Putin is right that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is a threat; not just to Russia, but to the West itself….
…
Since the end of the Cold War, it has been the West, not Russia, that has continued expanding its scope of influence. In 1990, US Secretary of State James Baker, discussing the inclusion of a unified Germany in NATO, said, “If we maintain a presence in a Germany that is a part of NATO, there would be no extension of NATO’s jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the east.”
German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher said at the time, “For us, one thing is certain: NATO will not expand to the east.”
Since then, NATO has expanded three more times, adding 12 more countries.
