You see ever since the collapse of the USSR the primary reason to be for NATO has ceased to exist, yet Russia is still made out to be the bad boy, after a while it responds by acting to type, happens with people happens with countries.
I wonder what would happen if Russia started building a military alliance with countries on America's border, eg Mexico et al? Would the US not bitch and moan.
Why does Russia care? Why does NATO need to expand? Just like I'll admit Russia is paranoid about NATO so the western countries are of Russia. I can't see Russia making a move against NATO or former republics same as NATO won't move against Russia. The thing is the paranoia remains on both sides.
