The interesting and difficult thing to process here is whether this is a provocation without turning it into 'whatabboutism'<p>John Mearsheimer made the analogy "What if China became close allies with Canada and stationed troops and missiles north of the border, how would the USA react?"<p>Joining NATO means millitary bases, troop exercises, and 'defensive' missile installations that can be easily converted to offensive missiles without any visibility.<p>From that perspective, avoiding the issue of morality and legality, it seems like a terrifying step towards war between nuclear-armed powers.
