Fuck the Poles, Estonians, and so on who didn’t want to risk living under Moscow‘s boot once again, or what? They can decide themselves who they want to ally with and NATO was where they felt safe. Without EU and NATO, Russia would have taken the Baltic states 20 years ago.
For people like you only world powers matter.
No, I stand firmly with all nations aggressively atacked. Russia is an imperialistic state clearly at fault here taking land, oppressing people and taking lives.
My point is that the meme makes it seem like NATO expansion is a narrative that's being superimposed to the little girl Russia, who does genocide for the fun of it by someone else.
This is not the case
Its a narrative they themself push since Gorbachev. Putin doesn't wake up and decides to convert his whole economy to war economics and invading countries for the fun of it. Its a geopolitical/imperialistic struggle for power with the west with a long history.
The west did nothing to stop the nazi Poland invasion. Did nothing to stop the Chekoslovakia invasion before, or the Denmark and Norway invasions. Did block anti-fascist assistance to spanish civil war. Did nothing when a still demilitarized pre-nazi Germany fashioned fascist militias as state security officers.
The west literally sat by watching the WWII unfold while eating popcorns until they were kicked out of Dunkirk.
