    It broke up nato by making countries who didn’t join for 50 years join it , see Sweden and Finland , wait, where is Finland geographically?

    Probably not on the border with the super mega power:D

      NATO has always been a US project. Without the US there is no NATO, Europe can’t even produce basic stuff like explosives at this point. And if you don’t understand that the US turning on Europe is the direct outcome of the war, what else is there to say really.

              Russia has never been an actual danger to the west, but it has been a great bogey man to keep Europeans under the US control. Europe was relevant to the US during Cold War because USSR posed an ideological threat to the dictatorship of capital. Now that Russia is capitalist, Europe has lost its value and it’s going to be cannibalized so that the US can focus on their new adversary in the Asia. Hence why NATO is now done.

      Sweden and Finland were already so integrated with the western military block through the EU that them officially joining NATO is less a material change and more a symbolic formality. Not to mention that the Finnish-Russian border is an even worst path to invade Russia from Europe than the already difficult paths through Poland and Ukraine, and we know how invasions of Russia through those routes tend to go.

      So it’s not the loss for Russia you think it is.
