The only reality so far is Russia invading its neighbors.
This sort of pithy reasoning is what is wrong with our liberal establishment.

Whether it made sense for NATO to expand or not is moot, it made sense for those Nations to join NATO. If Russia doesn't like it, that's Russia's problem.

It is a simple statement of fact. Please cite an example of Russia's neighbors invading it since the break up of the Soviet Union.
As I said, NATO expansion effectively means that potentially hostile forces are like 1000 miles closer to Moscow than they were during the time of the Soviet Union. That is effectively invading its space and challenging its strategic calculations.
It isn't that hard to imagine. The USA went bonkers when Cuba decided to host nuclear missiles. They are a sovereign state, no? They had the right to do whatever they wanted, no? Was the USA wrong to tell Cuba no nuclear missiles?
You seem to be contradicting yourself a lot of the time.
Then argue it instead of throwing out this accusation with nothing backing it up.
You have not thrown out a single thing as proof for your blithering, and I won't waste my time.
More like you are so trapped in the PC unreality bubble like the rest of the HRC cliche that you refuse to consider alternate POV. And you are unwilling to contemplate it, a sure sign of the intellectual rigidity which has destroyed the D party.
You have not thrown out a single valid thing as proof for your blithering, other than a couple YouTube videos, so I won't waste my time.
Vlad Putin has had political opponents arrested on trumped up tax charges, jailed for several years. Others have been killed, including a reporter. TV stations have been taken over by force, including Russia's largest social media platform VK.COM for opposing Putin (they were sold to units of GAZPROM, Russia's largest energy concern worth hundreds of billions...and Putin secretly owns a large piece of it). He is pretty evil.
However, we have to deal with Vlad Putin because he will likely be its dictator for life.
Interesting how the op starts a thread asking for info and then proceeds to shoot everything down as some form of liberal propaganda. Guess this really was a troll thread. Thumbs up op.lololololololol

Uh, then who is he?
As I said, I paid more attention to China before Russia. The stuff China does is more extreme than these stories of Russia.
Last I checked, China hasnt invaded any official territory of other countries yet.
Yeah, most of his threads seem to be.Interesting how the op starts a thread asking for info and then proceeds to shoot everything down as some form of liberal propaganda. Guess this really was a troll thread. Thumbs up op.
