Federal prosecutors say Russia paid an American media company to push pro-Kremlin messages from social media influencers including Benny Johnson, Tim Pool and Dave Rubin.
Putin wanted to join NATO. The US rejected Russia as an ally, while adding other former Soviet republics to NATO. Russia was slow to realize America wasn’t merely content with the fall of Soviet communism, but also wanted cheap access to its natural resources. Russia has adjusted accordingly.
America would’ve won cold war 1 & 2 in one move by admitting Russia to NATO and pitting them against China, but it got greedy.
A good bit of shit in Chechnya already happened by that point, Russia showed itself as having not totally abandoned its old ways. Best case scenario Russia improves, worst case they do exactly what theyve done and fuck up NATO in the process. And given how Russia has been historically, well lets just say better to not take a stupid gamble.

Russia in NATO is a stretch, but okay, maybe.
Putin in NATO is absurd. I don’t know how you can even suggest that should have been entertained.
