Should Georgia Be Admitted to NATO?

[Incongruous]

Without a doubt. I want them to shore up support in central Asia at the expense of China and India from NATO's point of view. This is what they seem to be doing naturally without much resistance anyway. I'm interested in creating a balancing act of power with NATO left, right, and center.

Uhuh, you realise that the U.S pretty much lost central Asia to an alliance of Beijing and Moscow? Perhaps you ant to read about what happened to all thos basing agreements you used to have.

I am well aware of this. That is why it is of the utmost importance that we offer Russia a more promising and secure alternative before it is too late and the SCO becomes more than a loose agreement between bordering states.

I see the SCO as an unnatural co-op. Those nations have the most to fear from one another. They are the most ethnically diverse, the most naturally competitive and drastically different geographically. I see Russia being over-run by the Chinese in 20 years if it doesn't solidify it's ties with the West ASAP.

What do I know? Fundamentally different totalitarian regimes have nothing to fear from one another if you look back historically... I forgot that we are living at the end of history.

@ Koga No Goshi: No I'm glad that we haven't been absorbed by a gigantic nuclear war.

With Georgia I was theorising that Russia could be persuaded to withdraw, perhaps thats my ridiculous idealism coming through.

Expediting Georgia into NATO membership OR reacting to Russia as if it had attacked a NATO member when Georgia is not one yet, both seem to be paths leading to war as far as I can see.

And unfortunately atm you seem to be right.
