Firstly, absolutely nobody in this comment chain said Russia was at war with NATO.
Second, it’s Russia that started invading independent foreign countries in this recent conflict, of course Russia’s neighbours and their allies aren’t going to reduce their spending, they don’t want to risk being invaded or threatened.
Third, it is true that they haven’t really tried to deescalate the situation, but I don’t see how they could unless Russia accepts to entirely leave all of Ukraine’s territory, which Russia is unwilling to do. There can be no compromise here, anything else would make Russia the imperialist state…
And just stop with the personal attacks, they only end up making your arguments less credible
See, they get almost no sun there, the poor guys. Thank god there’s the oil industry and their
bribedpoliticians pushing their 100% environmentally friendly solutions for their energy that definitely will not be obsolete the minute they are finished!/s if it isn’t clear enough
