What? What don't you understand in that sentence? Are you saying there is no genocide in Israel? Or that Biden is not supporting it? Because both are easily provable.

I made a very obvious counterpoint that citizens of the US are not to blame for their presidents actions, just like the citizens of Russia. You can't have it both ways.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO#Military_operations All of NATO wars were in non-NATO countries, all where offensive invasitions. They fight in MIddle East for oil companies. I do not sympathize with Russian government, they are just as bad when given the chance. But NATO is scarier. Calling people to support Russia when they critisize your government is insane.

So are US people to blame for Biden supporting genocide in Israel? Or have they just voted for what they saw as lesser evil. You have to understand that Navalny, has started as a real neo-nazzi. Talking about killing all the muslims in the area. It is the same thing in every country. There are no real democracies in the World, people have to vote for the lesser of evils, or at least that is what they see as the only option.

But they also influence NATO organizations through various requirements of joining the NATO so that in the practice, they are involved. NATO as an organization has participated in mmultiple invasitions around the World, it is on the Wikipedia page. All of their military involvements where in non-NATO countries. Nobody ever attacked a NATO country, they never did a defensive war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO#Military_operations

They are not independent, that is the point. NATO military is still present in most of them or have puppet governments or are still at war.

How is Russia one of the main reasons that Middle East is unstable? Middle Eastern borders where drawn by the NATO mamber states, all terrorist organizastions are now publicly said to be first funded by the CIA. Every war that started in the Middle East was by US invasion and funded coups. Russia is bad and it got involved in some of the confilicts, but lets not be blinded by the hatered towards them so much to forget all the crimes in the Middle East done by our governments and pretend it is Russias fault for everything.

What did I say wrong?

Can you elaborate?

I am afraid that this fear of Russia is blown a bit over-proportion and is used by the US to gain even more dominance of the World military power. Russia was not really successful in it's invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine is a lot smaller and closer to Russia then Sweden. Not to mention the geographiclly harder to conquer. At this pace I dont see that Russia can invade Sweden in the next century or more. While joining NATO right now will indirectly mean that Sweden increases it's military and particapates in NATO involvement in the middle east. It is a bit scary how centralized the power balance of the world has become. US is now involved with almost all wars in the World and is invading coutries like Iraq, Syria, Libya without any justification and no repricussions, just for oil. I am more scared of the US and I think that is reasonable.

In is defensive only on paper. In reality it is NATO weapons that supply wars in Middle East. Joining NATO isn't just mutual defense, you need to sign a lot of other requirements that inevitably gets you under strong influance of US military and finances. Check out military intervantions of NATO, they are all offensive, no one ever attacked a NATO country, they are too strong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO#Military_operations None of these counties they invaded where part of NATO, Iraq, Afganistan, Kosovo, Bosina, Libya.

Laws don't matter when you have the military power. Laws only apply to the weak. Powerful countires (and people) don't protect them selves with laws, since they have the military. When Assange and Manning published US war crimes, militry officials didnt go to jails, but they, whistlblowers and journalists did. Don't fall for the laws for a second, they don't apply to them.

Most of the casulties are russian troops, are they not? They don't join volonterily you know, they are forcefully conscripted.

Only on paper. In practice there are many financial and military infulence that US gets when a country joins NATO that result in joining wars in Middle East.
