NATO is a defensive alliance. Why should joining a defensive alliance be viewed as a provocation? The Russian paranoia that NATO plans to invade Russia is pretty irrational and weird and mostly projection of their own intentions and world view IMO. Germans, French, Italians, Dutch, etc have exactly zero interest in starting an offensive war and trying to occupy Russia. Why the fuck would they want to do that? That shit don't make sense.

Russians need to let go of their WWII thinking. And I thought Americans were bad with weak historical knowledge and comparing everything to Hitler or Nazis.

NATO should haves been dissolved when the cold war ended. The US is ramping up to 100,000 troops stationed in europe and is building new bases in Poland. What's going on between Russia and former Russia doesn't matter at all to us. It should be let go and the only thing we should do is peace talks. Oh wait, we won't do peace talks because the US took a stance of indefinitely supporting Ukraine. A country that is not at all our ally. The US gov needs to let go, not the Russians.

Also with our air force, in an invasion there would be no need for our bases except to increase expense.

russia doesn't have a good air force at all. they specialized in air defense because they knew they would be worthless against NATO. the S400/S500 are amazing pieces of technology that should not be dismissed
