@SW-User what is it with the russiaphobia? This is a tactic that's been used for decades and has come back en vogue.
There's an alternative narrative to Ukraine.....seems to be a cia backed coup there that backed the extreme right wing.
And a quick look at NATO positioning (surrounding russia), the history of NATO...the Berlin wall came down under the auspices that NATO forces would encroach further towards Russian boarders.....that was agreed verbally with the top brass of the US and russia. As soon as the wall came down NATO moved towards Russian borders. The response as to why they broke the agreement.....that Russia were foolish to believe a verbal agreement.
I'm not saying the Russian state is correct but it's worth mentioning these things.
Also, NATO was set up to contain the Russian threat. A European army would make it obsolete but no way will it be disbanded
