If Russia joins NATO, what’s the point of NATO?

@mattyb well, the point might be the blocs not being enemies? Then, the alliance would allow defence against rogue-state-supported attacks or something like that.

@AnT you don’t need minimum GDP spending on defense in a world with only rogue states. idk, NATO as a concept doesn’t fit in a world with a peace seeking Russia, you’d need a new world order (IMO)

@mattyb World alliances aren’t set in stone, though there are probably some natural antagonists. It wasn’t that long ago that people thought France and Germany were perpetual enemies.

A peaceful and democratic Russia might want to join NATO for many reasons, perhaps as bulwark against China.
