    TL;DR from article:

    Under the 1997 NATO-Russia Framework Agreement, NATO has pledged not to permanently deploy significant forces in central and eastern Europe […] However, Russia has committed to refrain from aggression against its neighbours and is not complying […] As a result […] the Alliance is no longer bound by restrictions on the expansion of forces in its eastern flank.

      Huh, it took Russia just a little over a decade to break that agreement by invading Georgia. Looks like NATO has had plentiful justification for the past 14 years to declare Russia in breach of the agreement.

        Sounds like you cant wait for nuclear war. Rest assured that your country will be the main target for Russia.

          Russia wants to start a nuclear war?

            Anybody with a couple of brain cells to bang together understands that it doesn’t matter who starts the nuclear war. Only an absolute idiot would cheer on conditions that make a nuclear war increasingly more likely.

              Are you by chance referring to Putin hinting in February that he might start a nuclear war if he felt like Ukraine’s allies were too involved in stopping the Russian invasion? Because I’m gonna have to put that one on Putin.

                Russia’s policy on the use of nuclear weapons is public and clear. When somebody spells their red lines out for you and you cross them, then you share the blame. Again, moral superiority is worth nothing when you’re dead. I guess idiots will die smugly though.
