I get that Putin hates NATO, and that NATO expansion weakens his foreign influence. So he… invades Ukraine? Which is officially the precise reason why Finland pulled the trigger and joined NATO.
So I still have the same questions: How does the war benefit the Russian people? How is it a good response to NATO expansion? And what would have happened to Russia if Putin didn’t declare war? Would it have been worse than global economic sanctions and Finland joining NATO (not to mention the cost of war itself)?
The BRICS is now a bigger economic bloc than the G7
Yeah that’s mostly China (and India) though.
Russia says that it is willing to challenge NATO militarily.
Russia also said the war would last 3 days. And that they were freeing the Ukrainians from nazi jews.
OK so the reason is fear of nuclear weapons creeping closer? But NATO already has dozens of nuclear warheads in range of Russia, doesn’t it? Seems like bullshit to me, and seeing you gloating about the rise of BRICS vs the west makes me think I’m right.
Yeah sorry but that doesn’t make any sense to me.
