- xdennis 5y agoNot just them. Russia said NATO should revert to its 97 form, which effectively is the same form it had during the Cold War (except for the German reunification, which is telling).
- throwoutway 5y agoRussia is demanding that NATO nations (ie Bulgaria) leave NATO. The alliance itself is being diplomatically attacked by threatening a real ground war
- ivan_gammel 5y agoIt’s a starting point for negotiation, to ask more than you need. Russia was concerned about NATO expansion to those countries, but was not willing to act on it when it happened. As long as there are arms controls treaties in place, it will not be a serious threat for them.
