LAURENCE KOTLIKOFF – Invite Russia to join NATO

Summary:
This would be an amazing development! It would be wonderful to bring the Russians back in from out of the cold. I do see them as European, although it's a vast country with a large non-European section. It would bring prosperity and peace, leaving us to spend our resources fighting climate change instead. I just hope such an alliance won't be used to isolate China, which was the Trump's administration plan. Once Russia is a NATO member, its fear of encirclement will dissipate. Moreover, it will be obligated to peacefully resolve its conflicts with Ukraine. Indeed, it can help enroll Ukraine into its new club — NATO. Russia should also, over time, be invited to join the European Union. LAURENCE KOTLIKOFF - Invite Russia to join NATO
