Except that now if NATO is involved in hitting his new territory... its an attack by NATO on Russian territory
Doesn't matter a damn if its contested..its the premise for other escalation
There is NOBODY on the U side...be it NATO U or the US that is looking to deescalate..only to escalate
Why?
And now U making formal application to be part of NATO...that is the entire premise for the escalation in the first place and there's no way Russia will allow it
