Latvia is ~420 miles from Moscow and is already part of NATO. What is so special about Kiev?

Ukraine is not part of NATO. There are many fronts, some are better to push than others.

I think you forgot your own argument. Let me remind you: "If Ukraine were to join NATO, there would be a NATO base inside that range [529 mi] in days."

You are trying to justify Putin's actions by inventing a hypothetical while ignoring the fact that the NATO borders within 500 miles of Moscow is a reality for years.

NATO encircling Russia is as much of a problem as Russia encircling NATO. There's no contradiction in my argument here.
