed its reason to be.
@NoiseyAttic@Christi30686380@OliverBrowne16 @CaptainKrzbot @BBCWorld G7 is a lie. China by PPP already left the US behind. India has a larger economy than Italy, for example and it's not represented there either. It is not the ,"7 richest nations" and the G7 needs the rest of the world, that is slowly ditching the USD by the way
@NoiseyAttic@Christi30686380@OliverBrowne16 @CaptainKrzbot @BBCWorld They are literally living in a bubble (a economic one). Who is more necessary when hard times hit? The wheat producer that gets paid by the hour or the financial advisor that gets millions in a developed country?
At times, police officers, who are typically unarmed in New Zealand, were forced to carry rifles in parts of Auckland, the country’s largest city. Last week, Ms. Ardern demoted her police minister, saying she had lost “focus.”
@NoiseyAttic@Christi30686380@OliverBrowne16 @CaptainKrzbot @BBCWorld Actually those responsible for the decision making process in the West have to feel very bad for provoking this war, same as those waging it. This is shared 50-50 and you don't understand my point. You criticise exactly what your own government does. This war is a power struggle
@NoiseyAttic@OliverBrowne16@Christi30686380 @CaptainKrzbot @BBCWorld I'm against wars, those relishing about it are found in the US defense industry and the people they lobby, but I understand why all this happened. It is not that one day Putin woke up and said: "Ahh it is a great day today to launch an invasion"
@NoiseyAttic@Christi30686380@OliverBrowne16 @CaptainKrzbot @BBCWorld Ask the many kids killed in Yemen with American bombs... considering the way societies are evolving in the West, with its decadence, Russia will be a better option in the future. Choose between a liberal autocracy disguised as a "democracy" or a conservative one.
@Christi30686380@NoiseyAttic@OliverBrowne16 @CaptainKrzbot @BBCWorld Then the Hollywood movie ends with soldiers kissing each other... the free world is not free anymore, you get canceled if you are against the establishment, if you don't play along, you are done. How is that different to what happens in authoritarian regimes?
