    Nato expansion has always sounded dumb to me too. Nato is a defense pact, it doesn’t ever attack so there is nothing for Russia to defend against. And if some countries were to attack Russia, them being in Nato is irrelevant since the other members won’t help.

    Russia is the only European country that violates others borders. Everyone else agreed that wars are dumb and joined a peaceful union called the ‘EU’ or at least has close ties with it. Now Russia of course could have joined the EU too, but Putin chose not to.

        NATO didn’t intervene in Lybia, it were just some NATO aligned countries.

        If NATO did intervene, it would have included ALL NATO countries. As is the point of their pact. If one is at war, they all combine forces.

        Since plenty of NATO countries abstained, it is therefore no NATO intervention.
