No lib has been able to answer this question i have so far: what would NATO do once it became Russia’s neighbor? Lend it sugar and power tools? Like why is NATO so adamant about expanding, is it because it’s corps need access to Russia’s resources to stave off decay for another few decades?
They want to step Russia on its metaphorical throat, so it submits to the whims of the West. The idea is that Russia’s nuclear defense umbrella was built at a time when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. Therefore, Ukraine is one big hole in this defense. So Ukraine being part of NATO means that at least for 2-3 decades (and likely forever more) NATO would have nuclear first strike capability over Russia, without fear of retaliation.
Which is exactly why Russia was willing to go to war over this. When they say it’s an existential threat, they really mean it. If Ukraine joins NATO, that’s the end of Russia as a sovereign nation.

The lib answer (which is bullshit, but let’s not straw man this) is that Russia’s neighbors want protection from Russian aggression.
Ah right, the “i feared for my safety and the safety of my fellow officers” defense.

If NATO expands, it means more money for Boeing. They are doing their fiduciary duty.
