Fear deprives people of intelligence. Or is it not fear, but intent?

WASHINGTON, February 21. /TASS/. NATO does not see Russia as a threat to any of its members, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview published by the Foreign Policy magazine on Tuesday.
"We don’t see any threat [from Russia] against any NATO ally and therefore, I’m always careful speculating too much about hypothetical situations," he said when asked what the alliance would do "if Russia did in the Baltics what it did in Ukraine."
"What I can say is that anything like what happened in Crimea and Ukraine would, of course, trigger a response from the whole alliance, because NATO is there to defend and protect all allies against any threat," he went on.
According to Stoltenberg, NATO "deployed battlegroups for the first time to this part of Europe."
"The purpose of our presence is not to provoke a conflict, but it is to prevent a conflict," he said.

"Fear" is a complex word. More complex than a concept than you have ever displayed the ability to comprehend. You are a walking, talking poster child for a dead society. By your own words on your "democratic elections" do YOU so say. Yet you constantly act like the proud Soviet citizen.

So tell me, Balu, are YOU not afraid? You have me on ignore. Afraid of my words? The fact I don't take any BS from you and shove your Cold War drama back down your throat? You fear honest discussion. All you want to do is boast. Overcompensation for your fear?

You are weak.
