Your reply is incredibly silly, and merely regurgitates Russian disinformation, about NATO expanding to threaten Russia: that is nonsense as NATO is a purely defensive alliance: they can only attack Russia if Russia attacks one of them first. The other point to remember is that NATO didn't expand East: Eastern Europe beat a path to NATO's door because they wanted security guarantees that they wouldn't be re-occupied by Russian troops. Russia has been the enemy of Eastern Europe for decades, and remains so, as the invasion of Ukraine clearly demonstrates.

"Your Russia is not our enemy" article is a ludicrous pack of lies from start to finish. Had Russia formed a democracy after the fall of the USSR, it could have joined NATO - it chose instead to accept a Dictatorship and to maintain the Cold War mentality that includes their "right" to re-invade countries that were once enslaved by the USSR. Putin's paranoia about NATO does not mean NATO was ever a threat to Russia. You appear to completely accept every piece of Russian propaganda as gospel truth while rejecting the fully verifiable position of the West. What does that say about you?

Hint: Nothing good.
