Okay great, we agree on the first quote. Why'd you use Germany as an example instead of Russia?
Second point. You think Russia is super sneaky or something? If they were, then how'd they lose Ukraine and had to invade? They're clearly lacking when compared to the West.
Third point, yeah, I'm serious. Russia won't attack NATO. They clearly don't want to fight NATO, hence preventing countries within their sphere of influence from joining NATO. Russia would get wrecked even if they somehow won. It's not worth it and if NATO was somehow weak enough that Russia could win, then they wouldn't need to fight. They could coerce/incentivize without invading.
Yeah... I really don't think that analogy fits this situation. Actually that's really funny since the fundies on lemmygrad would absolutly agree with you that ACAB.
