The NATO thing that Putin fanboys, and other idiots who wish to avoid decisions that may pose a risk to their wealth accumulation, use to justify Russia's hegemonic ambitions is of course utter nonsense. NATO is a defence treaty, membership of which does not compel a member state to subscribe to any dogma of another other than honouring the primary directive that " an attack on one is an an attack upon all ". It's formation arose out of the USSR's quest for world domination under its bankrupt communist regime.
NATO has only mounted two concerted military operations since its inception : Bosnia/Serbia and Afghhanistan.
Russia since 1994 has invaded Chechnya, Georgia, and now Ukraine but has also subverted Belarus and is in the process of undermining the 'stans and has threatened the Baltic states.
Convincing third world Russian cocksuckers and the usual sleazy Asian dross, that citing NATO as a hegemonic tool of aggression by the US is beyond stupidity, is bad enough but when western saps with their pointy heads up their arses start spouting the same nonsense then you know you are in trouble.
Putin has been peddling this propaganda for so fucking long it has now become an orthodoxy of its own and certainly when the West did nothing after his invasions culminating in the 2014 Crimea occupation, other than tepid sanctions, he reckoned UKR was his for the taking.
Poland should now release its surplus aircraft with the tacit support of NATO.
The only way to deal with Russia is by the use of crushing force, militarily and by economic means.
Kruschev got his arse kicked out after the Cuba thing, now Putin is going down as the failed tyrant who led Russia back to the days of commie bankruptcy.
Sabang is an idiot.
