Serious question, I don't understand the big issue Russia has with NATO, it's just a military alliance. It's not like NATO is forcing globohomo on its countries, they have full sovereignty.
Why doesn't Russia just join NATO?

Brody Turner
NATO was formed to beat the shit out of russia. Learn history.
Juan Perez
Being accepted into NATO give the Nation full access to all of globo homos military goodies. Russia doesn't want kike missiles, surveillance equipment, nato bombers, on the underbelly of its literal industrial complex. That is massive negotiating power. USA would have gone to war for much less.
Isaac Jackson
Soviet russia you cum guzzling dipshit!
Jayden Jones
NATO was created as response to Soviet Union.
Jaxon Davis
Russia applied in late 90s/early 00s but America did not agree.

>It's not like NATO is forcing globohomo on its countries, they have full sovereignty.
no... they don't. and neither do your people. Want an example? Germany didn't want to shut down swift because it would fuck them very badly as well... 2 days later, they agree. They didn't agree because they felt bad.
Xavier Hill
Being in NATO means you get access to most of U.S tech. USA would never allow that, Russians from the Soviet era boomers will not forgive the cold war until they are all dead and gone. USA knows this.

>why the vietcong didn't just joined the south?!
Anthony Thomas
they tried to a while ago
Aaron Price
Yes but the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore
Jaxon Morris
Usa fears EU-Russia axis because it is more powerful than USA.
Blake Perez
>It's not like NATO is forcing globohomo
depends on your definition of globohomo
NATO is only open to liberal democracies who embrace market capitalism
Russia has never really fitted the bill
Alexander Phillips
Yes but Putin is dreaming of Soviet Union 2.0
Ian Moore
when you havent left your room for decade and dont understand how the real world works
Levi Parker
NATO's mission is to fight Russia. If Russia joined it would sort of break the whole idea of it.
Charles Campbell
Because in that case they have very different interests but since NATO is just a military alliance, unless they want to claim other countries there would be no reason not to join.
Aiden Miller
Boris Yeltsin asked for NATO membership.
It was denied.
Lucas Foster
>Russians from the Soviet era boomers will not forgive the cold war
Neither sides' boomers will forget it
Chase Miller
Could work agsinst China/Middle east too
Kevin Smith
>it would sort of break the whole idea of it.
it would make it adapt into something else, that's not a bad thing
Jacob Parker
>Why not just join your enemies?
This is how Germans think now?
Jace Stewart
I guess that makes the most sense of the answers here.

>A pro-democracy group advised by top historians, diplomats, journalists and a former NATO supreme allied commander launched Thursday with an initial focus on Hungary, casting it as the "next battleground state in the global fight to defend democracy."
>Driving the news: The executive director of Action for Democracy told Axios he views the nonprofit as a counterweight to the "cabal of autocrats and dictators" that has grown in strength in recent years — and which has found sympathizers among a strain of U.S. conservatives.
>The big picture: Critics of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who will seek a fourth consecutive term in parliamentary elections on April 3, have accused him of dismantling democratic institutions, pursuing anti-LGBT and anti-immigrant policies, and curbing media freedoms.
> Details: Action for Democracy's advisory council is chaired by Hungarian American journalist Kati Marton, and features prominent figures like writer Anne Applebaum, historian Timothy Snyder, political scientist Francis Fukuyama and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Wesley Clark.

When you join nato you have to collaborate with your allies and Putin and probably most ruskies dont want that.
They dont wanna collaborate they wanna rule.
