    Russia feels “threatened” by NATO.

    It’s a defense pact. As long as you don’t attack nothing happens - so why would you feel threatened by that if you don’t plan on attacking those countries?

      Okay, so Russia has been aggressive, but what about the time NATO attacked… uh… yeah.

          “What about that time NATO attacked genocidaires in the process of committing genocide on another country and stopped as soon as the genocidaires withdrew?”

          Yeah, I guess that was pretty horrific.

            Are you saying NATO in order to stop a genocide, they killed the side who started the genocide? Well that sounds exactly like a genocide to me!

          I’m not pretending that was a genius move from NATO or even that it was justified, but you didn’t have to read that far…

          The bombings continued until an agreement was reached that led to the withdrawal of the Yugoslav Army from Kosovo

            What about

            NATO launched its campaign without the UN’s approval, stating that it was inter alia a humanitarian intervention.

            and the fact that Yugoslavia had more than 1000 died and more than 5000 injured, while NATO’s loss was negligible?

      Who did Libya attack? Who did Syria attack? Who did Yugoslavia attack? Who did Palestine attack? Who did the Kurds attack?
