Most Americans are ignorant of world events - I doubt they know of the expansion of NATO to Russia's doorstep. Also a typical American attitude that I sadly find. What would America say if a military alliance expanded to include Mexico?
Please! Do it if it means that all the Mexican illegals go to Russia.:)
I see your point though, that most of us don't realize why Russia doesn't like NATO creeping up on it's doorstep.
After being under the Russian boot since the 1940's, do you blame the Eastern European countries from desiring never again to be weak enough to allow Russia to treat them as Russian colonies?
If Russia had behaved itself as anything other than a tyrant after World War Two, it would now be seen by Eastern Europe as a fellow European nation rather than a nation that they must protect themselves from.
America is NATO, and Norad, and funds 25% of the UN. We supply the largest supply of food and medicine than all of the rest of the counties on this planet combined.
There is a book written by James A. Michener, a historian, the title is Mexico you may want to read it.
Get back to me after you've completed the historical accounts of the people of Mexico, dealing with the Spanish, Aztecs, etc.
I don't think Mexico is in fear of the U.S. invading and repressing its population, and shipping the rest to the Gulag.
