If I misunderstood your assertion that Putin not wanting missiles on his doorstep has nothing to do with a fear of those missiles being used, then just stop being so pedantic.

My assumption that him not wanting missiles "on his doorstep" is because those missiles might be used to invade is not illogical.

Quit picking such an inconsequential nit.
No one wants missiles on their border pointed at them. Acting like I can't or don't understand that is trolling at best.
There is evidence from Putin himself that his ambitions go well beyond a hypothetical threat.


This is the important bit before I started editorializing.

Putin's on record saying something like the dissolution of the soviet republics is the greatest tragedy of the 20th century.
He's annexing Ukraine as part of that vision.

His stated reason for doing so now is to protect the Ukrainian people from their (Jewish) nazi President.

Putin was all, Hey Ukraine if you ask to join NATO, I'm gonna war you. @NATO if you let them in I will war.
Ukraine doesn't get into NATO and Putin does this.
Now other countries are like, "We no longer have any choice than to join NATO." and Putin's all, if you do that I will war you.





Until and unless Putin begins ethnic cleansing and concentration camps, I think the Hitler thing it going too far.

It's strange because I'm actually a little more pro-NATO than I was. But I definitely oppose NATO expansion on the Russian border, because it only increases geopolitical tension. It's not very diplomatic, is it? It's basically a huge "fuck you" to Russia.

But Russia actually invading Ukraine, it makes me think he would do the same to Estonia and Latvia if they weren't NATO member states. But maybe this is just ultimately about the Black Sea. NATO already had access to the Baltic Sea, and it's not quite as important to Russian trade as the Black Sea is.

All Putin is doing right now is showing the world why NATO exists. A better strategy would have been to convince the world it didn't need to exist.

This line about the Black Sea is wrong. The only value the Black Sea has is if you can ship out of it into the Mediterranean. It doesn't matter if you own all the ports on the Black Sea if NATO holds the straights in Turkey. Guess who belongs to NATO?
