This story starts much, much earlier. The NATO turning point was probably 2008. But the foundation of what has transpired in 2022 was probably laid back on the 20th of April 1954.
I personally also like to refer to the collapse of Russian Empire and particularly 1918 Brest-Litovsk treaty that signified a humiliating ceasefire and withdrawal from Sykes-Picot agreement for the Russians, but that's nerd talk and historical "what if" talks that only go well over a beer.
Probably started here below.
"In November 2002, NATO invited seven countries to join it via the MAP: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia."
2004 : Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia they joined
2008/ 2009 was the final " plead " Croatia / Albania.... Georgia didn't because of you know what happened.
2014 is basically screw you. We will grab Crimea not directly of course as a final warning.
2022 is
fuck around and find out.So we are now waiting for the results of the winner of the Darwin Award. Will it be Putin / Russia ? or EU / NATO.
USA won't lose by the way, too far away to lose anything to be honest.
