What comrade ruff fish fails to mention:

The NATO-Russia Founding Act of 1997. Yeltsin signed it. Therefore Russia agreed to the Act/Agreement. What does it say?

To achieve the aims of the Act, the two sides made “a shared commitment” to a number of principles. These principles included, “…respect for sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security…” and, “mutual transparency in creating and implementing defence policy and military doctrines,” among others.

What does "their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security" mean? It meant/means that countries could/can choose to join NATO and by signing the Act Russia acknowledged that.

Putin has many times violated this agreement that his country signed. Starting with Georgia in 2008.

Yeltsin might have been a drunk, but he was a hell of alot more honorable, trustworthy and less mafia than the KGB agent.

Dude, you're confusing warm and soft again.
At the start of the 2008 events, Putin was at the Beijing Olympics.
Medvedev was then the President of Russia.
This is the first, and then the second Georgia began the day with the shelling of barracks with Russian peacekeepers with "grads".
What did you write about "ensuring your own security"?
