Unlike the Union though, Nato is shying away from even awarding the equivalent of the EU’s association agreement, namely the Membership Action Plan (MAP), to Georgia, over fears of provoking Moscow’s ire. For all the aggressive rhetoric deployed during the Ukraine crisis, Nato seems to refuse to walk the walk.
