None of us have any idea what is happening in Russia because all of the news from Russia has been canceled and shutdown.

What I know is that our country should not be supporting the corrupt Ukrainian regime, nor should we have been allowing NATO to expand beyond its organizational purpose of responding to the threat of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact.

NATO should have been disbanded in 1991 with the fall of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the communist party in the Warsaw Pact nations.

NATO should have been disbanded in 1991 with the fall of the Soviet Union

trouble is, the "Soviet Union" may have been legally disbanded in 1991, but the malicious mentality of those in power didn't change ... Russia is the re-incarnation of the old Soviet Union

same police state, same oppression, same support of terror, same threats to its neighbors ... IOW, the menace didn't go away, so THAT'S why we *still* need NATO
