[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NATO expansion isn’t the cause. It’s the effect. Countries want in NATO and the EU because Russia won’t leave them alone, militarily or economically. They don’t want to be puppet states with Russia installing thei leaders and looting their economies. [/quote]

Yes, this is the tl;dr explanation for those with short attention spans.  I would just say they don’t want to “go back to” being puppet states—been there done that. Freedom was hard won and they’re not giving it back.[/quote]
At the same time, small countries are puppet states, always will be.
No super power has their interest in heart
The countries that have a border with Russia will have it for all eternity and it is in their interest for Russia to be happy healthy wealthy and wise.
Everybody wants to rule the world and the superpowers care about themselves and themselves and themselves
The interest of NATO is not everyone's interest[/quote]

This is ridiculous and dangerous understanding of modern politics.

Many small countries are far from puppet states (Finland, New Zealand, Ireland to name but a few)

It is in American interests to protect democratic values and countries that follow rule of law and democratic outcomes - unless you want to end up in an authoritarian puppet regime yourself. [/quote]
