Kyiv has proposed to Moscow a new round of peace talks next week, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said on July 19, hours after Russian strikes across Ukraine claimed more lives.

@Saleh I’m trying to think of an instance when NATO was used as an excuse for an invasion from any side other than Russia’s invasion by Ukraine.
The US have reliably made up their own excuses for their transgressions. I can’t currently remember them using NATO as an excuse.
I honestly don’t see how NATO membership is a threat.
Can it be construed as one? Surely - as much as one can find “weapons of mass destruction” when squinting hard enough. But that is then again not related to NATO.

The US also called article 5 after 9/11 and the Afghanistan invasion was a “NATO and friends” mission. Also the Iraq invasion was done by various NATO members, even if it wasnt formally a NATO mission. However even countries not involved in the fightinf were provising logistics such as Germany.
@Saleh so your argument is:
Russia wanted other sovereign countries to do its bidding, but they didn’t comply.
Saying that’s NATO’s fault is the political equivalent for throwing your toys out the pram.
Saleh, you are disqualifying yourself from the discussion.
Other countries don’t have to comply with Russia’s wishes. And if they don’t, Russia still doesn’t get to invade them.
