I don’t blame Russia for not wanting NATO on their doorstep.
Why? Russkies have lied and cheated through every arms treaty they have ever signed with us, have transferred rocket and missile technology to North Korea and other countries (and is likely responsible for North Korea's new boasts of having "hypersonics"), including Iran, have transferred weapons and money to communist terrorists like FARC, with FSB controlled Russian Mobsters propping up Narco terrorists flooding our country with drugs and illegals, and Russia has made itself the top nuclear power in the world with the capability of hitting targets in the USA within a few minutes of launch.
Why on Earth would you shed a tear, for one second, with the Russkies fake-whining over joining NATO, especially when there was apparently no plan--no movement--no attempt whatsoever to even bring them into NATO when they started this fake crisis?
