Well, that's where this part of the debate started. By the usual suspects in here on this topic dismissing any notion that Putin acts on his own and h...
March 02, 2022 at 14:44
Nothing concrete can prove which it is? So invading Ukraine is the same as Sweden increasing its military spending and maybe joining NATO. Because it'...
March 02, 2022 at 14:36
Neither warrants blame on NATO. The argument is not about whether Putin feels the need to act, but who's to blame for his acts. Is blaming NATO for hi...
March 02, 2022 at 13:30
How is that in any shape or form not in line with the problem? Here's baby steps for your baby brain: 1. NATO is a defensive alliance that is made up ...
March 02, 2022 at 13:24
What has NATO done? What are you blaming NATO for? Answer already So building a defense within your own nation is considered an offensive act warranti...
March 02, 2022 at 12:48
But this is about blaming NATO for what Putin is doing. Stop fucking around and answer me what threats they've actually done. What Russia "feels" is a...
March 02, 2022 at 12:43
It doesn't matter if they were actually threatened, it doesn't matter the reasons. Maybe they wanted to be part of a defensive alliance just to be sec...
March 02, 2022 at 12:36
Who cares what they feel is aggression as long as no one attacks them? If I mount a defense in Sweden in order to feel safer against a possible Russia...
March 02, 2022 at 12:18
I've been presented with suspicions and speculations about NATO's guilt but nothing to explain how that guilt is logical. You have yet to connect the ...
March 02, 2022 at 12:12
Ugh... seriously how is this confusing? If someone feels threatened by Russia and they go into an alliance with others who also feel threatened by Rus...
March 02, 2022 at 11:54
What right have Russia to tell them to fuck off if they expand in collaboration with independent nations in Europe. Russia doesn't own Europe's indepe...
March 02, 2022 at 11:34
Works with people who can conduct diplomacy. Reading the manifesto of the new world order however, makes you question the ability of Putin to be a rat...
March 02, 2022 at 11:15
If Russia invades our nations, Åland would probably be a joint effort defense with both Swedish and Finnish forces working together. The Russian consu...
March 02, 2022 at 11:13
Putin doesn't care. Does it look like he cares for any kind of diplomacy, peace or collaboration with the world?
March 02, 2022 at 11:10
The problem becomes when suspicion is used as facts. When NATO gets "equal blame" for what is happening in Ukraine and any further action by Putin. Or...
March 02, 2022 at 11:09
Did NATO provoke Putin? When and how? The expansion itself can be provoking, but not in any sense that warrants guilt and blame on NATO. You also brin...
March 02, 2022 at 10:48
Why is it inane? Because you say so? Because it doesn't matter? Who decided that it doesn't matter if NATO threatened directly or not? If someone atta...
March 02, 2022 at 10:15
And this is my point exactly. His feelings of a threat do not equal NATO actually threatening. Expanding security for nations, them joining to seek se...
March 02, 2022 at 09:50
"It seems", but is it? I'm specifically asking for examples of operational practices that prove that NATO can be blamed for Putin's aggressive acts an...
March 02, 2022 at 09:31
What threats has NATO done to Russia? As in my answer to Isaac above, how would you argue for NATO's guilt in all of this, like if we were in court, h...
March 02, 2022 at 09:06
First, separate NATO and US. The US is part of NATO, but NATO is its own entity. Otherwise you need to prove that NATO is being run by the US and not ...
March 02, 2022 at 09:03
I think Åland and Gotland would be attacked first with ground troops under a heavy barrage of air strikes along the coast. I would really like to see ...
March 02, 2022 at 08:55
Yes, this is why I'm careful about it. But if it's state media, by order of Putin as the declaration of victory over Ukraine as it reads, then the rea...
March 01, 2022 at 23:06
Yeah, and everytime I hear anything about NATO "forcing" people to join I just cringe. But when I mention that Sweden and Finland are considering it a...
March 01, 2022 at 22:57
Or it's just the delusional empire ideas by Putin as is present in the paper that got leaked. It's easy to dismiss a simple solution to the reasons Pu...
March 01, 2022 at 20:16
Read the publication of the paper that were supposed to be released when Russia won the war in Ukraine. It's clear what Putin promised Lukashenko. If ...

March 01, 2022 at 18:32
Are you unable to write in a normal way or do I have to use your rhetoric since you don't seem to understand when I write how it actually works? Does ...
March 01, 2022 at 17:45
Strategic by the nation asking or NATO, there's a difference there. So, nations who are worried Russia would invade them are morons because they seek ...
March 01, 2022 at 17:27
But, there were acts of influence through social media to influence the election, therefore they got criticized. There have been numerous doping scand...
March 01, 2022 at 17:17
You don't know what I campaign or support outside of this discussion. What the fuck kind of argument is that other than being incompetent in making ac...
March 01, 2022 at 15:16
I responded to the way you fragment out points out of context of a whole argument. This is a way to effectively strawman through formatting. I don't f...
March 01, 2022 at 15:01
So Jens Stoltenberg is acting to further the US interests? How do you support such a claim?
March 01, 2022 at 13:55
Like a proper democratic vote. That is what they should have had, not what they got, as precisely what I wrote. Did you actually read what I wrote? Yo...
March 01, 2022 at 13:52
You don't see the context I brought that up? It doesn't matter what the details are, the context was that if borders were to be redrawn under modern i...
March 01, 2022 at 13:43
The world isn't a football game and there is no conflict with Russia like your analogy here describes. Most nations have had trade deals and good rela...
March 01, 2022 at 13:41
Uhm... like Eu? Like UN? You do know there are forms of unions that are based on a mutual plural rule as a parliament. In which a mandate period is be...
March 01, 2022 at 13:00
By this logic, all of Norway should just call themselves Swedes. Borders in the modern world are respected in another way than pre-world war eras and ...
March 01, 2022 at 12:57
Another question I want a simple answer to from you: Can you pinpoint which foreign interventions that US has done that complies with the definition o...
March 01, 2022 at 11:54
I want to have simple answers from you: How does NATO expand? In practice, how does it expand? Are they forcing themselves into nations or are nations...
March 01, 2022 at 11:50
Fragmentational dilution of my writing like this becomes a childish way of discussing a topic. I won't fall for cheap tricks like this, ugh... Wait, a...
March 01, 2022 at 11:39
This. I think that those criticizing American exceptionalism by blaming the US for everything are unintentionally being the ones believing in American...
March 01, 2022 at 10:03
This is another hint at his mental problems. There's no contingency plan for retreat, it almost seems to be "do or die". No no, he is still the best f...

He won't, it's too embarrassing. ...if he doesn't cook up a really good story for his state media to spin so his people won't unity in hanging him out...
February 28, 2022 at 17:10
With the rate this is going, he won't be able to access anything soon. I just have hope that his and his Oligarchs money gets transferred into help-ai...
February 28, 2022 at 17:01
Putin can stop it. He could spin the news however he wants, make it look like he "won and withdrew all the brave saviors of Ukraine" and then push to ...
February 28, 2022 at 16:52
Just explained how I work on my speculations, but you ignore that and just blah blah blah Chill down please. I've explained in length exactly how US, ...
February 28, 2022 at 16:09
That was in response to Isaac, since he countered all my speculations on solutions with "the west and US is to blame". But since we are on a philosoph...
February 28, 2022 at 15:50
No, the "answers" or rather speculations I conduct are not easy answers. They're just in a compressed form. Why do you think papers are hundreds of pa...
February 28, 2022 at 15:48
