But I trust Russia to be the good guys far less than I trust nato.

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

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

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

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.
