Hugo, here’s your chance to show some substance and shine.
Any suggestions?
NATO was created to resist the perceived threat from the Soviet Union which was dissolved years ago. The creation of NATO led to the creation of the Warsaw Pact, a reaction to the threat posed by NATO. Neither the Soviet Union nor the Warsaw Pact exist.
NATO is not a defensive alliance since it has been deployed without being triggered by a member being attacked, this is why NATO’s assault on Serbia was a war crime, it was not authorized by the UN which makes it an illegal attack on a sovereign nation, a war crime, just as with Ukraine today.
These are readily verifiable facts, I assume facts matter in discussions like this? just let me know if they are not and I’ll stop raising them.
Again that facts show that it is NATO that has been and continues to expand, do you deny this? (again just let me know if facts are unwelcome).
Russia has witnessed and persistently objected to, the Eastward growth of NATO, that is military bases armed with often US weapons and sometime US nuclear weapons. In 1990 the Soviet Union began to shrink yet NATO reacted by growing. As the Soviet Union continued to shrink NATO continued to grow.
It was inevitable that eventually Russia would be forced to act and so it has with Ukraine. Ukraine is now being used by NATO to fight a proxy war against Russia, destroy its economy and precipitate eventual collapse and break up just was the West did to Yugoslavia.
I posted numerous well articulated essays about the reality and threat that NATO poses to World peace if you simply want to cling to the belief that the West, NATO are benevolent, well intentioned in their activities and the the East (Russia, China etc) are evil incarnate then do so, many people prefer fantasy to reality and it just goes to show how powerful the western propaganda is since everything you say is a regurgitation of a pro-West media and not an objective impartial assessment of the facts.
Trolling me again, hassling me again, tut tut.
Also, water is wet. The US Department of Defense was originally named the Department of War. The name change was purely marketing. After WWII we said there was a domino theory, fight them there or they will come here. We made the USSR go bankrupt trying to be colonizers, like us. We ruined the economies in Central America, then complain when the victims want to come here for work. We had a brief "peace dividend, then we declared the forever war on terrorism. We are the only nation that has “theatres” in every corner of the globe. Even when step back and stop installing dictators, we still make sure our corporations are protected wherever they want to do business.

A mod doesn’t troll. Their job is to watch the forums, as well as participate if they have something say in a given forum.
Oh dear, careful there big guy, that persecution complex is rearing its ugly head.
Very well please delete my account, the incessant hostility and attacks on one’s character here to those who dissent from the preferred truth is quite evident, the site is hostile and I want nothing more to do with it. The site is close to useless anyway, the same old tired crew nagging at everyone else, its a social club not a discussion or debating site and its a tiny one at that.
I see the history and note this is another good poster being bullied off the site. Nice job mods.
Defending hugo is not a good sign. Making posts that just keep a question over and over is not a good sign. Show us some logic and evidence, that’s the reason for this forum
