Again, you are just deflecting, trying to distract from the core: The neighbours of Russia do not want to be invaded by Russia, so they join NATO.

It could as easily be stated that nations join NATO in order to participate in NATO's war crimes, and share its war treasures. For the same reason that immigrants come to USA - because that's not where the bombs are falling.
Both statements are valid, and have just as much evidence supporting them.

...So now the Finns are joining NATO to participate in NATO war-crimes?
I did once have to sit through a Finn slaughtering a karaoke version of "Sweet Caroline", but I would hardly consider it a war-crime.

Do you deny that NATO is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity on states its member-politicians have 'declared inferior'? Finland is just as capable of xenophobia as any other NATO member.

What does that have to do with the core claim that NATO protects Russian neighbours?
NATO can be a vile alliance of war criminals, AND an alliance that protects Russian neighbours against invasion.

I'm sorry but what a weak reasoning. Why do eastern european countries join NATO, why does Finland joint? Because they want to raze the middle east and have xenophobia with Russians?
No, they join NATO because it provides security against Russia, a neighbour they fear. And they have plenty of reasons for such fear.

Yup. And with you as the xeno, that's no wonder.
