This proves the folly of having added a dozen new members to NATO since the fall of the old Soviet Union. Most are small Eastern European states with bitter grudges to settle against Moscow while lacking the common historical ties which bound the original NATO countries together. Western Europeans will not go to war over any of these tiny new countries, and it was a cynical lie to ever claim that they would. Inflation cheapens things, and NATO has cheapened its membership to the point of worthlessness.

Sure.

Poor Moscow just minding its own business, while those aggressive Eastern European countries with their "grudges to settle" are looking for a fight.

It is wise that we removed those nations from Russian control, and made them part of NATO.

NATO will fight for NATO, regardless of where your personal loyalties lie, as you propagandize against us.

"How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know nothing. It seems still more impossible that a quarrel which has already been settled in principle should be the subject of war." -Neville Chamberlain (27 September 1938)
