    How does that work when NATO, by its own charter, can’t/won’t do anytning unless attacked or under threat of imminent attack? To avoid confrontation with NATO is quite simple.

    @lusterko Funny how Putin tries hard to make his war look more heroic than it really is by telling the Russians “look, we’re fighting against all of them at once”. Putin’s obsession with international rank shall not be overlooked.

    Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: “In fact, relations have now slipped to the level of direct confrontation.”

    Uh huh. Well, I imagine that Zelenskyy will be glad to hear that, since it’ll probably simplify his situation quite a bit. You can go ahead and start lobbing missiles at NATO then.
