Better Late than Never: Time for Russia to Join NATO

V. Rühe, K. Naumann, F. Elbe & U. Weisser | March 9, 2010

The time has finally come to invite Russia to join NATO. ++ “Trans-Atlantic security needs have changed fundamentally in the last two decades. The East-West confrontation has ended, and Moscow now shares many interests with NATO.” ++ In this context, the inclusion of Russia in the organization would mark the “logical consummation” of a Euro-Atlantic security order of which NATO would remain the centerpiece. ++ This new Euro-Atlantic alliance could also help offset the strategic dynamics of “large Asian powers.”

I like this comment! What's this?
Germany's Der Spiegel has an agreement for a minimum amount on pages to be printed in each edition, it seems to me....

To include Russia into NATO would also mean that China and India will find a couple of new friends... the last stand of the "White Man" as Professor Scholl Latour would call it?
