The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It wasn't NATO expanding, it was countries asking to join the club: that's how a new member comes to be. All the existing members did is agree to the applications,

That's just a word game.
Playing a word game does not hide the fact of "NATO expanding eastward."

And it doesn't really matter what NATO thinks about it, what matters is what Russia thinks.

Actually, it's not "what NATO thinks", it is "what NATO pretends to think".

Everybody with more than a room temperature IQ knows that NATO was purposely moving toward Russia.

Looking at a map, can anybody explain how Turkey is North Atlantic?

As the great Fred Thompson said, "This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."
