NATO's intervention in Libya? Things haven't been great for them, if you haven't noticed.

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

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 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?

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.
