      Putin has been the driving force in expanding NATO. Literally none would care if we didn’t have to worry about that asshole eastern neighbor

        NATO started expanding before putin was in power. In fact Joe Biden warned the US government that expanding NATO will naturally provoke Russia.

        It’s also pretty silly because there are two NATO member nations closer to Moscow than Ukraine.

        But hey, I can’t imagine why the people of all these democratic nations keep voting to join a mutual defense pact. It can’t be because of anything to do with fear of being invaded by the unstable dictator next door, after all, we know the world only exists of the US and Russia and no other people could possibly have a voice in their local government or matter in any way.
