To those still debating, it is the absence of NATO expansion to Ukraine that created the permissive conditions for Putin's invasion. Think of the counterfactual. What if Ukraine had joined NATO in the last big bang announced in 2002? THREAD 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

I honestly cant believe that people are still blaming the Biden and NATO for Putin's grotesque, senseless, unprovoked war against Ukraine. I cant waste time responding to that debate now. But here's our take: What Putin Fears Most https://t.co/YHXPvoL2Xc via @JoDemocracy — PolitiTweet.org

Back then, Russia was not a full-blown dictatorship. Putin had some constraints on his power. Putin also was VERY cooperative with Bush in fighting GWOT. And the Russian military was weak. After 2 decades in NATO, Ukraine would have been MUCH riskier to attack today. 2/ END — PolitiTweet.org
