Go Brady Go…

There was a promise by NATO not to expand after the fall of the Berlin Wall. This deteriorating relationship began before 2014

they annexed Crimea and the world did nothing, yet people were shocked they invaded last month. People are stupid.

Very misleading article. It overlooks the promises of George Shultz and Chancellor Kohl with the Soviets under the 2 +4 reunification agreement of Germany. Only Germany was to be allowed to join NATO. NATO was not to move further East. This was also the advice of Kissinger.

I know one thing for sure: there are not enough women in this photo. Misrepresentation, for sure.

Wasn't Trump pushing for some sort of protection racket? Is Russia actually in phase 2 of THAT plan?

We only need to know they are the ones that never stopped the cold war. Otherwise, the world would be a better place. Dismantle NATO!

Knowing NATO from US run media is meaningless

All you need to know is that NATO won't do a damn thing except talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Just like 1936-1939, the West is run by cowards.

Pretty obvs you are propaganda when you don't dare mention the US backed coup against Ukraine's elected president. Acting as if Crimea was spontaneous & they didn't vote overwhelmingly in support of rejoining Russia.

you should be ashamed! To promote WAR ? Spreading arms across Europe and your celebration of that will come back to haunt you ! You should be promoting Diplomacy and encouraging POTUS to be diplomatic ShameOnYou

What it's doing for Ukraine? More like how it's using Ukraine. Or what it's doing with Ukraine. There are no good guys in this story. Only petulant rulers and the suffering masses.

Interesting this article doesnt mention the US backed coup in 2014

We don't need no narratives about Crimea from US.

I Love how Biden is trying to figure out what camera to look at and the guy next to him is trying to help, but its too late xD

Did not the people of Crimea democratically vote by a overwhelming majority to leave Ukraine

npr why do you not report on the Donbas war since 2014? You left out the most important part of why Russia invaded Ukraine ? There is no context to your reporting ? There was no bloodshed in Crimea ? Russian troops came to protect the civilians and there was a referendum

NATO is a cunning organisation, When Russia dissolved warsa than why NATO was not dissolved ? on the contrary these bastards started luring warsa released countries into their fold.

All you need to know about NATO is it was formed to fight USSR and USSR is long gone. NATO spread after, looking for enemies to justify its existence. It's as much a part of what's gone wrong in Ukraine as Russia is. 🇺🇦is and has been for years a proxy war and NATO doesn't want☮️

NATO is basically USA foreign policy. This cold war relic should be disbanded as it represents an existential threat to the security of the world. Do not trust organisations with warmongering intent.

We dont need lectures about NATO from US State Run Media.

NATO = Joke

NATO is infinitely better today than it was just a few years ago when DFG tried to destroy it.

Not one black head in sight I’m over it where r we

If the West still thinks that they are in control, they are simply dillusional. Poor western populations will feel the economic squeeze that their own governments are putting them through.

abolishNATO

LeMickey could never
