In reply to the discussion: Protesters march against Nato summit [View all]7962
(11,841 posts)50. Because most posting are supporting Russian statements, not just opposing war.
NATO has BEEN on a small part of the Russian border for years and it hasnt caused problems. Ukraine has not been offered membership in NATO. Most of Ukraines population is not supportive of NATO membership. This has nothing to do with NATO and everything to do with Putin wanting to reform the Soviet Union in some new fashion.
Most posts come from the same group that quotes RT and Russian officials as though they would be accurate sources. I would say anyone who quotes RT should no longer have any problems with anything coming from Fox News over here.
I have not seen any of your posts before now, so I wont accuse you of being one of them.
