20 million dead in ww2 tends to have an effect of the psyche and the history books. Nobody is giving a pass on it.
but its pretty silly to just sit there and judge the action without having an idea of context. It would be the same as outright condemning a dog for biting his master after the master has beaten him for 12 years.
I can understand how Russia see's Nato as a threat to both itself and its naval base.
NATO has done a lot of pressing against Russia.
Do I think that Russia handled this wrong, absolutely its heavy handed and destabilizing, but Russia has a history of heavy handed handling of situations.
