Dems and Republics suck but Republicans are worse. Israel is breaking international law colonizing Palestine. Climate change is real. Stop mutilating your kids.
@yeetwoodmak@IcoochiUchiha @amatyahu @closecalls7 Oh if that's true than yeah she's really dumb but I would also say that kind of exhibit where you drive your own car unsupervised while predators run around is pretty dumb too
@keithbracey9 @Richard75021160@anders_aslund Legally? Because Russia had invaded crimea and funded separatists. Its against NATO's constitution to allow members in the middle of conflict or territory disputes.
@keithbracey9 @Richard75021160@anders_aslund Ukraine wants to join NATO themselves so I don't understand this logic that its our fault because we didn't tell them no. The only one to blame is Russia. Nothing forced them to murder people.
@keithbracey9 @Richard75021160@anders_aslund And yeah they are weak, they have no way of beating NATO without nukes and if they want to destroy the world over some land they occupied 30 years ago, that's the decision they have to make, which I doubt they will. But again, any NATO state can break away whenever it wants.
@keithbracey9 @Richard75021160@anders_aslund Because Russia is insane and thinks they still have a claim over exsoviet land, and have shown the past 6 months theyre willing to kill tens of thousands over it. If Ukraine secures all its territory I 100% want them to have some kind of official security agreement with the west.
@keithbracey9 @Richard75021160@anders_aslund -borders, is because they have nukes, than there's nothing to argue about. I don't care what threats they make, and any NATO state can break away themselves if they feel threatened. You can move as well. Nations can make whatever decisions they want and NATO acts on consensus
@keithbracey9 @Richard75021160@anders_aslund Well those states didn't want to make a flimsy agreement losely connected to NATO, they want real security guarantees. If Russia is allowed to feel threatened why can't east Europe? If your only argument that Russia deserves all these extra privileges over nations outside its-
@keithbracey9 @Richard75021160@anders_aslund NATO never made such promises and expansion was not on the table, but later said that they broke the spirit of the agreement. Russia never got any legally binding agreements or a revision of article 10, just verbal qoutes from individuals who were eventually elected out of office
@keithbracey9 @Richard75021160@anders_aslund individual nato state officials regarding diffeent things from troop movements east, NATO military facilities east, as well as membership expansion. These individual statements do not represent NATO as a whole which acts on consensus on every agreement. Gorbachev himself said
