This, is of course, predicated on the assumption that the smaller nations have no agency of their own, and exist only to be the pawns for the larger. This denies of course, that these countries asked for NATO membership because - well - what the fuck benefit has being associated with Russia ever brought other than misery. They couldn't get away fast enough to happy Europeanism.
One suspects these are the same sort of people who blame their wife for making them hit her.
Isn't that like blaming Ireland for The Troubles because they "advanced" into Donegal?
It's up to the people who live in a place who they want to associate with, and if the bigger guy next door doesn't like it... too bad.
