I see this as arguing for the sake of arguing. Do you think that places like Sweden or Finland will not join the west efforts should a conflict escalate? They have joined many times in the past as enhanced opportunity partners and they will continue to support the west even if they are not officially part of the NATO alliance.

The old maps were used to make a valid point of encroachment over the years by NATO

No relevance to the case.
The argument wasnt over a NATO war with Russia . The Argument was about NATO on Russia's borders

Didn't Ukraine surrender all nuclear weapons in exchange for a promise of territorial integrity? If the Russians broke that agreement why wouldn't Ukraine look to join NATO?Before Soviet troops were withdrawn from Germany a pledge was made to Gorbachev that NATO will not expend to the East, not a single inch. This was argued by Russia for years and denied by the West.
To answer Russian demands in a recent speech, NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg categorically denied that such promises were ever made.
As the evidence of this pledge has emerged, Stoltenberg stands as an ARROGANT BOLDFACE LIAR.

Why? They aren't a NATO country

Is Finland a member of NATO?
Six EU member states, all who have declared their non-alignment with military alliances, are not NATO members: Austria, Cyprus, Finland, Ireland, Malta, and Sweden. Additionally, Switzerland, which is surrounded by the EU, has also maintained their neutrality by remaining a non-EU-member.

Think of it this way.
If you lived between an aggressive neighbor, and an alliance formed to oppose them, and that neighbor started gobbling up some of the other countries near them, is that going to make you more, or less likely to join that alliance ?
Budapest memorandum went out of the window when U.S. government violated political sovereignty of Ukraine and staged a violent coup removing democratically elected legitimate president of Ukraine thus violating two paragraphs of Budapest memorandum it co-signed.

Always get a vibe with Paul Craig Roberts that he leans towards supporting Russia.
That being said, IMHO, it doesn't detract from the valid points he makes about Russia, Ukraine, and NATO.

You forgot Poland. It also borders Russian kaliningrad
And how did we stage this violent coup all by ourselves? Did we send in the Marines? Is it possible the people of Ukraine had absolutely no desire to live under the rule of a Russian puppet and forced him out on their own?

Any and all news or reports about Ukraine is information warfare, agitprop and so many are scurrying down the rabbit hole that has been opened by it. 
Just like WWII, we are only taking back what was once ours.
Ukrainian people voted him in and they could have voted him out, but we staged a coup and didn't even hide it. Our participation in 2014 coup was admitted during Congressional hearings.

Yeah, I noticed that.
You seen to have an analytical, "research grade" bullshit detector - nailed the Scamdemic too...along with @Dr. Evil and @Bigfoot .
I'm generally not a fan of Russia (or Iran, or N. Korea, or the PRC) but, for total mendacity, it's hard to beat the trifecta - the CIA, Pravda on the Potomac and Obola's sock-puppet Joey SoftServe.

That almost sounds sounds like when American people voted Biden in, but we know that's a farce.
Neither our government, nor EU, nor his opposition claimed that he stole presidential elections. I guess what almost sounds to you is a factual argument.

I'll be the first to admit that my knowledge on foreign politics is extremely weak. I don't think any foreign governments claimed our election was illegitimate either, but I was just making an observation that elections should be considered questionable after what we've seen here.
I would like to get an unbiased overview of what really is going on over there. It seems everything we read in the media is propaganda and I have a hard time believing any of it.
