Putin as been in power since 1999. In that time NATO countries have invaded (direcly or through proxy forces):
- Iraq
- Syria
- Yemen
- Libya
- Afghanistan
Just two days ago NATO countries conducted drone strikes in Somalia. NATO aligned forces have been conducting air-strikes and other forms of aggression against the Palestinians in their native lands. The destruction wreaked, the number of death and maimed, of those ongoing acts of war by NATO and NATO-aligned forces is very substantially higher thank those coming from Putin.
An interesting question is: is it irrational, in the light of this undeniable fact of NATO aggressions, to want to be safe from NATO?
