nato’s ultimate fantasy is a regime change in russia. following its stellar achievements, like shielding ukraine from massive destruction and fostering a liberal democracy in afghanistan, it can bring russia the same “benefits” ukraine has experienced since its own 2014 regime change. simply join the hate and fear crusade led by “snowden”, our nato ambassador, and russia will soon relive the glory days of the fabled 1990s!
