“Whether you like it, or not, history is on our side. We will bury you,” he said quoting former USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev.

      no, but technically yes! Not like Russia needs to justify anything based on truth if that’s what they decide to do anyway though.

        Technically yes isn’t yes tho. I mean Russia will do anything to justify itself. The difference between NATO expansion and Russian expansion, Russia engages military operations while countries are trying to join NATO to protect themselves from Russia

          Oh yeah, and it’s just propaganda. If your home is being bombed and country being invaded does it matter the motive? not really.

              No one. Just the hypothetical. “I blew up your house because you are a nazi/fascist/commie!” Even if that’s a lie it doesn’t fix your house.

                so to be clear on the original point, NATO hasnt broken any treaty and its ‘expansion’ is people wanting to join so that they dont get invaded by russia
