    Iraq was bad so let’s let Russia annex any bit of Europe it wants. Checks out. I was vehemently opposed to Iraq. This is not Iraq. Not all wars are the same

        No. I’m not assuming youre pro Russia. I think that you think that Russia is militarily impotent, given that you said as much.

There’s a demonstrable threat to which NATO is a demonstrable defense
