The corporate media says Putin wants to take over the world, and Trump says Zelenskyy somehow managed to trick the US into supporting him — but the reality is that NATO’s long-term strategy of expansion towards Russia’s borders made war inevitable.
The only REAL path towards peace is the abolition of NATO!
Maybe Baltic States,Poland, Czechia etc. just want to give a big, fat fu*k to USSR after decades od ocupation?
Edit Jest noticed, that this map split Czechoslovakia before it even happened.
The Soviet Union was dissolved, countries normally don't react on emotions, but material conditions. Countries either join NATO, or are under constant threat from NATO, in which instance it makes far more sense to join it as a poor country devastated by the reintroduction of Capitalism.
Or get this we don't want to get invaded again.
I'm sure some people believed that too, but NATO isn't a charity case. It's dominated by the US and is used to advance Imperialist interests through measures like Operation Gladio. Well, it's dominated by the US for now, looks like that may change this admin.
