       @FortyTwo guess it depends. If Russia is the Soviet Union, then it's NATO who's encroaching. But then again, if Russia is the Soviet Union, then all the "leave Russia alone, it's not Soviet Union anymore" narrative kinda falls apart, and if it is not, then nobody encroaches on anyone's territory, me thinks.

       @ThatCrazyDude I guess "promise" doesn't mean what it used to mean.

       @FortyTwo When talking about “whose territory” you need to clearly distinguish between what kind of frame of reference you’re using. Russian narratives are very vague and fluid on this aspect: one time they speak about internationally recognised and agreed borders, only to instantly switch to their subjective ideas of “our land” understood in terms of poorly defined moral sentiments. Under this framework basically every inch of land Russia or USSR managed to capture at some period in the past is “ours”, but of course this doesn’t work the other way around, so any land that someone once captured from Russia in the past isn’t “theirs” in Russian narrative.  It’s a very childish thinking really and you can only make sense of it if you’re Russian.Speaking from the perspective of #Poland, from legal point of view it’s neither Russia’s nor Soviet Union’s territory. It was invaded by Soviet Union in 1939 and then forcibly held in its zone of influence until 1989 under a threat of armed invasion. As a fully sovereign country after 1989, Poland has every right to join any military alliances it wished, and it did - after watching all the local wars started and fueled by Russia in 1990’s (Abkhazia, Chechnya etc) Poland applied to NATO and was accepted in 1997 along with a number of other Eastern European countries. Once again, speaking from legal point of view, it’s none of fucking Russia’s business what alliances a sovereign country of Poland joins, because it’s the whole point of sovereignty.#Russia understands this perfectly well, because when asked about the amassing of their armed forces on the border of Ukraine in 2021 they simply said the same as I said above: it’s none of nobody’s fucking business if we amass troops on our territory, because it’s our sovereign right. Once again, in their childish thinking it’s their sovereign right but other countries like Poland or Ukraine don’t have this sovereign right.Speaking of actual security risks, Poland never raised any territorial demands against Russia, while Russia frequently voiced various threats against Poland, for example when Poland dared to rename streets in its own towns. Therefore the only “security risk” for Russia from Poland - or #Ukraine for that matter - joining NATO is that it makes Russian invasion on these countries more difficult. And, of course, in Russian childish system of values invading another country is Russia’s sovereign right, but it’s not their right to take any measures possible to prevent that.Russia has its own internationally recognised borders and as long as it stays within these borders nobody is going to breach them (at least, not from the western direction).

       @kravietz For example, on February 6, 1990, when Genscher met with British Foreign Minister Douglas Hurd, the British record showed Genscher saying, “The Russians must have some assurance that if, for example, the Polish Government left the Warsaw Pact one day, they would not join NATO the next.”https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2017-12-12/nato-expansion-what-gorbachev-heard-western-leaders-early

       @kravietz in 30 plus years, NATO has continued to push eastward, but this seems to be the first inkling of Russia pushing westward.But I could be wrong.

       @FortyTwo Genscher repeated what Russians said they wanted at some point of negotiations. So what? No such declarations were ever placed in any official agreements, which means Russians never insisted on making them binding.  As a matter of fact, in 1999 Yeltsin said, while visiting Poland, that he doesn’t see any threat in Poland joining NATO!Funny how people are now cherry-picking alleged promises made to Russians, but forgetting that at the same time Russians also made plenty of promises, such as they just want peaceful cooperation and not going to invade anyone. Shortly after they not only had an armed putsch attempt by KGB to retake power in the country (1991) and shortly after started a number of hybrid wars (Abkhazia) and a hot war in Chechnya. And of course none of today’s Putinverstehers gives any fuck about  an immediate threat to all the Eastern European countries that these actions by Russia created to their newly acquired independence because they only care about Russian nationalists being happy 🤷‍♂️

       @FortyTwo You are wrong. NATO never “pushed eastwards”. It was Eastern European countries begging NATO to accept them as we were watching Russian nationalism and imperialism growing back under Putin, and his dogs publicly threatening to re-invade Poland and Baltics when were dared to change fucking street names in our own towns, remove fucking Soviet monuments or dig up bodies of people killed under Soviet occupation and call them victims of Soviet occupation! All of that predates any NATO membership by years. So if someone threatens you, you do whatever you can to prevent the threat, and that’s precisely why everyone who could joined NATO in Eastern Europe.

