anon@lemmings.world 6 days agoOkay, can you think of a reason Russia “only” attacked Georgia and Ukraine in the recent past and not say Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania?

Okay, even if the Soviet Union still existed if NATO did not form, how would that be a good thing? You know they conquered the countries like Poland? They actively fought for their freedom. And even today you can see that Russia tires to expand its sphere of influence using force and violence. They are an oppressor, not an ally.

Poor Russia, had no agency at all. Had no choice but to become an ultranationalist shithole because NATO forced them to.

That’s the very idea of a dictature, yes. Americans had more agency in the gazans genocide (since, you know, they designate themself as a democracy) than russians, who at least know they’re in a strongmen dictature.
