sorry but YOU are a Russuan apologist. "Russia's demands seemed reasonable to me. "

Russia's demands are not at all reasonable. NATO has never attacked a single nation in it history since 1947 while Russia has attacked and conquered 11 different nations.

It is an impossibility for NATO to take an aggressive monetary stance against Russia since it requires all 33 Nations to approve of such an action.

The fact of Mr. Putin does not like NATO on his water is completely irrelevant. His thoughts and actions on them this are completely unreasonable. It speaks volumes that you actually think that Putins claims that the Ukrainians were controlled by Nazis is reasonable. And it speaks volumes that you think Putins view of NATO as a threat si rational. Its not.
