Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022
What difference does NATO membership make? Declaring hot war on Russia means declaring war on the entire unaligned world. Countries like China, India, Brazil, and other major powers are not aligned with Western European/American hegemony and anti-western politicians will gain significant power by tr...
