    Why abandon the military alliance when you don’t know if the enemy is truly gone?

    To build trust.

    Russia does this shit because the Russian gov is imperialist

    Russia is also the prize. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Chessboard

    but the Russians must have objected to being treated like any weak economy. This should be the actual reason why Russia is not part of Nato.

    Idk what you’re even trying to say here

    Suggesting that they wouldn’t dismantle their power to the point that they get a regime change for independent politics like nationalizing the oil industry.

      To build trust.

      This is a common bullshit stance Russia apologists love to take.

      Why is the burden of building trust on NATO when Russia had just gotten done occupying and oppressing half of Europe?

      You understand nearly every single European country under the Iron Curtain wanted to diplomatically run to the West because of how fucking awful Russia was to them, right?

      Russia is also the prize. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Chessboard

      Ok rather than just slapping a reference and link to an entire article, why don’t you articulate the point you’re trying to get across than making me read through that entire thing to find your point?

      Suggesting that they wouldn’t dismantle their power to the point that they get a regime change for independent politics like nationalizing the oil industry.

      If you’re claiming Russia’s atrocities against Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya, Syria, (and everywhere they’ve sent the Nazi mercs Wagner is all to keep power, you’re insane.
