But looking at it from a commonsensical point of view, not taking sides, it looks like Russia is being preemptive.
We are looking at a large land mass that is "bordered by 14 countries, Azerbaijan, Belarus, China, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Kazakhstan, North Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Mongolia, Norway, Poland, and Ukraine. It also shares maritime borders with Japan, Sweden, Turkey, and the United States."
The majority of those countries are potential enemies. It looks like NATO is moving to expand into those territories, placing Russia in a pretty precarious position.
I can see them thinking the time to stop the barbarians at the gate, is to stop the Trojan horse from crossing over the border.
Just a thought.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
