You're right, NATO was not in Iraq/AFG. I used that term NATO interchangeably with US & Co because lets be honest. NATO is basically an extension of US Hegemony. So US Coalition/NATO same shit diff name.
The chance of Russia using their nukes in that scenario is almost 100%, which means MAD kicks in and we have thousands of nukes being lobbed by either side.
Where was MADD Reasoning when US/NATO was goading UKR into pressing Russia's Redlines? Guess what, Russia now has Nukes on ready. UKR is even more fcked from any semblance of saviour. Leaving room for MORE escalation.
Literally sent a sheep to a slaughterhouse. That's what US & Co does. Instigate wars.
You don't fck with a Nuclear Power. Period.
Reap what you sow.
Afghanistan was not an aggressive war and was a response to Taliban & al Qaeda attacks
Lmao. Ah yes lets legitimize a 20 year occupation.
Not Taliban. To find OBL (AlQ). Which then turned it drone striking weddings/hospitals/children, dropping MOAB in a 20 year occupation. Result = Taliban are still in control. Sure seemed like US & Co just came to test their new weapons.
Today, Those Afghans are paying with their Kidneys to feed their children to which their only alternative is selling their kids for survival. Because US & Co imposed the harshest sanctions and are salty about Taliban winning the war by successfully resisting an Occupation.
Somewhere in the midst of that US & Co. invaded & wrecked Iraq. For sh*t's & giggle. While committing war crimes (ex. Abu Gharib prison). Which resulted in a power vacuum birthing ISIS post Iraq.
Russia for all it's fault is not nearly as destructive. It gave a simple yet harsh warning, for years to EU/US. West ignored it, instead doubled down and this is the result. Ukraine's blood is on US/NATO's hands.
Peace
