If you don't want your neighbors joining NATO, be a fucking better neighbor. Every country that broke free of the USSR has a right to exist independent of Russian fuckery. The invasions of Georgia and Ukraine have made it quite clear the only way to prevent that is to join NATO. I've no love for NATO, but I love invasions, war crimes, and mass graves even less.

And before morons do the "it was because these countries tried to join NATO that Russia invaded", I'm going to preemptively tell you to shut the fuck up. One of the provisions for NATO membership is that you cannot have any outstanding territorial disputes with another country. Which means neither Georgia or Ukraine was ever going to be allowed to join NATO without giving up territorial claims on Ossetia and Crimea. Whichis never going to happe .

Both Western and Russian Imperialism can be bad guys, it doesn't have to be one or the other.
