Putin’s Invasion Had the Opposite Intended Effect - Russia Now Surrounded by NATO
Posted on 2/27/24 at 6:40 am

Finland joined NATO last year and now Sweden has overcome the final hurdle this week to join the alliance after 200 years of neutrality.
NATO is now completely staged along Russia’s western border. If Putin invaded Ukraine to deter NATO, I’m sure he now wishes he could go back to 2021.
This is a significant transformation in the alliance that will cut off Russia even more from the west and western values. It’s h fortunate for the people of Russia, but their fate is in Putin’s hands.
For those who believe in a strong European security alliance, this is a good move and a historic week. I believe this will allow America and western values to prosper for years to come.

This aggression was never actually about NATO.
That's just a Russian talking point among many, but one that took hold in the echo chamber so they doubled and tripled down on it.

Western values are not really well received in Russia. They dod not like the whole gay mafia stuff.

Russia will remain a functioning intact country long after the USA has been destroyed from within.

For those who believe the world needs a good thermonuclear war, this has been a historic week.
I know we have short memories in America due to arrogance but remember how America reacted during the Cuban Missile Crisis? Now imagine what we would do today if Russia was openly encroaching on our border and putting bases in Mexico.
It's ridiculous to keep poking Russia like we are then getting mad when they poke back especially when we would invade Mexico with the quickness if roles were reversed.

What is NATO? Why should Russia or any other country be afraid of small, useless European countries joining NATO?
What kind of support will Finland offer? Discounts on seafood for NATO soldiers?

This statement is about as opposite as can be given current affairs going on.

You keep saying this as if it’s a desirable thing. Are you paying any attention at all to what is going on in Europe?

Then check history books re: military routes to past Russian invasions.
FWIW, the Russo-Finnish Taiga and water bodies render the Karelian Isthmus nearly impassable for a large army. Very different from the Ukrainian plains.

You think what's going on in Europe represents America values???
You must be getting paid to say this shite.

You really must be special Ed or at the very least legit pedo.
Hanging your hat on “western values” in 2024 isn’t something I’d build a platform on.
What part of current western values and initiatives do you love?
Grooming?
Pedo protection?
Open borders?
Free speech only if you speak what they want you to
It’s the exact opposite of what I believe in and what used to be American / Western Values.
We’ve been hikacked & your running around acting like it’s a good thing. Hope your at least registered as a sec offender

You seem to have a very different definition of the word "surrounded" than the rest of the world.

I really do not believe, at all, Russia is enamored with "western" values. Besides, since 862 AD, Russia has been Russian.
"Russia (has) immeasurable resource wealth on which its current great power status is based." Could this be what motivates NATO?
"In the coming decades, Moscow's top imperatives include securing a buffer space along its borders ....; changing or weakening Western policies toward Russia; ensuring political cohesion by avoiding domestic reform; avoiding diplomatic and economic isolation; and finally, managing Russia's demographic decline."
"Moscow will remain focused on Ukraine, Belarus and its western flank. It will devote a large portion of its budget to defense spending to ensure it has the military power needed to secure sufficient buffer space in Ukraine and neuter Kyiv's development and integration with the West. Maintaining the credibility of the threat of renewed aggression against Ukraine will remain one of Russia's primary sources of leverage vis-a-vis Kyiv and the West."
"Russia (is) far less ethnically diverse than it was 100 years ago or even at the time of the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, as ethnic Russians constitute a larger share of the population in key regions. This means that there are few clear ethnic and geographic fault lines along which Russia could break apart."
Frig NATO!!
Quit Poking The Bear!!
