I don't think that stopped Turkey (having a territorial dispute with Cyprus) from being admitted. Also, your interpretation means Russians would have to rely on Nato interpreting their own criterias in a certain way. This may be a reasonable thing for you or me — but I don't think it's a reasonable thing for the Russians, considering all the bad blood between Russia and Nato for the last 70 years.

  My imagination has nothing to do with it, but from what I know from history, countries will go to great lengths — sometimes leading to their destruction — when they feel their existence is under a threat.
