      All the experts on the subject, including Chomsky, happen to agree with my position. Obviously, though it’s me that has no idea what I’m talking about.

          The way NATO works is that countries have to be invited by a unanimous agreement of its existing members. Russia’s core concern has always been the expansion of NATO towards its border. This is what all the experts on the subject agreed would eventually lead to conflict. Germany, as well as any other NATO member, could have vetoed acceptance of Ukraine at any time. I don’t know why it’s so hard for you to acknowledge this.

              We don’t know what would’ve happened with NATO, but we do know that a war may have been avoided. Your concerns for the fate of NATO feel somewhat hollow in face of real human suffering that unfolded.

              In fact, it’s very likely that had NATO become irrelevant then Europe could develop much better relations with Russia going forward creating far better stability and security in the region.

                  That is literally not what both Germany and France tried all these years. In fact, there is no trying involved here. Both Germany and France could have vetoed Ukraine’s membership in NATO at any time. There is literally no trying involved here.
