nato allies made clear we will not slam the door shut on nato's open door policy a policy that has always been central to the nato alliance as a defensive alliance solely nato is a defensive alliance nato exists to protect its member states nato has never expanded through force or coercion or subversion force coercion and subversion is exactly the method of operation for russia that's exactly how they got crimea were through those three factors and that's not the only place that they've done that yet russia acts as if someone is ready to invade their their mainland their motherland their their borders and nobody wants anything to do with russia yet russia is acting crazy right now in terms of uh in terms of paranoia and they post things like this ukraine is NUMBER_TOKEN you know russian by you know culture and heritage that's all fine if if ukraine is that much a part of russia maybe that they should get together and and collectively talk to you or talk to russia about joining and becoming you know you know joined with with russia that's that's a path open to them yet they're not taking it are they hmm i wonder why that is you know perhaps your numbers are a little incorrect sir you know take a look at that now let's get back to the piece here according to russia deputy foreign minister sergey uh rabbikov the russian military specialists have been providing president vladimir putin with options in case the ukraine's situation worsens however he would not confirm or deny rumors that moscow may deploy military assets to cuba and venezuela as a counterweight to nato's continued presence now the reason why that would be a little bit um not a fair comparison is cuba is not in any kind of alliance with russia and neither is venezuela in terms of defense they do have economic agreements and things like that but they're not part of any kind of defensive uh network between each other anyway so great piece written by thomas i encourage everyone to go over to the war zone right now and read that read the rest of this and just know that russia is acting completely within its character to be honest with you they've always been paranoid since the end of the cold war the NUMBER_TOKENs were a terrible time for them very embarrassing politically and culturally because they were getting themselves back up off the ground after you know the collapse of the soviet union and being broke and corruption was right in uh in the nineteen in the NUMBER_TOKENs uh to credit vladimir putin he put a stop to all that or a lot of that change the corruption from uh you know criminal organizations to political organizations uh yeah this is a little bit better i guess very similar to what we have here in the united states anyway anyway i look forward to your comments i know this is a highly politicized topic let yourself go man put it in the comments and i'll take a look at it and i'll respond to a lot of them thanks for watching everybody we'll see you next time bye