       @kravietz @FortyTwo nevermind war in Chechnia that's their internal affair but backing some separatists that they themselves have created in Georgia or even backing existing separatists in Moldova or Azerbaijan constitutes Direct Military Aggression (UNGA 3314 art. 3, g)) and when they resort to bombing campaign to 'back rebels' like in 2008, that made even Ukraine consider the MAP. Though Merkel and Orban killed the idea. And eventually the invasion started exactly by claiming unmarked Russian troops in Crimea or Dombass are 'rebel separatists'

       @Helgi Exactly, but I was referring to the pre-NATO period in 1990’s - I know personally people who fought in Abkhazia and Russia supplied both sides with weapons there, the practically started and sustained the war only to then introduce their “peacemakers” into Abkhazia, in the same way they did in Azerbeijan. And then in 1994 in Poland we saw a huge wave of refugees from Chechnya who were talking about the slaughter imposed by Russian troops. @FortyTwo

       @FortyTwo @kravietz That is really bullsh*t 🤦🏻‍♀️ Russia knows very well that the NATO never had any intention to attack RussiaAt the other hand terrorists state Russia has a very long track record of killing/rape/murder/stealing/slavery and destruction in their “brothers” countries 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s logic that at a certain moment those life threatened East countries are choosing to join the safe shelter of NATO #DefeatRussiaNow #NATO #Ukraine #RussianTerrorists

Are there Ukrainian Nazis or not? - https://archive.ph/Z9SpQHave Ukrainians been targeting ethnic Russians or not? - https://tass.com/world/1552099?You hate Russia.

       @kravietz @FortyTwo the real problem is those separatists looked fishy. What did Shamil  Basayev do in Christian conflict between Georgians, Arminians and Abkhazians? And those neonazi Russian chauvinist Kazaks who consider all those mentioned above 'dirty churkas', they got heavy weapons! So I suspected GRU campaign, with mercs and such. That's just like in Dombass, some Kazak neonazis dig out 300 mm (!!!) rocket systems somewhere and start 'protecting' people who never asked it

       @Helgi Oh, of course they looked fishy! There were a huge number of stakeholders in the war in Abkhazia:Abkhazians, who are Adyghe (North Caucasian) ethnic groups related to CircassiansThe Circassians who joined the war on the side of Abkhazians because they are relatedOther Northern Caucasus ethnic groups such as Chechens who joined the war on the side of Abkhazians for different reasons, including islam and solidarity within Northern CaucasusRussia was of course playing all of these groups. I know Basayev was getting suitcases of cash from Russia, and Russia was  not only supplying money and weapons to the Abkhazian side, but also facilitating movement of armed groups from Chechnya into Abkhazia on the territory of Russia. At the same time Russia was selling weapons to Georgia. GRU was likely involved at all of these stages.@FortyTwo

       @FortyTwo @kravietz I'm sorry, but this little game of cherry-picking random quotes from THE NEGOTIATION is meaningless compared to THE TREATY THAT WAS ACTUALLY ULTIMATLEY NEGOTIATED AND SIGNED.  The Soviets weren't blind morons who couldn't read the actual treaty that was agreed on in the end.And learn what sovereignty means.  It means that POLAND, not RUSSIA, decides the fate of Poland.  Same for Czechia, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithiuania, etc etc etc - and yes, Ukraine as well.

