I saw my neighbor install a pullup bar, so I told him I intend to firmly defend my interests in his living room from the aggressive policies of people living next to me.
Preparing defensive measures as a direct result of Putin open calls to re-create USSR is now agressive? Peskov please stop drinking on the job...
- If only Putin did want to recreate the USSR. Sadly there is nothing socialist about the current Russian regime.
  Where has he said this btw?
- I thought it was mandatory..
- The most prolific invader in the world - NATO - putting weapons on the border with Russia, conducting economic warfare against Russia, and conducting terror attacks on Russian civilians is, in fact, aggressive.
  EDIT: Also, the assumption that Putin wants to recreate the USSR is silly, as is the assumption that that would be a bad thing if it was true.
  
  Just to counter your arguments a bit:
  NATO does not forcefully enter any country; countries have to apply to become a member.
  There were already many weapons on several of Russia's borders before NATO was there. NATO has only reinforced this (as part of the agreement signed with the country in question).
  "Economic warfare" (aka. economic sanctions) NATO has nothing to do with, that's on the country's government.
  Terror attacks on civilian targets? Please provide sources.
Agressive policies like attacking a sovereign nation you had a treaty with to never invade, but then invaded anyways? That kind of agressive?
