Map Of NATO in 2014
But every single return on google images is from the Kremlin I assume.
Idk the reason I bring this up is beacuse I feel it speaks to how fundamental the gap between most redditors and the real world. You and I might be able to have a arugment and even disagreement about if its right for NATO to have done this but the fact the way the wish to FRAME the whole conversation as,
"This objectively true statement is propaganda and why are we not working harder to silence it?" is just the peak of faux intelligence.
the best comparison I could try to make is if Im in a argument with a teepee Indian about America stealing their land or not and my argument is "manifest destiny is fake news and America never expanded past its original 13 colonies and any suggestion counter to that is state propaganda from the Kremlin, the local secret police are already on their way buddy, try not to spread dangerous subversive thoughts next time"
