That's why nations like Russia, China, and India are moving closer to forming an alliance. They're gonna try to counter NATO's dominance. Anyone who's paying attention, realizes that it's NATO nations that are the aggressors these days. Russia and others feel NATO aggression needs to be checked.
Yes, indeed,
While those countries can be attack NOTHING prevents those countries from creating a stateless entity like AQ or ISIS and thereafter financing and arming the same.

It's clear NATO is an aggressor now. It isn't about 'defense.' NATO nations have surrounded Russia with missiles on its borders. How is Russia supposed to react to that? Of course it's nervous. I hope Trump cools things down. Because it's clear the West has moved the world closer to WWIII. Very dangerous times.
The post 1945 aggressiveness of USSR and then Russia has been properly addressed. Russia and Putin, stay behind your borders, behave, you will be fine. Poland, Belarus, the Baltic, and Ukraine are not yours. Period.
The reality is that Putin has been far better contained the last few years. If Trump continues that, the world be a better place.
