    The countries joined NATO voluntarily. (They also freely applied to join.) That’s what sovereign, free states do, they decide their own destiny and don’t let another state dictate anything to them.

        Imagine thinking they’re not joining because they’re scared of Russia invading just like with Georgia and Ukraine.

          most joined in 1997, fuck, russia tried to at one point. they’ve all wanted to split russia and make themselves stronger, have for a while. I think some are now, but only a few will. Contrary to popular belief, most of the people not in NATO despise it.

            I wish that 1997 spirit had been maintained. So many resources and now lives are wasted over the distrust between NATO and Russia.

              Fuck that, Im glad the NATO scum have enemies, and I hope the alliance burns to ash. May socialism destroy its enemies. Russia gained little power during this fight, but NATO lost far more. Each are now very much able to be revolted against. Lenin is young again, as the third world rises to burn the 1st.

                Suit yourself. I’d rather see a world working together to achieve peace.

                  if you love the banner of imperialism so much, don’t even try to pretend to care about the rest of the world. Your facade is nothing but patronizing to those you leech off of.

                    Oh, get off your high horse. Unless you’re willing to decry Russia’s imperialist invasion of Ukraine to steal its territory and install a puppet government?
