    Ok. So let’s forget the fact that you fucked up and either (a) lied about Ukraine being in NATO, or (b) were too uninformed to know they weren’t.

    What is more astounding to me is that it doesn’t dawn on you that Ukraine intentionally DIDN’T join NATO so as to prevent their larger aggressive neighbor from invading… YET THEY DID ANYWAY.

    So let’s look at it another way: If Mexico was actually afraid of the USA, then I would have no problem with them joining a defensive alliance. But why would Mexico contribute 2% of their GDP for a nonsensical reason? Why would I or USA care remotely? The only reason to care is if we actually had intentions of invading a weaker adversary BEFORE they were buddied up with a larger nation.

    These arguments are absolutely terrible and full of logical missteps. Your complete ignorance is part of the problem that strong-men dictators exploit. Educate yourself. You are very, very naive about Russia and Putin’s plans. Clearly, you’ve never read about the Foundations of Geopolitics by Putin’s right-hand man.

      I’m not reading that, I just wanted to make you angry for calling me dumb and from the size of this essay I guess I accomplished that. Good luck on your future arguments with people on the internet. Bye.

        You’re in denial and your ignorance is getting people killed, so sorry if that sort of willful ignorance pisses me off as few things can do. That you won’t read it proves you have no interest in self-improvement. Good night.

          My ignorance is killing people? LMAO!! Dude I have no political or military power, I’m just a random internet nerd, cmoon. Just tell me to fuck off and get on with your life. Is not a matter of self-improvement, just different views. I’m from South America, we have a long history of abuse from the USA and their friends. I’ll never see NATO as something good.

            Right. We’ve already established: You’re ignorant, and don’t want to learn. You were so ignorant you didn’t even know Ukraine wasn’t in NATO — LMAO!

            But at the end of the day, yes, ignorance like yours is distorting the narrative because people like you just aren’t exactly… Deep thinkers. And your ignorance gets exploited to excuse atrocities of dictators and spur inaction. But alas, I know these words are lost on you.
