      What Putin wants is to normalize his provocations while driving a wedge between NATO members he can intimidate and those he hopes in invade someday.

        What evidence is there that Russia wants to invade NATO countries?

        Edit: downvoted for asking a question. Interesting.

            Yeah we should just accept the neocon narrative without question like good sheep.

          Well, since you don’t seem to pay much attention to history, current events, or geopolitics, there’s no way to answer your question without writing you an essay and that’s not a reasonable thing for you to expect of strangers on the internet.

          Yes, multiple declarations and menaces made on Russian Public channels by Russian Public servants. It’s important to know that the Russian state has power over the editorial choices of those channels.

              See Vladimir Soloviev (journalist, presenter on the public funded Rossiya 1 channel), Dmitri Medvedev ( current vice president of the Russian federation security council), Margarita Simonian (public servant at Russia Segodnia).

              Do your own research, it should be easy enough.

                OK and former Fox News presenter and now Secretary of War Pete Hegseth gave a beligerent speech where he effectively declared that war would be coming to America’s enemies. Can we now accept that America is hellbent on escalating tensions?

    1. She has no military authority.
    2. See 1.
    3. She says so only after Trump says he would allow it.
    4. Trump didn’t breach the subject first. Poland and Estonia did.
    5. If weapons and carriers without US tech are used, there is no need to talk about it with the US or NATO or even the EU before acting.
