Why the rise in democrats tho?

Yes the whole point of a DEFENSIVE alliance is to defend against a known aggressor, thank you for clarifying

Russia had already invaded in 2014, and successfully got a puppet as president in 2010.

NATO doesn’t expand by conquest, countries choose freely to join and other countries (especially hostile ones) don’t get to dictate the alliances of their neighbours.

They didn’t freely choose to enlist but if you put a gun in my hand and tell me kill that innocent person I will rather shoot the person giving me the order

I bought ARK, I played many hours, and the day they launched a paid DLC to an Early Access game was the day I uninstalled it forever
