USA has been there, done that.... with the Cuban Missile Crisis.....But NATO has troops on Russian border? Does not Putin have an obligation to fight for his nation...his people?
The map that shows how many Nato troops are deployed along Russia’s border
So, no nation should have troops in the nations around it?
The United States literally has battleships floating in the Black Sea as we speak. It's aggressive posturing and you're a fool if you're going to try to argue that point.
That wasn't my point at all.
My point was that the OP made a comment about having "troops on Russia's border", which means any country that neighbor's Russia. How close, exactly, is the US to any physical border of Russia's?
The Black Sea has one entry point, which is through a NATO COUNTRY. Which the US belongs to.
Parts of the Black Sea belong to Turkey, the Ukraine and other countries.
So, if Russia has a problem with the US having troops in countries neighboring Russia, do they have problems with troops of other countries in neighboring countries?
Russia has troops in the Ukraine, which borders four NATO countries, plus Syria which neighbor's one NATO country.
Same shit.
I am a plain speaking no bullshit kind of person. Our military is in the Baltic and Black Seas to be a show of force to Russia. They find that annoying. I understand their position. If Russia had shit in oh, say, Cuba, or maybe Mexico in an attempt to intimidate us we'd probably be pretty sore about it. We'd possibly even start a war over it.
