A lot of memberwannabes rely on Article 5 of NATO, but as Nigel Farage asked himself, do you really believe NATO will start WWIII over a small country?! And how is these countries joining NATO benefiting the existing NATO members? Obviously, Russia has nothing more to lose given the sanctions, so, the only thing left is a direct NATO conforntation, but it seems that the West is more afraid of such conflict than Putin, who believes that this is inevitable and that if you're faced with an inevitable flight, it's better to strike first.