       @Helgi @FortyTwo funny that you've mentioned the UN. What's real funny about Russia there, is that Russia never applied, leave alone being accepted to the United Nations. All other republics of the former Soviet Union did, but Russia... Nah. And they're even on the security council somehow. Now that's something to pounder about

       @ThatCrazyDude @FortyTwo you can't even imagine what mess we could find when analyzing founding members. Taiwan (ROC) as China. USSR, Ukraine and Belarus listed separately!! That looked real fun if you ask me! But Putin could keep Turkestan countries, they don't even pretend to be sovereign

       @FortyTwo @kravietz Gorbachev himself, the man who SIGNED THE TREATY on behalf of the USSR, had this to say:https://www.rbth.com/international/2014/10/16/mikhail_gorbachev_i_am_against_all_walls_40673.html"The topic of “NATO  expansion” was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a singe Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders didn’t bring it up, either."

       @FortyTwo @kravietz Gorbachev is not an idiot.  You cannot just take random words from random negotiators ***trying to decide what to agree to*** and then pretend that those were the ***actual treaty itself that was ultimately agreed to***. Russia raised no objection to the expansion (their only focus was on ***the basing of troops***), while Bush flatly ruled out Baker's suggestion of prohibiting other states from joining NATO.  Hence it was NOT included in the treaty.

       @FortyTwo @kravietz Countries are sovereign. Period.  If Poland wants to join NATO and give Russia the middle finger, that's THE RIGHT OF THE POLISH PEOPLE.  I'll repeat: POLAND decides who they want to associate with, not RUSSIA.Eastern Europe by and large sees Russia as their former brutal colonial masters who they escaped from.  THEIR decision to seek to protect themselves from their (demonstrably) aggressively expansionist neighbor is THEIR CHOICE, and not at all surprising.

       @FortyTwo @kravietz Unlike before, the addition of Finland to NATO actually *did* add a huge amount of border between Russia and NATO.  And what was Russia's response once they were finally ratified?Basically "Meh."https://www.aa.com.tr/en/russia-ukraine-war/putin-explains-how-finland-sweden-membership-in-nato-different-from-ukraines/2627019Claiming it's fine because they have no "territorial disputes" like they do with Ukraine.  Which is a bald-faced admission that all that matters to him is ***seizing Ukrainian territory*** and not NATO.

       @nafnlaus @kravietz so, wait, you're saying that the eastern expansion agreement was never made, or because it wasn't written down it doesn't count.There's several people, on both sides that has said it was promised.  So, I don't think you're saying it was never offered.If you're saying it doesn't count because it wasn't written down somewhere, that just means people won't trust your word.  If you'll break a verbal agreement, there's nothing stopping you from breaking a written one.

       @FortyTwo @kravietz "Their border has shrunk" because during moments of weakness their conquered territories managed to break off and regain their freedom.  Russia managed bit by bit to claw them back. Tatarstan, Dagestan, and Ingushetia failed to break off, despite trying. Chechnya succeeded, only to be reconquered. Moscow quickly broke off Transnistria, then later Abkhazia and South Ossetia, then Crimea, then Donetsk and Luhansk, and is currently trying to take Ukraine as a whole.

Those were Russian troops, managing territorial militias.  Putin admitted in 2015 it was Russian special forces in Crimea in 2015, while they admitted it in Donbas last year.

       @nafnlaus @kravietz there's no evidence that they're trying to take over the whole Ukraine.They supposedly backed a war that lasted nearly 8 years, but they've rarely strayed away from the Dombas region until full-scale escalation.Putin claims that Ukraine has Nazis, which there's proof of, and that ethnic Russians have been mistreated, which there's proof of.Ukraine has the right to declare its sovereignty, does the Donbas region?  They voted to secede.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_the_Donetsk_People%27s_Republic_and_the_Luhansk_People%27s_Republic#:~:text=The%20DPR%20and%20LPR%20were,by%20any%20government%20except%20Russia.

First started awarding soldiers medals for serving in Donbas (back in 2017 if I remember right was the first one, for Debaltseve). 2021 a Russian court found for a caterer who was contracted to provide meals for the Russian army in Donbas. In 2022 they started recognizing it as a service location back to 2014 in military IDs.

