My point is very fucking simple -- Europe and Russia have been at war on and off for 600 years.
Fuck your sound byte bullshit.
In recent history;
WW2
East Germany
Hungary
Czechoslovakia
Poland (almost)
Crimea (?)
Ukraine (?)
If Russia had not annexed Crimea NATO would not be
marching around saber rattling. So, the Russians feel compelled to saber rattle too

That is most likely why there are sound byte accusations coming from Western Media and Russian media -- don't get your panties in a reactionary bunch. I grew up hiding in school basements from the Soviet nuclear attack that never came. The UK and France have nuclear weapons as well as the Russians do -- it's a stalemate. WTF is the difference how many times you can incinerate the enemy?
