So far I feel more threatened by Saint NATO than Saint Russia.
Not if you are Ukrainian, that is. Russian speakers are a minority in Ukraine. I guess most Ukrainians are rather afraid of Russia at the moment and some hold the memories of Stalin's genocidal ambitions against Ukraine, the Crimean Tatars et al.

I am neutral, not in Nato, in Nato's partners for peace (same as Russia is), yet, Nato is threatening to attack a NATO Partner for Peace member! Russia has NOT threatened to attack a NATO member, or European Union member. NATO HAS.
No disrespect, but you are talking rubbish here. NATO has threatened to do nothing. NATO will not defend Ukraine as they are not a member. Russia has already demonstrated that they have no scruples in invading (in all but name) a part of Ukraine.
The calculation Russia, and Putin especially, has to make is how far can he push the West before they start to turn the economic screw. The economic front will be where Putin will pay for his misbehaviour and silliness. Like the Cold War, the West is capable of playing the long game.

NATO is playing the political dimension. NATO is not just a military alliance. The expansion of NATO is because many ex-Soviet nations just did not want to be part of the Russian sphere, having experienced the nastiness of it all. Membership of NATO - or the EU, for that matter - is not granted to the unwilling. The States who are prepared to be part of the Russian club are either too far away, or existing autocracies / dictatorships who would not pass question #1 of the NATO application form.

uhm I cannot recall, that NATO bombed Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Czechslovakia (now 2 Countries) and Slowenia into submission prior before them joining NATO... but okay, that could be just me
I have to admit, living in Europe in these days is just like standing in a bar, knowing that a barfight between 2 badass-bloaks is going to happen und hoping, that you don't get hit by the flying furniture

What do you recall about how Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia were approached by NATO offering membership? That's after German unification and agreement of absolutely no expansion Eastward.
Bombs are needed to beat into submission only when all other offers have been refused, like Yugoslavia has refused and was torn apart by NATO, which annexed and absorbed two artificially created states of Albania and Croatia.

yeah yeah right, that's how I remember this whole mess between Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia, too (I need a rolleyes smilie )
And I really don't think that Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria were bullied into NATO, sorry.
They joined 10 years after the german unification, which is a along time in global politics...

You have little to no no understanding of history do you? I suggest you take the time to learn about croats and serbs. Maybe than youll understand why yugoslavia divided had nothing to do with NATO.Maybe while your at it look into how the west created yugoslavia after world war 1 from independent states and thats what lead to the breakup. NATO by the way doesnt offer membership countries must apply. Than each member has to agree for example Cyprus and Macedonia want to be members however they are being blocked by Turkey and Greece.Currently Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Georgia has wanted to join NATO however the process is slow and i have doubts they will join. There is also other requirements i dont think thyll meet. You so no understanding of history and have fabricated a poorly stitched together reality you have created.
PS you might want to read this see poland had a difficult time joining NATO there admittance was hard because a country has to meet requirements to join. Than and only than are they made an offer than they have to decide. Poland worked very hard to become a NATO member and who can blame them after being under the Russian boot for so long.

When you save worlds worse killers from justice and give them a job at most secret government positions, don't be surprised when your country turns into a Nazi rat nest.
Dear ATS staff,
I have found very interesting videos on Youtube, that show the true background of the events in Kiev, Ukraine. Here are the links: Maidan as not seen in the news – I and II (www.youtube.com..., www.youtube.com...)
As only few people know the real truth about what really happened in Kiev, I ask you to post the video on your site.
With gratitude
Hello,
I would recommend these two videos: www.youtube.com... (Who became a bloody victim of EuroMaidan?) and www.youtube.com... (... and still no command)
These are the events which took place in Kiev, Ukraine. It shows who is real aggressor and who is victim – quite differently than we were shown by globalist mass media.
If possible, please publish them.
Thanks a lot

You mean like Stalin did? Stalin and Hitler were practically lovers.
