      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?

                    first deflate your ego before I dismount. Until he does actions able to be described as imperialist, then I will, but as of yet, no. Russia seems to be doing exactly what it said it was, demilitarizing ukraine, De-nazifying ukraine, and taking back lands that voted to go to russia. Until he strays from that, I will not care. Ukraine does not have any special amount of sympathy from me, as the majority of their military and government are filled with fascists or at least ultra-nationalists. Also, defining imperialism as “any military action” makes the word completely useless. Use a more complex dictionary in the future.
