Countries joining NATO is a reaction to russia and putin. If russia wasn't constantly attacking or threatening its neighbours, then many countries would not join NATO.

It's understandable, but Russia isn't the only country concerned with its security. Russia occupied Eastern Europe for nearly half a century, so it should be understandable that they have security concerns of their own.

For the Nordstream, even if that's true, Russia clearly doesn't respect international law so why should other countries respect it while dealing with it?

@@k0rf3on6 The "No inch east" assurance and understanding are public record. The United States unilaterally abrogating the ABM, Open Skies, and START treaty framework are open record. The United States supporting the right wing coup in Ukraine in 2104 are backed by released phone calls from Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, interviews with Ukraine Right Sector activists, and from information obtained from Hunter Biden's laptop amongst other data. United States President Donald Trump was impeached in 2019 for instructing the state department and justice department to inquire about Hunter Biden's and Joe Biden's potentially illegal activities in Ukraine. Part of the articles of impeachment included, "President Trump withheld a White House meeting desperately sought by the Ukrainian President, and critical U.S. military assistance to fight Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine." That was $400 million in military, USAID, and other contracts that Trump halted to get answers on potential illegal activities by a former sitting Vice President and his family. At that time, the United States had been arming and training Ukraine's military and right wing militias in Ukraine - even though the State department had previously listed some of those groups as terrorist organizations. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh provided a detailed analysis of the United States and Norway involvement in blowing up the Nordstream 2 pipelines. Both United States President Joe Biden and Victoria Nuland, now Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, had threatened to "end" the pipeline earlier and boasted afterward. Also, Denmark and Sweden had investigated the cause of the pipeline explosion, and neither released the information citing security and political concerns. Denmark is a NATO member state, and Sweden has applied to be a NATO member. If It was Russia, they would have released the information immediately.

@@boredweeb867 Russia used the same international law NATO used to intervene in Yugoslavia and Kosovo.The blockade of Cuba by President Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis used the same principles of international law without the backing of the United Nations. If rules of law are only in effect for the NATO and the United States to act, and no one else, what kind of rules based law do we have? The United States used that same international law to invade Iraq on made up WMD, yellow cake uranium, and al Qaeda link charges they knew to be false. Under those circumstances, that is a violation of international law. Note here that Germans and Japanese were hanged after World War II for doing what the United States had done in Iraq ... an invasion that inflicting nearly 1 million Iraqi casualties. The conflict in Ukraine has always been about natural gas, oil, weapon sales, and U.S. power in Europe. The United States Obama/Biden Administration supported the Ukraine coup in 2014, and then changed U.S. law to allow U.S. exports of natural gas and oil products just months later in 2105. Attacking the Nordstream 2 was a political act of terrorism and an act of war on both Russia and Germany committed by the United States and Norway. Almost immediately afterward, Norway opened its own natural gas pipeline to mainland Europe.

@@Too-Odd You are just proving my point. International law is irrelevant to superpowers and right now, Russia is violating it in a worse way by doing a war of conquest than US did by blowing up a pipeline.

For Russia to join, they must accomplish the criteria that NATO gave to other European nations. This includes a total revamp of the Russian military to NATO standards for easy integration. Moreover, the new Russian Republic/Oligarchy should allow full democratic processes in and outside of politics. Alas, Russia did NOT want to accomplish the criteria back in 2001 for “some” reasons. Ukraine will also be needing to change their constitution just like other European states hence, I rest my case.

This was made before Finland joined

How come you didn’t mention the nation of Greece? Even worse, you name Turkey while showing the area of Greece as part of the addition to NATO of Turkey. Is this not incorrect?

​@@stevyd its correct 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

@@stevyd It should be the borders of modern day Turkey. Greek as an ethnic and cultural identity is as natural as a bottle of coke, it was and is an artificial construct made to weaken the Ottoman Empire (which is why xenophobia is a cultural and personal identity of many Greeks) Furthermore, the foundation of their “identity” is incorrect to begin with as people that inhabit this region are not related nor are the descendants of the Ancient Greeks, those people would be the Albanians and Macedonians to the north. Greece is an anarchist American protectorate with outdated,inefficient and illogical economic laws, crippling debt, lack of adequate government administration and the lack of unity within the people and the economy. The state of “greece” can be described as a state of feudalism with extreme militaristic values as their foreign policy and an state of mind not suitable with the technological and social advancements of the modern world. The land would be of better use by the Turks.

Jesse,what the fuck is this guy saying?

It's understandable that Russia feels threatened, but Russia isn't the only country whose interests matter. Judging by your name, you're German. Germany was at the frontline of the Cold War for nearly half a century, it's more than understandable that they wanted to push NATO as far east as possible.

You are crazy or troll ?

@@wacoslaw I'm a troll. Putin pays me.

@@michaelkovacic2608 Germany didn't have to be at the forefront of the cold War. After Stalins death, the ussr tried to open up to the west. All they asked for was Germany to be neutral. After all, Austria was. We could have had a united Germany in the 50's.

@Wolfgang Hachmuth yes I know. That may have been a missed opportunity, although I consider Germany's NATO membership to be beneficial - not because I like the USA, I don't, but because being a member of the most powerful military alliance the world has ever known is certainly very good for national security. We don't know how history might have played out, it could have been better or worse. I'm Austrian, and we really like our neutral status, but we cannot know if it would have benefitted Germany. Regardless, that didn't happen. It's more than understandable that after the Cold War, Germany wanted its territory to be secure. Just like Poland and the Baltics.

@@Velu0 They made a deal with the germans and NATO to stop the expansion of their alliance and germany also payed some money to them.

No they didn't In 2014, the former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev marked the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall by noting in an interview that that Nato’s enlargement “was not discussed at all” at the time: Not a single Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders didn’t bring it up, either. There was, he said, no promise not to enlarge the alliance, the only formal agreement signed between Nato countries and the USSR, before its breakup in December 1991, was the Treaty of Final Settlement with Respect to Germany. The promises made specifically relate to Germany, and the territory of the former GDR, which were on the deployment of non-German Nato forces into eastern Germany and the deployment of nuclear weapons - and these promises have been kept.

@@IrishCinnsealach that’s because NATO didn’t promise him anything lmfao fax are fax they said they didn’t want to expand East now the reason why no Eastern European country is complaining is because the only way they’re going to get that euro is if they join NATO or apply to join do you honestly think Serbia the closest friend to Russia would join NATO after NATO bombed them? they join to get that euro It’s a manipulation tactic The EU did to get more members for NATO the goal of NATO is to surround Russia and Belarus and do to them like they did to Serbia that’s why Putin didn’t want Ukraine or Georgia to join NATO because they would be at their borders

What's funny is that Putin helped the baltic states with border disputes so that they could join NATO.

Accordingto businessinsider article, it needs to be a democracy and that governing body needs to vote on it. I'm not aware of there needs to be a public vote, although that sounds reasonable.
