Damn if only people in Moscow had considered joining NATO, oh wait they did, I’m sure Ukraine will join any day now don’t worry, ukraine uber alles and all that, how good is imperialism, heck yeh
Assuming they were sincere about it, it probably wouldn’t have lasted. The way they maintain and assert authority over autonomous regions would’ve had to change from stamping out separatist movements to more diplomatic and democratic solutions.
Though it might’ve reduced the rampant corruption we saw after the dissolution of the Soviet Union that moved Russian military hardware into warzones at the time.

That’s like letting a wife beater volunteer at an abused women’s shelter
The people in Moscow have other more pressing issues inside their country that needs fixing before concerning themselves with external alliances.
No other country was accepted into NATO while in the state that Russia is in right now.
Nice stroke you had there
If only they tried to join in good faith…
