Tell that to Poland, the Baltic States and much of Eastern Europe today.

No they don’t. You think they have a right to our protection?

There it is. Countries no longer have the right to choose to make military pacts. Okeydoke man.

Or NATO should have remained a strictly defensive organization and expanded to include Russia.

There’s reasons that didn’t happen…and it’s not just because “EU/neo-con expansionism”.

And NATO is a defensive organization.

They have no right to our protection.

What make YOU think they did?

russia should have been invited to join, along with the rest of them.

They have a right to ask to join.

And we should never say that a reason we wouldn’t consider letting a nation join is because “Russia will be pissed”.

Russia cannot have veto power over who is accepted.

Hello, Iraq called in an objection on that.

Yes, NATO has defensive aspects, but it has become primarily an instrument for aggression.

Ask the people in Serbia, Libya, Syria, etc.

Finland must forever accept that it is isolated and that Russia can attack it and nuke it at will because…

Anything else would be neo-con expansionism.

Y’all…sounds really silly.

Wow…talk about missed the point.
