[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 419455, member: 33"] I really don't understand why you give so much credence to this when there was no agreement signed and no public statement made regarding no eastward expansion of NATO. If it was agreed, surely for something as important as that there would be some documentation to support the claim. It was only a [I]suggestion [/I]that was discussed in negotiations over the reunification of Germany and there was never an agreement about NATO not expanding eastwards. It was Russia who claimed the USA agreed this with Gorbachev even though there is no hard evidence to support this which is why I say it is repeating Russian propaganda. You only have to read what he has said in the past to realise that the restoration of the Soviet Union is Putin's ultimate aim.
