in this case the external pressure is a rogue state doing a cheeky land grab on its neighbor
i'm not sure why that's nato's fault, although i'm very excited that you're about to tell me

no it isn't, and also, it's rent-seeking by having countries ask to join? yes this makes sense
even if that was an accurate description of nato, that's not an accurate description of a protection racket
Essentially, NATO serves as a protection racket

"wet bulb" isn't a term that's eerie and unsettling to anyone else?
does a boat swim
Harris's hands are tied due to a contract
the us stipulates what you can do with the weapons they sell you in the contract they give you, so the us could absolutely conjure up a legal reason to terminate it
people who bemoan the genocide
oh why won't those losers stop moaning about "genocide"
encouraging fascism by ignoring the contract
this is a nonsensical statement
respecting the sanctity of a business deal over the sanctity of human life is one of the core tenets of fascism
i don't think dog vomit is particularly yummy and probably tastes pretty chemically but dogs tuck into that shit like it's le cordon bleu
why did you eat cardboard soaked in ammonia
sugar is a "raw chemical" 🤓
i like to think my palate is slightly different to that of a dog
they evolved to basically survive on table scraps and other food humans didn't want to eat so i'm not sure our concepts of "peak taste" will be the same
people sometimes have to stop their dogs eating their own vomit
in the same way the us wouldn't be allowed to join csto
i don't see how it's nato's fault that people are so sick of russia's shit that they're signing up to the defensive alliance against them in their droves
nato expansion that existed because of russian land grabs
nato isn't the warsaw pact. they aren't sending in tanks to force people to be a part of their alliance.
this is just you doing the thing you accused me of doing by refusing to consider externalities
russia didn't start misbehavin' after 2022 either
east germany was part of the warsaw pact, and had plenty of ex-nazis in its ranks
the reason you can't draw a line from that to today is because the ussr folded like a cheap suit 30 years ago
you're just kind of saying things now
