I appreciate your's insight. It might sound utterly insane inviting Russia into Nato but wouldn't that not only help curtail the immediate problem, but also encourage other alleged rogue nations to sign up so that eventually the worlds police can be the UN...not Usa/Uk etc and take away those countries residents fears. Its too easy for them to blame the Usa. Harder for them to blame the collective UN if things go wrong in conflict zones as its made up of multinationals. I'm making it sound simple but if their is the will is it really that difficult?
