I would also add point 3: Joining economic and military-political alliances like NATO.
NATO is purely an American tool which I wouldn't even call an alliance and its purpose is only one thing: a military proxy to counter Russia. It is not to protect NATO members, it is only to protect US.
As you know from history, there has never been a single case of a crazed aggressor attacking a country with greater military, technological, and economic potential.
The "biggest" member of NATO is being attacked every day. USS carney is back to Djibouti port for repairs again after yesterday's attack
The peculiarity of bastard regimes is meanness and cowardice, so they attack only countries that are guaranteed to be unable to resist.
Exactly. This is why United States has only attacked disarmed and extremely weak countries like the disarmed Iraq, the cavemen controlled Afghanistan, etc.
1. Wrong opinion! If you study history, NATO was created after the Second World War ended, the USSR occupied the countries of Eastern Europe, placing its troops there. NATO was created with a very specific purpose: to protect the freedom and security of all its member states through political and military means. Collective defense is central to the Alliance and creates a spirit of solidarity and cohesion among its members.
Since the risks of further escalation of the USSR to the West were very high, which the USSR had stated earlier. It is enough to study what the International is, the ideas of which were promoted from Lenin to Stalin. And there were absolutely no hidden goals - the occupation of Europe and other continents by the communist regime.
Well, if you study history, you will also find out that most of the NATO confrontation had nothing to do with the USSR/RF.
And as a fact, I can name a lot of examples where the USSR captured and occupied foreign territories, but you cannot give a single example where the United States, using NATO, annexed foreign territory.
2. You are confusing small terrorists, consumables, whom puppet masters throw at some US facilities. I was talking about a full-fledged military invasion. Don't confuse these two different entities.
3. You are again confusing operations agreed upon by the international community to restore order and destroy bastard, criminal, terrorist regimes that pose a danger to both their neighbors and the whole world. And the vile terrorist attacks from the near future are an attack by Russia on small Georgia, or on the same small Moldova, or, for example, on Ukraine, which is many times, obviously weaker and smaller. This is provided that none of the listed countries pose a threat to Russia or their neighbors.
