    You can’t seriously compare Russia and NATO by military power. They are competent to keep small regions under control, but they don’t have even a small portion of the world wide power that NATO has.

      I did not and was not comparing the power of NATO to Russia.

      You said “[PUTIN] can’t even win a war in a small country right next to his.”

      I pointed out that this was false, as evidenced by the number of small countries next to his that he’s already annexed or invaded. Even Ukraine hasn’t been able to repel Russia even with western aid.

      Please stop trying to move the goalposts.