       @FortyTwo @kravietz For God's sake, this Nazi (Rogozin) is Putin's personal friend who he put first in charge of Roscosmos (which makes Russia's nuclear missiles), then in charge of governing the territories conquered in Ukraine. *Well known* in the Russian white nationalist community for speaking at their rallies.How long does one need to go on?Anyway, you're on mute now for repeatedly ignoring things I've posted and acting like I never said them.

       @nafnlaus @kravietz Listen, I've tried to present, linked information to offer an opposing side and show that's, while Russia is not innocent, they're not the bogey man either.You have a hard on for hating Russia and it's clouding your judgement.

       @nafnlaus @kravietz Your narrative isn't coherent:* Russia is simultaneously ruthless and expansionary, yet they've lost territory* People should be self-determinant, but not the people of the Donbas region* Ukraine has a nazi problem, b-b-but Russia has one too, and it's worse* You can trust information coming out of Ukraine (polls, votes, etc) *even though* it is one of the most corrupt countries in all of Europe

       @nafnlaus @kravietz Also, just for shits and grins:* The current US President is currently in a scandal involving bribery associated with the Ukraine* Financial aide sent to the Ukraine, by the US, was funneled by the Ukraine through FTX and Sam Bankman Fried to Democrat US politicians* Sam Bankman Fried has just had charges dropped* Financial aide to Ukraine has been embezzled, in the middle of a war, by Ukrainian leaders* Military weaponry donated to Ukraine has turned up on the blk mkt

       @FortyTwo @nafnlaus @kravietz Dude, they annexed the regions! That nobody recognizes that and that they aren't able to control them doesn't change anything about their intentions!No "Helping ethnic Russians", whoever they count as those. Everybody is treated like shit there, I talked to the (Russian speaking) victims.

       @FortyTwo @nafnlaus @kravietz The Kremlin has been claiming for months that they had no intention to invade Ukraine before 24 February 2022. Then Putin ordered a full scale invasion of Ukraine. Then for months the Kremlin stated they wanted a.o. to secure the independence of the DPR and LPR. They on 30 September 2022 Putin annexed them. All recent history, all very public. Why would anyone pay any attention to what the Kremlin claims?

       @useless_idiot @nafnlaus @kravietz Again, I'm not claiming that Russia is innocent in all of this.Ukraine is a corrupt shithole.  In the midst of war, they've sold military aide intended for its defense on the black market, they've laundered money intended for their war effort.Also, very recent and public.Why would anyone trust Ukraine as the font of all truth?

       @FortyTwo @nafnlaus @kravietz You literally said: "Russia doesn't claim that it wants to take over the Ukraine. ", as if that means anything. Making it very clear that you believe what the Kremlin says. What does the corruption of Ukraine (which is mostly caused by Russian meddling, and which the Ukrainians want to get rid of since their independence) have to do with this war? Do you really believe it will get better when Putin's friends are completely in charge?

       @useless_idiot @nafnlaus @kravietz Where does Russia claim that it wants to take over the Ukraine?  How can I believe what the Kremlin says when they haven't said it.Ukraine wants to get rid of corruption sooooo bad, that they've laundered financial aide to support their war effort, sold military equipment on the black market intended to defend their homeland...They're liars and crooks and there might be truth to Russia's side of the story.

       @spitfire @kravietz @FortyTwo Russians just went bankrupt because the oil cost 18 dollars a barrel for 3 decades. They were not in position to demand anything. They just submit to all demands. Then Yeltsin decided Russia quits USSR to save money and the rest followed.

       @FortyTwo @nafnlaus @kravietz So if it turns out the Bidens are corrupt the Kremlin can bomb the USA?Moscow doesn't try to destroy* the Ukrainians because of corruption. Officially it's because of Denazification (kudos that you didn't fall for that), Protecting LPR/DPR (those people are fleeing over here), and Demilitarization. What do you think the Russian story is?*yes they do, untargeted strikes, the power system, and on the Russian TV, they want to drown the Ukrainian children.

It doesn't make any sense.I probably wouldn't sell weapons intended for my country's defense on the black market. I probably wouldn't take financial aide that was intended to support my country's defense and line my pockets.$75 Billion in aid, from the US alone.  US stingy on gas?
