So those concerned with logical causal arguments cannot explain current Russia-NATO tensions today on "NATO expansion" from the past without accounting for the this cooperative speech (which is proxy for many other areas of cooperation at the same time) in between. 16/ — PolitiTweet.org

Obviously, other factors (other independent variables) beyond "NATO expansion" must be added to the analysis to explain how we went from Russia-NATO cooperation in 2010 to our current confrontational moment in 2021. 18/ END THREAD — PolitiTweet.org
