*** Official Putin Started Shootin' Thread ***

There's two sides to this, a bully, and those opposing that bully. I just find it odd the lengths some people go to show empathy towards the bully.

It's not this simple. Yes Russia are a bully. So too is NATO. This is all about influence and authority to NATO, too. They're not so different. They just go about their expansion in different ways.

What makes you think they'd now suddenly just stop what they've been doing since medieval times?

They are fundamentally different. One's interest is to be a bully, the other's interest is to stop bullies. If you're just looking at the interplay between those 2, yeah they seem similar I'm sure. If you look at them vs anyone else, the difference couldn't be greater.

NATO

Hasn't stopped them before, isn't stopping them now.
