> Let me educate you a little bit, the US lied to the world, they promised they'd never expend NATO in Europe, they want Ukraine to join NATO and become the N'th american military base, Russia went ahead and made sure it wouldn't happen since Ukraine, the most corrupt country in Europe [1], went silence radio You're just repeating Russian talking points. None of what you said is actually true. Russia was part of the signatories (basically they were asked if they were ok, and they OK'd it) for the formation of NATO, and that agreement didn't have any clauses on expansion. This is a fact in writing that anyone can verify. Did you know this? As a separate matter, Putin claims Russia was promised NATO would not expand. There's two problems with this story. First is, does anyone believe that a smart guy like Putin would just take a verbal promise and not get it in writing? I wouldn't take verbal promises if I was just buying a car, let alone deciding on the future of my country. Second problem is that Gorbachev who was actually physically present, said that no such promise was ever made to Russia. So stop spreading lies.
