@simchaonn @anneapplebaum Romanian here. Did we need to join the USA in operations in both Iraq and Afganisthan and pay with blood for the privilege? Of course we did. So that we shelter from the Russians by joining NATO. Throwing Eastern European countries to the Russian won't buy you any comfort.
@simchaonn @GabrielaBota2 @anneapplebaum What would be NATO’s motive for a first strike? Putin wants more, more Power. You believe NATO also wants more power? I think they want to end conflicts not cause them
@simchaonn @RIRedmariantk @anneapplebaum Mind you, your beloved Putin has been involved in Libya and Syria as well. As for the South China Sea, the issue is a little bit more complex than you imply.
@simchaonn @RIRedmariantk @anneapplebaum I have no problem with opposing government policies. I have a problem with ignoring facts.
@simchaonn @RIRedmariantk @anneapplebaum So you think that giving in to Putin is the right thing to do.
@simchaonn @RIRedmariantk @anneapplebaum "RF press". That sums it up quite nicely.
