Reply to comment by Vader_Von_Vader in Ukraine war: Zelensky says situation in Bakhmut worsening by jacobhong

That's not how NATO works. It is a strictly defensive alliance, and Ukraine's not a member. I would love to see Russia stomped too but it won't be NATO unless Russia attacks a member state.

You are scared of replies that are negative about Russia. That is weak on your behalf.

I'm not arguing whether or not NATO should do something, I'm just saying that using "defensive only" as a reason is invalid
