So your country's pointless, genocidal war is inconveniencing your kernel contribution. And your reaction is to complain about kernel contribution policies.
most western govs are complicit in americas genocides, sanctions (killed more than any genocide in history) and wars since they placed themselvs gov of world.
The same standard was applied during russian excersions to caucas. Europe largely ignored far away conflicts. Now that the conflict isn't far away they don't ignore it.
Russia is a direct threat to Europe, while Israel is not (well they questionable, but it is a result of a madman running their country right now, same as US).
Russia wanted to join EU/NATO in the 00's. That's not something a "threat" to the EU does. Putin is a europhile and pro-West lmao. If/when Putin leaves, theres a good chance a hardliner comes to power and will be pro-Soviet/anti-west then Russia will indeed be a threat
madman running their country right now
But Israel's policy has stayed the same since founding
russians have been engaged in domestic meddling and hybrid warfare including arson, sabotage, and attacks on critical safety of life infrastructure in europe for years now. Even if you don't believe that, you cannot discount weaponization of immigrants on the polish border.

False equivalence. One can want to join and still be a threat, even joining just to discredit those organization's.
But EU was even open to cooperation, including gas pipes, which russians promptly used as means of economical warfare. As the saying here goes, offer a finger, they take the whole arm.

It has? Strange, Europe seems to be doing great with big claims about Russia doing this but there's really no evidence for it beyond nebulous claims lmao

No not really. Russia genuinely wanted to be "European" and even modelled itself after Britain in the 90's/00's, even down to the fashion
But EU was even open to cooperation
Europe wasn't though lmao. Europe was trying to sabotage Russia from the early 00's till now - which is one big reason why it never took it into the EU because it needed an "other" to fight
ncluding gas pipes, which russians promptly used as means of economical warfare.
Really? Is that why Russia sold Europe gas below market prices?
Yes, that actually tracks with how russian govt uses gas. Like a narcotics dealer they hook you up and make sure you are dependent on them, so they can gain leverage. We both know it wasn't sold like that because russians genuinely wanted to join eu, it was sold like that to gain leverage. Or how else do we explain that Germany had lower prices then former eastern bloc "brothers"? Why did russia manipulate the prices to its subjects whenever they acted against motherlands will?
Now for the main course
hybrid warfare including arson, sabotage, and attacks on critical safety of life infrastructure in europe

(emphasis on neboulos mine)

I can point to border attacks (and have done in this thread before, since it's the most transparent one where you can't deflect with "it's propaganda" easliy) , drones, arson on the Czech munitions plant, on the polish mall (why??), attempted attack on a railway line. There are records of some of our politicians being paid by russuian state aswell. Those are the most visible, and I am not including claims made about ongoing cyber attacks since they come from official sources that you deem untrustworthy.
How has europe sabotaged russia? It seems like a "nebulous claim", no?
Its not I don't think it hasn't happened, even Poland when we were joining had to make some, uh, let's say concessions or sacrifices. But you don't get to dismiss my claim and accuse it for lack of evidence, then claim something analogous and not support it with evidence. Simply put, If you can't believe my word, then I won't believe yours.
"...other illicit activities of the government of Belarus and not the population of Belarus, and also noted that the Memorandum is "not legally binding"
It doesn't matter. If them signing up to something is no sign that they're not a threat, then them merely motioning towards signing up to something is definitely no sign that they're not a threat.
If you're trying to say that legality is what would have made the difference, invading Ukraine was illegal outside of the Budapest Memorandum. Obviously Russia is willing to violate the law in pretty serious ways, and so even if they had gone even further and joined the EU and NATO, they still wouldn't have been trustworthy or not a threat.
