Trump is funny. Obviously. Terrible but hilarious. We don't back Russia we just understand NATO to generally be far more destructive and deadly. That's just old Tom Bombadilaros thoughts.

That's so dumb... To consider a defensive alliance more destructive and deadly that a corrupt state waging a war of expansion

A defence of what? The people who invented global warming? Nah, hard pass.

Sure it's defensive, I just wish the people it's defending were attacked more gigachad

Defensive alliance that bombs every third world country that dares to go against the interests of the imperial core? Who are they "defending again?

us-foreign-policy

Also how much has NATO expanded since the end of the cold war with its mafia protection racket style tactics in Europe?

Serbia, Libya, and Afghanistan were all defensive operations.

defensive alliance

NATO is defensive? lol, lmao

a corrupt state

That's Ukraine, it used to be considered the most corrupt place in Europe by the Western media right until February 2022

waging a war of expansion

That's also Ukraine since they're trying to take territory from the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics after they declared independence following the coup against Viktor Yanukovych in 2014
