I guess you are right Davo. It would make sense to join a co operation treaty with India, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia. USA etc, but NATO makes no sense, NATO was formed to counter the post war threat of the Soviet Union. Russia even wanted to join the EU. Now NATO have botched it so badly that Russia is rebuilding the Soviet war machine and expanding the nuclear arsenal, because of the actions of NATO. Russia have been driven closer to China. IMO NATO is toxic.
