The Russians sure aint the bad guys.
They have told the west for 30 years they DO NOT want another NATO aligned country on their border. They said NO and meant NO!
How would we respond if Russia put military and missiles into Mexico?
We all saw how it went during the Cuban crisis...brought to us by the CIA which resulted in the assassination of a POTUS who intended on breaking up the CIA.
This is another war brought to us by the CIA and the military industrial complex.
What did Ike say about them again?
>>How would we respond if Russia put military and missiles into Mexico?<<
You must not have lived during the Kennedy years and the Cuban missile crisis.
But...but...Russia invaded Ukraine!
We went to war over a telegram that merely suggested the possibility of the Mexicans joining the Germans in attacking us.
Say hi to NATO Finland!
How would we respond if Russia put military and missiles into Mexico?
Did the freely elected government of Mexico seek to join an alliance with Russia?
No they did not.
We have very good relations with Latin American countries.
It is too bad that so many of their people want to sneak in here to enjoy the "La Dolce Viva", but we need to have some border security like other countries. The situation is totally different here than Latin America. They don't fear us like the Eastern Europeans fear Russia. On the contrary, they want to join us, or at least come here and make out financially.
NATO membership is asked by the host country. It is not a bunch of countries in the thrall of the USA. Members join freely. Even so, all NATO countries have to agree. Up to right now, Turkey is saying no to Sweden membership, so Sweden is not part of NATO.
Why do the Russian get to decide who joins a defensive alliance?
But as I said, Finland's admission to NATO brings a thousand mile long NATO border to Russia.
