the west is no threat to russia ....that is proved by the the soldiers they have taken from NATO borders to fight in Ukraine and the air defence systems stripped from Kalinigrad to use in occupied Ukraine If russia was the least bit concerned by NATO they wouldn't be doing these things . .....and this war has actually hindered russia strategically by causing Finland and Sweden to join NATO and by causing NATO to re-arm
just a pethetic excuse to extend their borders .....and you bought it !
but russia is a threat to many countries
that's why they choose to join NATO when russia stops trying to control it's neoighbours ....THEN it will gain freinds and allies in Europe .
