> Norwegian chief of defense claims Putin ‘knows very well’ NATO is not a threat to Russia <

I have posted on FR many times that I consider Putin to be a war criminal. I stand by that opinion.

I have also posted that NATO is no threat to Russia, as NATO is purely a defensive organization. Another Freeper then pointed out that NATO went on the offensive in Libya and in Serbia. I was wrong.

So Putin does have reason to see NATO as a threat.

Well if he sees it as a threat then why did he cut his border forces facing NATO down to 20% of their previous strength?
