reality really depends on the observer. without this nato "attack" half of the ussr satellites would be subjugated again. we couldn't care less about anyone motives. anything stopping or at least pushing out this horrible nation is a win. To quote Ludwig von Mises > People among whom the ideas of Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and Lenin are a living force cannot produce a lasting social organization. They must revert to a condition of complete barbarism. > Despotism, imperialism, and Bolshevism have made them the poorest.
