So pro democracy movements where people demand change are ok to be crushed by outside forces? You're always saying people should rise up, get out in the streets and protest. Apparently that's not ok with you if it's protesting a communist government that has everyone poor and miserable. Are you familiar with the name "The Iron Curtain?" Russia and its communist puppet governments in Eastern Europe completely controlled their citizens' lives. Didn't like it and wanted to leave? People had to escape over walls and through razor wire. Shot if seen attempting to escape. But you say they have no right to be fearful today and make alliances to protect themselves. That Russia still has the right to dictate what they can and can't do. It's the actions of Russia over the last 100 years that has led to the rise of the military/industrial complex in the U.S. Yeah, those companies are doing well supplying countries with the means to protect themselves. It's because of people like you who want to control everyone else and are willing to kill to keep that control.
the alliance is endangering them. we are on the brink of nuclear war. and its a hostile military alliance, not one for defense.
no im saying thats what govts do they crush rebellions by force quite often.
not sure what lead to the rise of military industrial complex...probably mixing profits with war has something to do with it LOL
US dictates what other countries can and cant do as well. not sure what kind of power russia has over the world, probably not much relative to china, and US. its not a very strong economy.
yes i know ppl who escaped east EU. ill remind you we dont have free movement of workers the way EU countries do, so we are in a sense trapped as well although not as extreme.
