This is more apt than the russian version of this meme because Israel literally builds wall bubbles like this in the west bank

I mean before the invasion Russia was building walls and moving them forward overnight to slowly take territory. It's not entirely off base about Russia.

I wonder who made all those countries want to join a defensive pact. Almost like there was a threat.

Nato is a group of independant, mostly democratic states. Nato generally doesn't kill people, because it doesn't attack, does not do genocide and most relevant for the meme, it doesn't redraw state lines.

If Nato would do several of those things, you might have a point, please prove me wrong.

Also the second pic is ridiculous. What even do the Nato-emblems mean? It cant be singular bases or single memberstates. So what is it? And what about russias allies, why arent they painted/highlited? If one would want to show the big allies, the BRICS+ states could be marked. But like this, the second image is worthless.

NATO killed thousands of people, redrew state lines, and overthrew several governments, in yugoslavia, libya, afghanistan, and north africa.

It's main enemies (and those of it's member countries) are the anti-colonialist movement:

Worse than the settlements are the fenced roads going to the settlements.

They build a settlement 20 miles from you but the road crosses your land? Well now you've got to travel 40 miles to get to the other side of your field 100 yards away.

What's that? They built another settlement on the other side of your land, and then built a road between the 2 settlements? Now you're surrounded by roads with fences you can't cross.

Yup, a 2 min walk becomes a 30 min commute.
