    I'm not interested in your rabbit hole. You'll find what you want to find. I can't tell you how the Putin/Russians feel but I can say that rational thought doesn't seem to be the basis. We've had missiles pointed their way for decades along with a telling lack of invasion... to me anyway.

    Russia's had missile pointed at us and all of Europe for decades as well. without invasion. That means they are peaceful right?
    They never spread one inch to reclaimed any warsaw pack nations as they watched NATO expanded by 3, 5, 7, 10, 13+ nations closer & closer. Almost like NATO are trying to gently swallow them up too. These New NATO countries now have less trade, communications & access with/to Russia. And 13+ NEW sets of U.S. E.U missile EVEN CLOSER than before pointed their way.
    Why should they be worried? No one in history has ever invaded Russia before... right? & NATO will always be run by kind & friendly people.
    The U.S. has only preemptively struck nations that are bad. or bombed, drone struck bad nations even without a declaration of war. Or used surrogates to attack other nations.... bad nations. And no one in the US ever thinks that Russia is bad, do they?
    So it's completely irrational for Russia to have any concerns.

    China has never in 1000+ years invaded Europe, or the U.S. or any of North or South America... ever. That's a telling lack of invasion for ya, right?
    Why should we be afraid they will one day? it's COMPLETELY irrational isn't it?

    I don't understand how some can't comprehend some Russian's POV.
    Try walking in others moccasins for a minute.
    They have a right to be just as paranoid as some people in the U.S. are. Thinking that someone is going to dominate or destroy them... if they don't DO something.
