    Technically he’s correct about the right, NATO agreed not to expand east back in the day and then violated that. I haven’t seen the evidence that they could bury everyone though.

        The topic of ‘NATO expansion’ was never discussed; it was not raised in those years. I am saying this with a full sense of responsibility. Not a single Eastern European country brought up the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact had ceased to exist in 1991. – Gorbachev

        So yeah this is another case of russia bending history to fuel their victim complex.

        no, but technically yes! Not like Russia needs to justify anything based on truth if that’s what they decide to do anyway though.
