    I’m in no way supporting Russia or Republicans when I say this but NATO since its inception has been used for Western imperialist goals and establishing US global hegemony, so in no way do I support its existence anymore

      You are in every way supporting both Russia and the Republicans saying that. If It wasn’t for nato, the Baltic states and maybe even some central European countries wouldn’t exist by now.

        Edit: Crazy this opinion is downvoted

          You don’t have to support nato if you don’t want to… just don’t say you are not supporting Russia. Nato has one purpose and it’s to stop the Soviet union / Russia from taking over Europe.

            NATOs other purpose is to stop socialism/communism from existing and emerging anywhere, unjustifiably. The Soviet Union wasn’t going to take over Europe, that was a lie created by the US and others. The US was the aggressor during the Cold war working overtime to sabotage any socialist nation because of “freedoms” and “democracy.”

            Russia has been a capitalist country since the fall of the USSR (goal accomplished I guess) but the West has still wanted to destroy them even before the Ukraine conflict. Yes what Russia is doing is wrong and they need to be stopped, but also the US, EU, and NATO.

                  I doubt that you think much at all. Just take the rubles, and peddle the crap from the white board in the data centre in St Petersburg…

                    Putin has and still is committing cruel, evil, disgusting atrocities against humanity why would I support that. Listen to yourself you sound silly. Its possible to be against the West while also being against Putin, you just have to evolve your thinking.

                  They also had to drink water when they were thirsty. Both of which are irrelevant to decades of brutal occupation.
