If you think that there have not been consequences on the US for meddling in the Middle East, you better take a closer look at the long list of Americans on the Veteran Affairs list struggling to make it back into civilian life. Even we in Canada have to work to treat our own veterans' mental health issues from the trauma of war and then resinserting them into civilian society. THAT is also a cost of war hitting us at home. Physical scars may not be there, but amputated souls are there and take far longer to heal.
Ever since you popped up in the other thread, you have shown to have zero undertsanding of the European context that explains why NATO became bigger since 1999. Tell me what the hell was that drunk Yeltsin even thinking by supporting Milosevic work and his genocidal when his predecessor Gorbachev was clever enough to abstain as Saddam was just becoming too much of a burden to support publicly in 1990-1991. And that is before we go on to discuss about Putin's warring methods from Chechnya up to now. Eastern European countries had plenty of reasons to join NATO because of the Yugoslavian wars and now have even more reasons to be more active into it because of the bald twat in the Kremlin. Once you taste freedom and the rule of law altogether, you don't want to let it go.
And for the 4,999,999th time, Ukraine is not a NATO member although they aspire to become one. Ukraine is more likely to become a member of the EU first and foremost, and that's the first big middle finger that the Kremlin deserves.
How small of a person you are. It's pathetic.
