NATO did start the conflict
According to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg;
The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.
The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that.
So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.”
I know you think you’re very clever for not buying into such obvious russian disinformation, but they don’t need to lie about stuff like this. Start doing a bit more research instead of taking news at face value.
That is not NATO starting any war, anyone wirh the reading comprehension of a six year old understands that. Don’t fall for Russian propaganda, FFS.
So, you’re saying that Putin sent demands to NATO, saying they either bend to his will by removing their protection from a large portion of their member states or he’d start a war, and by not signing it NATO are responsible for starting the war? I just want to fully understand your position on this.
