But NATO is already at russian border. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are NATO members since 2004.

Also, if russia annexes Ukraine (because, remember "Ukraine doesn't exist, they all just russians") then suddenly the number of NATO members that would share the border with Russia will include Poland and Hungary (members since 1999), Slovakia and Romania (members since 2004).

I don't think it works like that; it's not Risk.
