all these little shitholes only dilute nato. putting ukraine and finland in nato when they're so economically and militarily inferior to russia will result in russia having nato by the balls. moreover, people who fear nato expansion are participating in the same fallacy as those who say nato hasn't lost anything in ukraine. they're already a nato force in reality, and we see the real red lines (unlimited strikes inside russia for example) not being crossed for fear of war. basing us troops in kharkov is a scary prospect for russia, that must be prevented by treaty, but i feel this new-look nato is inherently not the same group of untouchable first world powers. it will lose its bite and become more politically vulnerable in a country like ukraine.
