- Russia invaded under pretext of "we are afraid of NATO".
- It prevents Russia from attacking Finland. They are less likely to attack NATO members and more likely to attack countries outside of the aliance.
NATO in Ukraine wasn’t a pretext it was (part of) the text. People in the West really seem to think Russia invaded to satisfy some vague desire for evil and villainy. People in the West really seem to think NATO and the EU being in a (proxy) war now with Russia over Ukraine disproves Russian concerns.
It prevents Russia from attacking Finland
Which was never going to happen. Zero reason. Impossible to sell to Russia’s allies on which it so depends, if we believe Western media. (Except now, of course, Finland has gained some nuclear targets on its map, in the event of. That’s the real 5D chess.) So there must be some other punitive quality to a country on the border of Russia becoming part of NATO.
I thought it was because of Nazis in Ukraine.
They just keep changing the message once they get bored and don't even try.
It's rather the opposite? It prevents NATO attacks from Finland; given how piss poor of a deterrent the Russian army is now, the nukes will most likely fly in this case.
