There is no sign that Russia’s aggression in Ukraine is coming to an end, but Germany is already debating whether the Bundeswehr should participate in peacekeeping forces.

        No, the whole point of this conversation, and my original comment, was to point out that Russia and NATO are not even in the same league as far as imperialistic tendencies. NATO has intervened to actually protect civilians. Russia just claims to be doing that while in reality murdering innocent men, women, and children by the thousands.

          Your point of this conversation is to make a moralistic argument of how evil Russia is. Moralistic arguments don’t really work when you’re trying to understand politics.

          I agree that Russia is committing atrocities. You failed to give a reason why this is happening, other than “they are evil”.

                If you read the comment that I was originally responding to:

                NATO has basically been on the same path since its conception (check the Nazis that ended up in NATO high command!), but of course, two wrongs don’t make a right.

                … you’ll see that I was addressing the thought that Russia and NATO basically have the same goals, (i.e. imperialism), which any thinking person can see is false.
