By accepting countries that really wanted out from the genocidal boot of Russians? Yes.

You're saying Russia was genocidal when it stopped being communist, became capitalist, and the Americans came in to liberalize it's economy?

Is that the same "genocidal" that the Nazi officers who were put into command positions in NATO were guilty of?

Yes it was. Look at what they did to Chechnya. Was that Americans fault too?

Are you talking about the 1944 mass deportation of Chechens, which only the European Parliament has recognized as a genocide? Or are you talking about the literal war between Russia and Chechnya at the turn of the 21st century that no one has recognized as a genocide because the casualties are smaller than pretty much every US military engagement in the last 70 years?

We are talking about the same country that invaded Chechnya, Moldova, and Georgia before doing the same in Ukraine, right? Just making sure.
