Right you are. So the "thinking" must go something like this: We have an 800-mile common border with Russia. We have an uneasy status quo with them, we leave them alone and they leave us alone. How can we upset that delicate balance? Hmmm, I know, let's poke the bear and join NATO..... NATO will come to our rescue if Russia decides to invade.. for some strange reason...like say if we joined NATO. LET'S DO THIS!!
