It's time to face that russia has been at war with NATO for a long time now.

[–] MovingThrowaway@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

Not just a long time, that's been the primary purpose of NATO since its inception

The only ones that ended the cold war were the west, Russia was always still considering the west as an enemy.

Incoming hurt tankie feelings…

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wait what? I thought tankies were those sleeveless t-shirts you wear when it's too damn hot.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

No no it’s like a regular tank, just you know - smaller n stuff

Wow, you really triggered them clowns.

Like flies to honey.

The whole basis of NATO's alarm here is actually hurt feelings, look at what 'hybrid activity' consists of? We literally played "made you look" with a terror alert that expired weeks before the Ukraine-linked Crocus Hall attack, then tried to act like the alert hadn't expired and they were ignoring it. They're complaining that "Russians" (which as Twitter Leaks show can have a wide-ranging definition including Susan Sarandon!) hurt their feelings online.

Anarco-NATOists are the most insufferable people on the planet.

Signed an anarchist.

Must be true, because you lot can’t pass up a chance to get hot and bothered.

Signed, an anarchist (you gotta put the comma in there, or else tell us what anarchist you signed).

Speaking exclusively to Euronews in September, Estonia's foreign minister Margus Tsahkna warned of Moscow sending migrants across their 300km long border as a form of hybrid attack.

MFW I'm in a comical racism competition and my opponent is a Baltic government official squidward-nervous

I'm sounding the alarm over hostile activity in my tummy, which is realistically a much more immediate threat to nearby life and infrastructure.

Two Volga-Germans were arrested on terrorism charges, because they wanted to attack the Grafenwöhr Training Area. Those useless bastards are licking Vlad's ball sweat living in a 1st class country can shove off to Mother Fucking Russia.
