When did they escalate fecal matter in Bosnia?NATO was never a threat to the Ruskies it was a defensive organization for tactical and strategic planning....As far as a military force it's not much...He is campaigning on a charge that it is the US which is evil and aggressive in world politics...Which is true...Yet it is true that Pootin has his own agenda at regaining lost power..You can tell by his announcement of new weapons which will destroy NATO yet NATO is no threat to Pootin and Russia. NATO fears Russian invasion..That is not what Putin is saying..
I didn't see that either.
They were at one point a Super Power and Putin (or anyone else in that position) will attempt to regain that status. It's a given. NATO is a cold war relic. It was an alliance that was created as a defense against the then Soviet Union with the Treaty of Brussels as a precursor. There are 29 member countries. If there is no threat then NATO has clearly outlived it's usefulness and is clearly a waste of time and money.
So, just so we are clear, should 29 countries create an alliance for tactical and strategic planning in preparation for an attack by the US then no one should bat an eye because it really is just a defensive organization.
NATO escalated shit in Bosnia and was all about creating conditions for exploitation in Libya.
