    When other countries voluntarily sign up to be part of a defensive alliance: expansionism.

    When I violently invade my neighbour and start brutally murdering their people: just protecting myself.

      They’re trying to make Russia great again. Newsweek is awkwardly good at reporting this type of shit. Russian propagandists are basically trying to justify Russian imperialism around the baltics while also setting up a plan to irradiate Siberia with a nuclear airburst in order to dissuade China from making the same type of land grab as Russia themselves did. They’re fucked and nobody deserves it more.
