Not expanding NATO.
NATO started expanding before putin was in power. In fact Joe Biden warned the US government that expanding NATO will naturally provoke Russia.
Yep NATO is famous for defensive wars like the Defense in Iraq, the defence in Afghanistan, the defence in Libya, the defence in Syria and all.
Don't forget the defense on drugs.
And to add to that, Putin thinks that Ukraine shouldn't exist. So naturally what do you think the government of Ukraine is going to do?
NATO has been the driving force in expanding NATO. Literally none would care if we didn't have to worry about that asshole western neighbor
It’s also pretty silly because there are two NATO member nations closer to Moscow than Ukraine.
But hey, I can’t imagine why the people of all these democratic nations keep voting to join a mutual defense pact. It can’t be because of anything to do with fear of being invaded by the unstable dictator next door, after all, we know the world only exists of the US and Russia and no other people could possibly have a voice in their local government or matter in any way.
