Theoretically, they do, but the anarchy of international relations does not recognize such a thing as a 'right'. If Mexico or Canada wanted to join an alliance hostile to the US, you can rest assured that the US would do something about it.

Yep, pretty much what Russia is doing, they have a right to throw the temper tantrum. But I trust Russia to be the good guys far less than I trust nato. And we all know nato is guilty of some very questionable stuff. But nothing of the size of what we see from Russia both present and past. But yes,

Taiwan has a security guarantee from the US, but is not a member of any alliance.

They do, but until America gets there, they are on their own. Nato offer more immediate protection. For instance Poland coming to aid Estonia.

he US alienating Russia is pretty dumb on its part.

Agreed. If tangerine man was still president we wouldn't see this. Russia was pretty dormant in comparison to Obama and Brandon's rule.

I... have severe doubts about that. Estonia would probably be overrun before Poland has even gotten its forces ready.

The funny thing is that Trump was much tougher on Russia than these two, which was considered a mistake by a lot of realist IR scholars - for precisely that reason.

I don't know, I still trust nato more than Russia, the former genocidal commies. But those countries are outsourcing their defense, so I can't really blame them.

Either way, have an updoot as you make some good points, sir.

If I were Poland, I'd definitely want to be in NATO.

But if I were Russia, I'd definitely not want NATO in my backyard.
