    NATO has never been a “defensive alliance” its entire formation and purpose was to destroy communist movements and stifle their progress, also NATO was literally founded with a bunch of Nazis in high positions of power.

      Yeah. But Russia isn’t communist though. NATO is just for stifling dissent from the US hegemony there’s no ideology beyond that.

        I think that’s more an issue of the organization having achieved its original goal of destroying the Soviet Union but institutions like to continue to exist so they had to find another big bad to focus on.

      Sounds good. Which result is this more likely to produce? I feel like maybe you meant to respond to someone else’s message, since you missed the question I asked in mine.
