Don’t fall for that lie. NATO did not expand. Countries in Eastern Europe willingly decided to apply to join to be a part of NATO. They agreed to defend us and vice versa, with a unanimous vote of all current members countries.

“NATO expansion” is a term that the Kremlin uses without acknowledging that those countries joined us. We in NATO didn’t force them to join.

Remember, the Russian and Chinese governments will lie to your face in an emotional and official capacity. Don’t take anything they say at face value. They have straight up lied a lot in recent weeks.

I mean I agree you shouldn't trust anything Russia says...




...but that's quite literally what "expansion" means.

Ah, yes. Speaking of lies, below is a page from February 12, 1990 (Ottawa Open Skies Conference) diplomatic notes. It addresses Baker's assurance to Shevardnadze that in exchange for Russian acquiescence to a re-unified Germany joining NATO, NATO would not expand eastward. "And if U[nited] G[ermany] stays in NATO, we will take care about non-expansion of its jurisdiction to the east."

Based on the downvotes to the OP, it appears the PT has, after a brief confusion, returned to their pro-Russian foxholes.

So now for one to not be ""pro-Russian"", one must proclaim "expansion is not expansion"? One must claim that identifying expansion as expansion equates to Russian propaganda"?

Is that the fairytale world you operate in?

It’s that Russia claims the West is forcibly expanding it.

The issue is what is nato for? If it only really exists as a deterrence to Russia, do we think Russia would at some point feel threatened by its presence ever closer its its border? What should Russia do in response to growing military at its border?

Why should it do anything?

Many many countries have the militaries of other countries on their border.

Sit back and take it of course. Cause we’re the good guys and they should know we would never attack them. /s
