They’ve only ever threatened their neighbors during NATO expansion efforts.
Complete horseshit. They literally invaded and installed a puppet regime in Chechnia, and there were zero NATO "expansion efforts" there. And that is just one example out of many.
This is abuser logic. "If you would quit misbehaving, then I wouldn't have to hit you!"
Russia was threatening their neighbors before NATO even existed.
NATO existed before Russia, genius. It’s an anti-Soviet org.
Your immense historical knowledge seems to have missed the fact that Russia existed long before the Soviet Union, Einstein.
The Soviet Union was still Russia. They've not changed their attitude since then.
I see you haven't spoken to many people from Finland... Or Latvia... Or Syria... Or Chechnya... Or Ukrainians, for that matter.
You wanna name anymore western imperialist projects?
