Right, because they were considered the biggest threat, if any country was going to go "Germany" it would be Russia/USSR.
That doesn't prove anything, Russia excels at Intelligence programs, so if anything there were ulterior motives. "Russia. Crap military, fantastic intelligence agency" ~Some comment I saw here once.
Are you serious? Attacking sovereign countries to show other sovereign countries in an alliance that you won't attack them?
Yea no, he doesn't want to attack NATO yet, he wants to slow down its growth because he wants Russias military growth to outpace it first. Then when he feels good and ready then will be the attack.
Unlike Drump, Putler isn't stupid, he has a plan and he's executing it. And a big thing about plans, you generally want to take certain actions at certain times
Okay great, we agree on the first quote. Why'd you use Germany as an example instead of Russia?
Second point. You think Russia is super sneaky or something? If they were, then how'd they lose Ukraine and had to invade? They're clearly lacking when compared to the West.
Third point, yeah, I'm serious. Russia won't attack NATO. They clearly don't want to fight NATO, hence preventing countries within their sphere of influence from joining NATO. Russia would get wrecked even if they somehow won. It's not worth it and if NATO was somehow weak enough that Russia could win, then they wouldn't need to fight. They could coerce/incentivize without invading.
