Remind me again why Russia is our enemy., page-122

He's responding at the level of NATO, and obviously has the backing of the German government. Nations can announce sanctions and corporates must comply, you can't have corporates just decide to do as they please.

The European nations were always grateful for US might back when another Russian dictator named Joseph Stalin was dominated great swathes of the continent. If they want to dissolve the NATO alliance now they should do so.

People like you see a US plot behind every tree. If Russia invades Ukraine you somehow twist yourself into knots trying to put the blame on the US. To arrogantly state that a sovereign nation can't join an alliance and Putin won't stand for it...what a load of nonsense. Ukraine is a sovereign nation which has now been invaded without any justification. No-one in Europe except the fellow dictator in Belarus is buying the justification that Putin had to attack because Putin was scared that he was going to be attacked.
