    And what history does NATO have of using their arms for offensive purposes, rather than defense?

      A really big history… Take a peak at what countries are in nato and realize they have a long history of being directly in conflict with Russia/Soviet Union.

        You mean like being a part of the USSR and wanting nothing to do with them?

          Or directly fighting them and having a 40 year long cold war. Maybe most of those countries have been in direct war with russia in recent memory.

            Or maybe Ukraine isn’t the aggressor here and Putin is proving why Ukraine wants to be in NATO

              Ukraine is not the aggressor, I never said it was. What I will say is that this was was 100% preventable with the promise that Ukraine would not join nato. It was a known red line, and it was crossed. “BUT UKRAINE CAN DO WHAT IT WANTS!!!” Great, and NATO can directly say we dont want a conflict and we dont want Ukraine to be a part because we know it is a line that will likely trigger a war.
