Russia is now a threat to NATO!

[Taleweaver]

Russia certainly has its problems, but the most important ones are internal. I mean... Sure, i just banged on about the flaws in us elections, but Putin actually DID put his strongest adversary (Navalny) in jail. I can't really say to which degree the country is in uproar, but there's certainly large protests.

But a threat to the rest of the world? At this point, I'm not convinced. The fact that this thread is two pages long and no one even brought up the obvious makes me doubt it as well. But hey... Let's bring em in, shall we?

* The invasion/annexation of the krim: granted: i was very worried when this happened. It came seemingly out of nowhere, and Ukraine is probably still pissed that Russia'stole' part of their country. However, that's been two years ago and things seem to have quiet down (note: i might be mistaken). So maybe -repeat: MAYBE - there is some truth to Russia's claim that the majority of the population wanted to be part of Russia.
* The poisoning of former spy (Skipral) in the uk. This recently got a sort of sequel as a uk couple got somehow infected with the same poison. This is obviously a scandal. The unfortunate thing is, though, that with the brexit, the uk government is... How do i put it politely?... Filled with morons. Boris Johnson went all out against Russia before he had any proof, and that image kind of sticks. Basically: before proper investigation is complete, this argument is moot

Edit: as of posting this, Boris Johnson and some others quit their job because they couldn't have the brexit happen their way. Seeing how it is now handled by May - originally a bremainder, mind you - then you'll agree that i wasn't exaggerating by calling Johnson a moron

Probably, but the US definitely isn't interested in confronting Russia with our current leadership. For obvious reasons. We're more likely to go to war with Iran and let Russia do whatever the hell it wants.

or Venezuela? I'm afraid that our country is in mess and if invasion of Iran occurs so it wouldn't be same anymore.

That's how much of a threat Russia is to NATO.

or Venezuela?

Should just be invaded by Brazil, Guyana, and Columbia and split between the three. I doubt the people would even mind at this point(they'd probably welcome them as liberators, lol), if it meant they get food. Eventually they're no longer going to be able to afford their security, and a coup is going to occur.

Oh, and as for Russia. A country that can end life on earth within a few hours is a threat to more than just NATO.

Russia is no threat , look closer at NATO they are doing a dangerous game like the Roman did with Greece and Egypt ... they are the real problem they want absolute world control over every country that why the trade wars is happening and that not a good thing.
