“Although the idea of an attack by Russia by NATO forces may seem far-fetched to most Americans, Russians have reason to fear an invasion from the west. Over the past few centuries, Russia has been attacked by Poland, Sweden, France and Germany, ”writes Suchiu.
He emphasizes that the United States also "partially participated in what could be considered an" invasion "when" military personnel were sent to Russia during the Civil War of 1918. "
In addition, the journalist notes that after the end of the Cold War, Russia became "more vulnerable" due to the fact that some countries that previously supported the communist regime joined NATO.
