It’s nothing like you seem to understand Paphitis, so don't waste your breath.
It’s all about
NATO encroachment that Russia has been warning the West about, for many years now.
In fact the West even guaranteed Russia that it wouldn’t happen, but foolish Clinton got the bad ball started.
Your brains are so flawd!
You think that NATO has no right to accept members from willing sovereign nations. NATO membership revolves around 2 factors. The willingness of the sovereign nation to join is the first one, and then, the second factor is the willingness of all current NATO members to accept them.
Ukraine had the willingness to join, but was unsuccessful because NATO members were not unanimous.
Secondly, NATO is not an offensive alliance. it's purely defensive. Russia knows that. There will never be a time when NATO will order any invasion or attack on Russia. You need to familiarise youyrself with NATO's articles.
Now of course, this war can only re-inforce the importance of NATO membership. Any country that does not want to join NATO is literally STUPID. So we have Sweden and Finland joining now. Ukraine should join as soon as this war is over, and join the EU. Cyprus should apply to join immediately. Moldova and Georgia as well.
