Putin was trying to make the point that NATO is fundamentally existentially anti-Russia. He knew Russia couldn't join, but by asking to join the point was made clear.

Up to 2001, the US and Russia were on good terms. After GW dropped the ABM treaty and then started NATO expansion, things went south. Russia had to respond and developed hypersonic missiles that could change direction. And by 2009 it was back to a cold war. By 2014 there was war in Eastern Ukraine with CIA involvement and the US did their coup.

If GW didn't try to do his father's Star Wars missile defense crap, none of this history would have happened and we would be having the Olympics or World Fair in Moscow.

If you don’t have an enemy you can’t frighten the plebs. If you don’t fight a war, you can’t control your industry and if you win the war, you stop the machinery your wealth depends on.

I think Julian Assange has been held in prison because of exposing the truth of that statement.

Forever wars. The next one will be an "extraterrestrial" threat, which normies will believe are actual space aliens, but it'll just be repeated false-flags in order to perpetuate the Military Industrial Complex.

That might be a stretch to pull off, but if you succeed, think of all the filthy fiat you could HODL

Haha I was halfway joking. Although, there is a running conspiracy around it (see: Project Bluebeam). Also, what wasn't conspiracy theory was Operation Northwoods, where the US gov was going to stage a false-flag in order to drum up public support for invading Cuba.
