What? Even if so, you punish them for not joining by threatening them and expanding military alliance on their borders?

This is pure Russian propaganda.
It does, it means Nato make false pretexts for war and can lie to their people and justify war. Why should Russia trust you won't do the same with Ukraine. What else was the purpose of the Coup you guys organized.
Right now your media is just propaganda, not presenting proper facts and analysis. Seeking to push your people to war.
While you can avoid war, try to hold your leaders and media accountable. Or else, when it's too late, it's too late.
It especially surprises me when I see leftists and liberal-leaning people dismissing the double standards when so much public discourse from the left in recent years has focused on raising awareness about ethnocentrism and prejudice against people of color.

Uh, Ukraine didn't invade Russia.
You need to 1) stop addressing people as if they were the same as their governments, and 2) stop addressing me as an American/European, since I've already said I'm an Arab.

Spam, wonderful spam (bloody vikings!)
The Soviet empire collapsed with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Subsequently some of the Eastern block countries decided to join NATO - and who can blame them after decades of brutal soviet oppression?
Putin is a megalomaniac bully-boy who is intent on restarting the Cold War, and re-conquering former soviet-bloc states.
Okay.
Exactly.
Let us not forget how peaceful and tranquil Libya and Syria were, before NATO destroyed them.
It really amazes me how doublestandardism has been normalized in the United States.
Btw.. the Americans are not the NATO.
They are victims of that Deep State.
Syria was mainly destroyed by the army of Assad, another murderous dictator whom Putin supports politically and militarily.
So why not just not join Nato and keep the peace? This is like a person walking up to a person and saying I will get my gang to hit you and your family - what you can do? Perhaps the person will do nothing, perhaps the person will choose to protect his family. Perhaps all bets was Putin had no courage?
Stopped ISIS you mean.
No, ISIS and other extremist groups are far from stopped. Military adventurism like what Putin and the U.S. have practiced facilitates the emergence of such militant groups.

So what if they want to join NATO?--they evidently needed to because LOOK! they got invaded by Russia.
Dude Obama trained forces to take out Assad on pretext they would be supported and fight hezbollah if they take over Syria. The sponsored forces mostly are what consists the army of ISIS.
And they almost defeated even Hezbollah till Russia intervened. Alhamdulilah.
No Shiite would be alive in Lebanon right now, and yes to the happiness of Israel, but all plans stopped by the hero Putin.
Before Obama the Mediterranean was at peace.
It's a big deal. A huge deal. The next step and motive for that is what?
The most evil president of US ever to exist but he get's away with it for being black.
The Putin apologetics has taken away from the focus of the OP.
Back to the OP: So far, only a few posts have acknowledged what's wrong with the extremely lopsided tone from the media concerning wars in the Middle East and Africa versus that in Ukraine. Do people here really see no big issue with that, or are some just choosing to stay silent for worry they could somehow be supporting Putin if they criticize the lopsided language and reporting?
I'm trying to get more perspective on this because I would find it quite concerning for people to voice support for the rights of minorities and people of color and then overlook something like this.
