This approach to #peacemaking is as helpful as pouring vodka on a raging fire. #Expansionist #wars end only in one of two ways: the #aggressor is defeated, as #Hitler reminded us in 1945, or the cost of continuing outweighs the gains, as Russia learned in #Afghanistan in 1989. There is no third way.

In Netflix's House of Dynamite, a ballistic missile hurtles toward the United States, the nightmare scenario that keeps defense planners awake at night. Yet the West's Russia policies, over the past decade, have done more to increase the odds of such a catastrophe than prevent it. Washington's unwitting effort to teach Moscow that nuclear threats work and aggression pays has culminated in a 28-point dictator’s wishlist, bizarrely presented as a "peace plan." The United States, the world’s most

This is why #ethnonationalism is a synonym for #Fascism, and why these ideas inevitably lead to conflict, tragedy, and eventually, atrocity.
And it is easily demonstrated that all #authoritarian states are #expansionist and will seek to increase the territory they control by force.
They are never content to live in #peace with their neighbors, even if they could somehow achieve their ideal of genetic, ethnic, racial, and ideological purity and expel, or at least control, all "aliens". #USpol
Little #PSA to combat #misinformation, because apparently half of #US #Citizens don't know this: #NATO is a #Military #Defense #Alliance between the #USA and #Canada and most of #Europe. The main rule for joining is that the country must be a stable #Democracy with protections on human rights. The main terms of the treaty are that, if one country is attacked unprovoked, on their own soil, the others must send immediate military assistance, and counties must keep up a minimum military to be able to both defend themselves and come to the defense of others.
NATO is not a #trade agreement, though it does facilitate trade agreements to encourage peace.
NATO is not an #expansionist force. NATO is a pro-democracy force.
NATO is not anti-Russia, as #Russia was invited to join in the 90s. #Putin is anti-NATO because it's effectiveness limits his power.
NATO has only been called into one war: the US invasion of Afghanistan, with the triggering event being 9/11, when the US was attacked directly.
Ukraine’s victory can avert #NATO-Russia clash - #Estonian defense minister
Sharing border with #Russia, the #Baltic country of 1.3mil fears if #Ukraine falls, Tallinn might be next target of Moscow’s #expansionist actions
Occupied by Moscow for half a century, #Estonia understands need to invest more in their defense & support Kyiv
After all, helping Ukraine win the war is how to avoid clash between NATO & Russia
Estonia has emerged as a staunch advocate for Ukraine in its fight against Russia, pushing its NATO allies to step up military aid and make long-term commitments to Kyiv’s defense. Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur has been at the forefront of this effort, urging Kyiv's partners not merely to help Ukraine fight on, but also to achieve victory. Sharing a border with Russia, the Baltic country of 1.3 million fears that if Ukraine falls, Tallinn might become the next target of Moscow's expan

Antifa, but totally don't care about the violence their own nation is inflicting upon other nations, including via #expansionist foreign policy
Antifa but say a peep about persecuted journalist, Assange.
Antifa, but totally doesn't understand how important #generalComputing and #proofOfWork is to stop oligarchy.
Antifa, but totally is fine with the technoFascist CAGEMAFIA being in bed with govt.

We agree and have been relentless on economic and env issues but to a point. The west has an #expansionist #warEconomy that has funded the *worst* of them. Many times it will be impossible to tell who is a sweet talking murderous drone operator or #bankster and who isn't.
The last two decades has brought this into sharp focus. Journalists are often murdered, imprisoned etc and compliant #corporateState muppets put in.
