# It's an entirely inaccurate assessment.
I don't understand people who are both anti-war and anti-NATO. It's a defensive pact. It does not do aggressive expansion. It doesn't exist to defend non-members, yet it's done a hell of a lot to support Ukraine while walking a tricky legal tightrope, and doing everything it can to avert nuclear war, for fucks sake.

# NATO was created by the Pentagon, for what that's worth.

# I don't think that statement means anything.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was created by a building in a NATO country? K.

maybe not NATO as such, but I'm sure USA has invaded a few countries since 1949

# This is true.
But it would make for a far more complicated infographic.

There are a load of other Soviet/Russian military ...operations that aren't listed because they were not invasions per se.

understand

I wonder if russia realises that NATO is a defensive org thats not against them?

or have we been fed bullshit and NATO is really against them?

or NATO believes russian PR and thinks NATO is really after them

may be I should stop watching rick and morty (btw the latest season is great!!)

# Something missing?
What about Afghanistan, Libya, Serbia?

Not that I think that gives Putin any reason to bomb the crap out of civilians in Ukraine, just saying maybe NATO isn't 100% defensive.

# The image challenge is Putin
I was portraying how I think Putin sees the situation
