      I don’t know how you got from countries and military alliances into genetic traits to attack other countries. Pretty big leap imo.

      I’ve heard some .ml people call NATO a virus but I didn’t think it was literal

        It’s pretty simple, I explained how and why Russia invaded Ukraine, and NATO’s role. You never responded to that, and instead said Russia invaded Ukraine because it can only “bully” non-NATO countries. There’s no materialism in your explanation, no underlying economic reasoning, just pure “Russia invaded Ukraine because Russians are evil” nonsense.

        You’ve also been vaguely suggesting that western imperialism is a good thing, so that chauvanism tracks. Russia in your eyes is a “bullying country” and NATO in your eyes is an “anti-bully alliance,” which holds no actual water.

          I was just saying that NATO countries haven’t been attacked by Russia whereas non-NATO countries have, so it might be that the membership has maybe something to do with it.

          I thought it was a simple point but you’ve since brought up genetics and good and evil into it, which honestly surprises me since I don’t know where you got any of that

            It has something to do with the calculus behind the final decision, but not why it happened in the first place. You’re free to reread my comments and JAQ off.

              I’m not sure what the math is behind it but if it works it works ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
