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.
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.

This example just never makes sense. Mexico is one of our strongest allies for the very reason Russia started this conflict: trade.
The reason Russia has issues involves its unwillingness to join the modern world and enter into bilateral trade deals that are roughly impact both sides positively equally. I know we all joked about China being a-hole, but they have joined the modern world in a way Russia has refused. Russia is truly a-hole.
The irony is Russia's plan is to get butt-fricked in trade deals by China to survive this endeavor.

If Russia or China had even one spy base on the Mexican border, we would have gone to war over it. Admitting to a dozen is off the charts. That NYT article 100% justified the invasion.
Also, Putin was more succinct in an interview a week or two ago than the Tucker interview.

Does NATO have a recent history of invading countries?
Because Russia does.
Your analogy falls apart quickly, there.
To confuse a defense position reacting to an aggressive neighbor with an offensive position is laughable.
You don't have to take the Russian talking points, literally. They are mostly lies.
