    NATO isn’t an offensive alliance looking to grab land, unlike Russia, so calling ex-soviet states joining NATO an encirclement of Russia is a lie. Putin himself showed that he doesn’t care about NATO “encirclement”, as he not only accepted the “risk” of Finland and Sweden joining NATO, but also pulling troops from the finnish border to use as meat waves in Ukraine.


  • Ich würde vom Parabelritter gerne mal wissen, wie sich die Linken im Speziellen von den Bürgern auf dem Land wegbewegt haben sollen. Haben sich die Bürger nicht eher von den Linken wegbewegt? Es gab ja nich nie eine (mehrheitlich) Linke Landesregierung. Und die Wahlversprechen der Linken heute unterscheiden sich doch kaum von den Wahlversprechen von vor 20 Jahren.

    Oder ist mit der Aussage “Die Parteien haben das Land aufgegeben” gemeint, dass immer weniger soziale Strukturen auf dem Land gefördert werden? Dann ist das aber eine sehr hohe Messlatte, wenn den Linken vorgeworfen wird, dass sie nicht die sozialen Strukturen ersetzen, wie den Dorfkiosk, die Bar oder den Supermarkt, die von den regierenden Parteien vernachlässigt wurden. Besonders vor dem Hintergrund, dass die AfD die Strukturen ja auch nicht bietet. Bei der AfD reichen Hass und Hetze, aber die Linken müssen aktiv erst das Leben der Leute direkt besser machen, bevor sie überhaupt Regierungsverantwortung haben?

    Ich hoff ich hab meiner Verwirrung Ausdruck verleihen können, ohne selbst allzu viel Verwirrung zu stiften.

    And? A defensive alliance meant to defend against the Soviet Union and its immediate predecessor Russia is upsetting Russia? The shocker. Maybe the Russians should reflect on the fact why every former soviet state wants to join NATO. And Russia can’t join an alliance meant to deter invasions as long as Russia is in the business of invading its neighbors.

    NATO isn’t encircling Russia, free countries have made the decision to join NATO, going even so far as to blackmail the US to secure membership. They aren’t absorbed like a hostile takeover. Russia has only itself to blame for alienating its neighbouring countries, just as its war of aggression is to blame for Finland and Sweden joining NATO.

    Could Russia win? Surely. But at what cost? Russia is burning through record amounts of men, the average lifespan of a Russian infantryman once deployed is 36 minutes. This is the same as saying “Why should Iran continue to fight, the US is way more powerful.” Yes, but Trump doesn’t have the backing to start an all-out war against Iran and similarly, Putin is avoiding a general mobilization, as he’s dependent on the average Russian staying apathetic.

    And the Ukrainians have ample reason to resist Russian occupation all by themselves. The killings and disappearances following Russian occupation are a testament to that. Also, the amount of civilian targets hit by Russian drones makes it very clear how highly Putin regards the life of civilians.

    NATO wasn’t doing anything. Russia has gotten away with completely taking over Crimea nd establishing a permanent separatist foothold in Ukraine’s east. Ukraine would’ve never been able to join NATO. Germanywas close to acfivating NordStream2, giving Russia even more influence over european politics. But Putin wanted his vassal state back, similar to how Trump wants to regime-change Iran.
