Did you ever ask yourself why Russia’s neighbors want to join NATO and the US’s neighbors don’t want to ally with Russia?
Maybe use your exceptional reasoning abilities and tell us that one. Lol.
Poland joined NATO in 1999, at the time there was no threat from Russia
Hungary joined NATO in 1999, at the time there was no threat from Russia
Bulgaria joined NATO in 2004, at the time there was no threat from Russia
Estonia joined NATO in 2004, at the time there was no threat from Russia
Latvia joined NATO in 2004, at the time there was no threat from Russia
Lithuania joined NATO in 2004, at the time there was no threat from Russia
Romania joined NATO in 2004, at the time there was no threat from Russia
Slovakia joined NATO in 2004, at the time there was no threat from Russia
They sure had reasons to join NATO because of the past, but the situation in 1999/2004 was way different than today.
As I have said before, Russia will never allow Ukraine to join NATO, either we like it or not that is a fact.
And as Ihave said before , that is not legitimize by my part the invasion of Ukraine today, im just pointing out the facts.
