Yes, yes it has. And it's directly because Russia engaging in exactly the type of expansionist wars NATO was set up to stop.
Russia never left the cold war mindset. Putin thinks, acts, and leads like is sociopath KGB agent.
Russia is still running the exact same playbook that they were running in the cold war. Invading countries that try to leave Russia's sphere of influence, sending unmarked soldiers over the border to disarm your neighbors, and lying to your citizens about it the whole time. Russia went right back to the cold war as soon as Putin rose to power as Russia's dictator.
Says the country that is at war with a democracy, one that sought EU and NATO membership. But was denied into NATO to appease Russia!!!
Shut up Russia, you are despicable. Hopefully you will recede into irrelevancy after losing to Ukraine. And hopefully get dissolved into multiple countries.
I mean… it did so because Russia became a real and persistent threat again.
You can see the gaslighting a mile away. Fuck off, Russia.
That's just a burning refinery.
We'll stop treating you like monsters when you stop acting like monsters.
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
I wonder whose to blame there
Russia has never stopped attacking the US, and never will.
Russia would know, they never gave up that mindset. They're just mad NATO is back to playing their game instead of assuming the game stopped years ago.

More likely a hot war I reckon

A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
