That NATO map is perplexing. If it's trying to show Russia vs NATO, why doesn't it show Russian allies as well? Also, it's worth pointing out that it can also be interpreted as countries being afraid of Russia? After all, NATO has not actually started a war with Russia post-Soviet Union, but Russia has invaded both Georgia and Ukraine.
Nato has started (or been involved in establishing US dominance in) 5 wars just in the past 30 years: attacking / overthrowing Iraq (twice), overthrowing Yugoslavia, overthrowing Libya, overthrowing Afghanistan, attacking Syria.
And where in that list is Russia?
should Russians politely wait for the end of the world?
