My point is, Mexico and Canada could DECIDE to become allies of China and Russia. And then you would see the very same, how the US doesn't give a s** about their free decisions and invades.

Cuba once wanted to partner with USSR in hosting nuclear missiles (purely for defense purposes; you cannot invade with a missile) and US cared very much about it.

  ... cared only about the nukes. Conventional weapons remained in Cuba, and the USSR continued supplying them until the end in 1991. In 1978, for example, the USSR gave Cuba the newest MIG-27 fighter jets, and the United States did nothing about it, which proves the opposite of what Kremlin trolls are trying to argue. The USSR's support for Cuba went far beyond anything any NATO member has seen since the end of the Cold War, yet there was no war against Cuba.

    At that time the US hat nukes that could be shot at Cuba, too. Hipocracy again...

      Yes, but nukes were removed from Cuba and that was the end of the military confrontation. Conventional weapons like fighter jets, air defense missiles, tanks, etc still remained and were upgraded over time. Meanwhile, Central and Eastern Europe has seen no deployment of even conventional weapons beyond purely symbolic gestures like a few thousand lightly armed soldiers scattered across a region of more than 100 million people. If Cuba is the blueprint, then NATO allies could arm Eastern Europe to the teeth.

    Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Türkiye all host U.S. nuclear weapons. Incidentally, US nukes in Turkey in 1960s was the starting point of the Cuban missile crisis. https://www.icanw.org/nuclear_arsenals https://www.icanw.org/nuclear_arsenals
