Putin, in telling people to not join NATO, has become the best advertisement and reason to join NATO

That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.

Yeah, I'd love my country to have its citizens massacred and children raped.

Many NATO members(current or potential) do not have huge mass of land with 45 million people. I doubt all of them would fight as hard as Ukraine has either.

Russia has been stunningly incompetent but Ukraine has a huge population, is fighting absurdly hard and has a lot of foreign arms and supplies pouring in.

Sweden and Finland would not fare as well. Finland for example has about a ninth the population and about 11 times less active soldiers.

21k soldiers would get curbstomped by Russia pretty fast incompetence or not. The raw numerical advantage would be insurmountable.

I feel like if Russia had somehow been accepted into NATO then Putin would have attempted to abuse their membership. Probably false flag attacks on some Russian towns along the border in order to start wars to regain former Soviet territory, and wed be helping him.
