What does NATO's intervention in Libya have to do with countries bordering Russia wanting to join NATO?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

NATO intervention in Libya was not defensive, which means NATO is a security threat. Surely you see that?

And what are you saying in relation to countries bordering Russia wanting to join NATO? Like what point are you making here?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That NATO is not purely defensive and NATO encirclement of Russia is a security risk to Russia? That seems very obvious.

And Russia is a security risk to its neighbors. It's the reason why their neighbors want to join.
