*Some* of NATO enforced a UN resolution. NATO as an alliance did nothing of the sort. Where was Germany, Poland, the Baltics, Greece, or Turkey?
Sitting quietly in their corner, watching America, France and Britain create a literal slave state and spread armed Islamic jihadists all over the place.
Did they sanction the aggressors? Of course not. Doesn't matter that the destruction of Libya by NATO was much worse than what's happening in Ukraine, that the people who did it have done similar things all over the world.
So where was Germany? Exactly.

Was 1991 devastating for Russia? Absolutely. The rest of the decade was too. Do I feel bad for them? Nope.
It's not about you feeling bad for Russians, it's about your inability to see that experiencing that collapse is a driving factor in Russian sentiment towards an organization that wants to do 1991 to Russia all over again. That's the step you cannot take because you have already decided that you will never admit to Russia having any valid security concerns. No matter what NATO does, no matter how many times Western leaders talk about how they must inflict pain on Russian civilians or balkanize Russia along ethnic lines, you won't cross that line.
But whatever, you're reporting my posts for vulgarity now, lol. Done talking to you, be back for my 1000fg later.
