Atleast in the setting of the cold war
For no good reason.
We want them as a NATO partner
They're always starting shit.
For our strategic positioning in the east
Fuck NATO.
We don't need NATO at all.
We use them as a base of operations against "Russian aggression"
And now terrorists
And I wouldn't be so sure.
Then we need to ally with Russia immediately.
We just had Russia invade Ukraine and get away with it lmao
If NATO dissolves
Then what lol
If NATO dissolves, nothing would happen.
Only there would no longer be a standard quo of anti imperialism against Russia
One they already showed they dont care about too much anyway
But there is a reason they went after Ukraine
If we ally with Russia, there would be no more fighting and NATO would be irrelevant.
And not a NATO member
And we won't ally with Russia
Russia is more powerful that NATO.
No it isnt
We still maintain the first use policy
Russia and the US have an opportunity to control all militaristic activity.
And what NATO is, is a line in the sand saying We'll nuke the shit out of you
It you invade these countries
Ukraine wasnt on that list of countries.
Then why can't we have NATO stick around while US and Russia become allies to conduct peacekeeping operations and end the fighting completely?
Because thats in neither party's interests?
The only reason Russia is there is to project power abroad
And to try and fill a void the US left
So...fighting is within every party's interest?
Yes, essentially
They're jockeying for competing positions
I.e. hedgemon in the east
Then the only way for fighting to stop is if these empires are made to look like the assholes that have killed millions of innocent people...not ISIS.
Yea but they already look like that
And nobody cares
Because Liberalism
