Baker and the Bush I team recognized Eastern Europe as being in Russias sphere of influence. There was no desire to lunge eastwards. It would end in pointless conflict. The few neocons in that administration who wanted to, like Cheney, were roundly considered crazy.
But everything changed under Clinton, the neocons dominated his administration, and we went from detente, to the offensive.
