This current round of NATO expansion is a political reward to governments in Georgia & Ukraine that came to power as a result of US-supported revolutions, the so-called Orange Revolution & Rose Revolution.  

The governments that arose from these street protests were eager to please their US sponsor & the US, in turn, turned a blind eye to the numerous political & human rights abuses that took place under the new regimes. Thus the phoney US policy of “exporting democracy” has only succeeding in exporting more misery to the countries it has targeted.  

NATO expansion only benefits the US military industrial complex, which stands to profit from expanded arms sales to new NATO members.  

The “modernization” of former Soviet militaries in Ukraine & Georgia will mean tens of millions in sales to US & European military contractors. The US taxpayer will be left holding the bill, as the US government will subsidize most of the transactions. 

Providing US military guarantees to Ukraine & Georgia can only further strain the US military. This NATO expansion may well involve the US military in conflicts as unrelated to its national interest as the breakaway regions of South Ossetia its Abkhazia in Georgia.  

The idea that American troops might be forced to fight & die to prevent a small section of Georgia from seceding is absurd & disturbing.
