Not sure what you're smoking over there. You probably think that NATO is a defensive alliance against big bad Russia. NATO is the offensive marketing arm of the US/EU military industrial complex - a massively profitable business that not only requires a boogie-man, but it contrives to ensure that the boogie man reacts to constant threat.

Yes and you are one of the many propaganda accounts, which spread this lies. Democracy is inherently peoples-politics, while authoritarian is inherently the enemy of the people and makes them to slaves who are unfree.
There is no need to talk about EU, US Russia. It does not matter how the countries are named. But people loosing freedom is what matters. And Russian government is a big force in stealing freedoms from Ukrainians and most of all from its citizen.
In most EU countries and the USA, the governments are liberal and democratic. Means everyone can publish critical articles about every person in the world, without getting legal punishment. (threatening, herrassing, publishing private information about someone is not critique, it is only unacceptable behaviour and is objectively destinguishable from critique)
You seem to be largely in favor of suppressive governance and increase the space of suppressive governance. I am very clearly for ferated governance, in a way that everyone has their human rights granted. Independent from continent or country.
I can almost understand your sentiment around government. Switzerland puts on a good show of democracy on the surface of it all, and things mostly work there. But if you are brave enough to dig a little deeper, I think you may find that your little utopia is actually the belly of the beast.
That aside, the notion that such a thing as democracy actually exists in Europe or... anywhere actually, is quite laughable. The level of authoritarian regulation imposed on humans all around the world, has reached such a level that something has to crack very soon. No thinking human wants war. No thinking human wants to be taxed, or to live in a fiat world of perpetual slavery. People from all walks and cultures just want to be left alone to get on with life, but the so-called democratic governments simply won't allow it. On the contrary, they go to great lengths to contrive division so that you and I can be led to have arguments online, and to run off to the election polls to endorse their system of control over us, and their bombing of other people's homes.
As long as there are politicians, there will be division. They cannot exist without it. And as long as there are governments, there can be no democracy. Not in Russia, not in Europe, Switzerland, the USA or darkest Africa.
What is going on in Ukraine is largely theater at the expense of the entirely expendable Ukrainian and Russian people. Through it, the politicians and their allied military industrial complexes only get richer and more powerful, while innocent people are bombed and shot and burned. They dont care.
We should not fall for their tricks by arguing with one another. Humans the world over should unite to reject the scum whether in Moscow, Kiev, DC, Tel Aviv, Brussels or Bern.
This is why we Bitcoin.
You and me that is no we. You quiet directly showcase how you suck the nipple of the russian bear. You hail to russian officials. So do not count my as part of your group. I am for liberty and against oppression.
