In recent times, the world has undergone great changes, Russia's war against Ukraine has caused many netizens to discuss, Xiaobian believes that everything has a cause.
Russia has applied for MEMBERSHIP three times
In 2001, Russia's first application to join NATO was rejected.
In 2004, Russia again applied to join NATO, which was rejected.
In 2008, Russia's third application to join NATO was rejected.
Why NATO, which has 30 military allies, will refuse three times in succession in the face of the application of a superpower to join, if Russia joins NATO, then the overall military strength of NATO will be exponential growth, Russia has a strong military force, and why is it obsessed with joining NATO.
As the saying goes, "one mountain does not allow two tigers", if Russia joins NATO, it will compete with the status of the United States.
Then, NATO not only does not agree with Russia's accession, and even five eastward expansion to encircle Russia, if we carefully observe the world map, we will find that if Ukraine joins NATO, NATO's military forces will continue to push eastward for more than 1,000 kilometers, directly approaching Russia's doorstep, plus NATO's three Baltic countries, NATO will form an arc encirclement of russia's western region, which is probably difficult or unacceptable for the world's second nuclear power. But the consequences of cornering a superpower are unimaginable.
Nato is a member state after five eastward expansions
Why Russia chose to go to war
Why did Russia choose to go directly to Ukraine rather than negotiate, in fact, Russia has been trying for 30 years to reach an agreement on NATO's non-eastward expansion, but has been deceived, pressured and blackmailed.
If Russia continues to swallow its anger and tolerate NATO's continued eastward expansion, then Russia's future development will be curbed, so Putin, as a Russian president, resolutely chose to go to war, Xiaobian believes that Putin is a great president, he burned himself, opened the road to Russia's future development.
If Ukraine succeeds in joining NATO, most of its military equipment and forces will be deployed on Russia's doorstep, which is a very big threat to Russia's national security and territorial integrity.
In fact, it seems that the Russian-Ukrainian war is actually a war between the US-led NATO and Russia, Ukraine is just a pawn, but it can't blame others, and would rather be someone else's pawn than return to Russia' side.
The above is the editor's views on the war between Russia and Ukraine, welcome to discuss in the comment area!
