It's not contradictory but thanks for repeating my sentence with different wording.
Sovereign countries can choose their alliances freely. Of course it's Russian paranoia to be fearful of the NATO expansion. NATO would not start WW3 by invading Russia. And NATO expansion is the direct consequence of Russian imperialism. Russia's neighbors are afraid of Russia which has proven time and time again that it can and will use military force to subjugate it's neighbors. We've seen it under the reign of the Tsar. We've seen it during soviet times and we've seen it in modern Russia with Chechenia, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine... You have to be willingly blind to overlook all these cases of military aggression out of paranoia and megalomania. Do you think the largest country on earth was created by peaceful negotiations and hugs? It's absolutely ridiculous.
Your "ample evidence" is fabricated by the spin doctors in Moscow. Congratulations for drinking up that propaganda so willingly.
Absolutely is, using your galaxy brain logic every country occupied by US and hosting US bases owns them too right?
It's true, unfortunately for the countries that fall under US control, their sovereignty goes out of the window. And in extreme cases such as Ukraine, US even overthrows their governments to put in compliant puppet regimes.
NATO has a demonstrated record of invading countries and has an openly hostile stance towards Russia. The fact that you keep calling this paranoia continues to expose your intellectual dishonesty.
See, there you go ignoring reality of NATO again because it doesn't fit into your propaganda narrative.
One problem with this narrative of yours is that the problem only seems to occur in countries that have been politically captured by US. All of Russia's eastern neighbours seem to be getting along with Russia just fine.
You have to be either a liar or an ignoramus to frame these cases the way you did.
Ah yes, spin doctors in Moscow such as Jens Stoltenberg and Loyd Austin. 🤡
There's very little point continuing this discussion since all you're capable of doing is regurgitating the script you've memorized.
Bye.
