If our adversaries (Russia, China, North Korea, Iran etc. etc.) had a military alliance that would be a very very big problem for the West (a national security threat actually). There would be conflict, especially if it spread further west.

 

You know this. You are pretending you don't.

 

Making up reasons why countries may or not join is irrelevant. If it was happening to us - which it is for Russia - it would be an issue and likely war.

It's not at all irrelevant and it's you making up hypothetical examples.

 

The main reason why NATO expanded Eastward was that Russia's neighbours did not want to be dominated by Russia again. They joined NATwo to be protected from Russia.

 

You hypothetical situation still doesn't make sense.

Oh yeah, right.....which is why Russia will reject it. 

 

Dang - right again!
