    Thanks for clarifying that.

    You forgot to post the next line, completely by accident I’m sure.

    “So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.”

    So now we know. Had you ever heard of this peace treaty that NATO rejected before? I hadn’t.

      What do you mean “peace treaty”? Saying, “please abandon the allies that are afraid of us invading them or we’re going to invade others before they can ask for help” is not a peace treaty.

      It’s not that we don’t see the one sentence you insist is deliberately being ignored. We know that’s the reason Putin gave for his war in Ukraine, I said so in my original comment. Stoltenberg knows that’s the reason Putin gave, and he says so in his speech, which you quote. There’s no secret treaty being hidden from NATO’member citizens, it is simply not in our interest to make it easier for Russia to attack our members…

      I don’t know if you’re just a Russian troll but if you honestly think this blatand land-grab is justified, but going on Lemmy to lie about an article with a click-bait title that we can all read says nothing new is not going to be enough to sway support or erode western democracy.

        the allies that are afraid of us invading them

        Nobody was afraid of Russia invading them. Which is why nobody wanted to join NATO, including Ukraine. Which is why the USA overthrew Ukraine’s democracy and made it a puppet state.

        The war was provoked by NATO aggression, it’s been a huge success for the US, not so much for anyone else, including its " allies".
