“We wouldn’t tolerate Mexico being heavily-armed and aligned with either Russia or China.”
If Mexico had good reason to fear invasion from the USA, we ought to EXPECT it! NATO is not an offensive organization. It isn’t going to invade Russia. EVER! But Russia is proving THEY are willing to invade any smaller country not allied with bigger ones!
