rotect those countries from any military aggression from another country and without NATO we would probably have been involved in another world war by now with Russia's recent antics.
What has Russia done? Aside from looking after her own national security interests in the Crimea in response to Washington's "Playbook" CIA Coup d'état against the democratically elected government of the Ukraine in 2014?
Who is siting nuclear missiles along the length of who's border (and installing a "defensive" missile system alongside its offensive missiles at the same time to compliment each other)? Answer: Not Russia.
What would be the reaction in Washington I wonder if Russia or China installed nuclear missiles in Mexico alongside the borders of the U.S.A.?
NATO troops are also massing along Russia borders as we speak. And conducting large scale and potentially highly provocative military exercises at the same time. Again right alongside Russia's borders..
I would politely suggest the real aggressor here is Washington/NATO. Not Russia.
One could make the same claims against Washington in the South China Sea also..
I am tbh confused how anyone might interpret the current situation in the world as anything other than aggression and provocation on the part of Washington and the banking interests which seem to influence Washington in its foreign policy agenda.
My genuine concern is that mainstream media propaganda in the West has now overtaken reality. The reality concerning Russia, one might argue, is presently a sort of re-run of the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 but on a much larger scale and with the relative positions reversed. It seems funny to me how when Russia placed missiles on the island of Cuba in 1962 this was seen as dangerous and highly provocative (which it was although there was an explanation at least for this happening) but when Washington/NATO does the same thing on a much "grander" scale in 2016 it is immediately portrayed as "defensive" and "non-provocative" by the Western mainstream media. Really I think the hypocrisy involved in this is absurd. I do accept however that my personal opinion on this represents a minority viewpoint in the West.
I can't help but think that it is a very dangerous and a very funny old world that we presently live in. I suppose Russia taking the initiative to de-dolarise and seek its own currency and trading initiatives outside of the dollar frame-work might be considered a step too far as far as Washington and Washington's "owners" are concerned? I suppose one could suggest similar contradictions apply with regard to the U.S.A.'s heightened tensions with China also? Certainly I think there are two sides to every story at the very least..
Throw into the mix the proxy war in Syria and things do seem to be very precariously balanced at the moment to say the least.
I think this is why I don't take that much notice of the Western mainstream media these days if I'm honest..
