[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I don't really believe anything Putin says, I believe what he does... So when we get to Putin, I think his argument that NATO is being too aggressive has merit... I think you're picking when to listen to Putin to support your preconceived notion that NATO started it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago I'm looking at the history between Russia/USSR and USA/NATO and trying to see things from their perspective. I'm not saying their perspective is correct (NATO is only obligated to actual, legal contracts), just explaining how Russians see things to understand why they think they were justified in instigating a conflict. Once you understand why your enemy is doing certain things, you can more carefully craft a peace deal that's mutually beneficial. permalink fedilink source parent
