Once Ukraine becomes a member of Nato, if Russia were to send any weapons - or any other help - to their Russian minority - that would be automatically an aggression against a member of the Organization. Technically, the whole world would be at war. If Ukraine enters nato, I’d expect that Russia would quadruple their efforts to stay ahead in the arms race which would follow. And they are able to do it.

There is hardly any other step that could destabilize the world as effectively. And what would be the benefit? Well, potentially, perhaps the wonderful summer night dream about regime change in Russia could become reality. Nice - for those who care about this sort of things. More likely, however, the opposite would occur - Russia could become a super dangerous nuclear Sparta - keeping the West in a state of fear of MAD. Something along the lines Iran may be planning to do.

Uncle Xi would be facing the task of turning all of this to his country’s benefit (while dramatically increasing military expenditures).

Any way you slice it, nato in Ukraine is a profoundly self defeating idea.
