With regards to the expansion of NATO, I see it as a mistake, even a provocation in a way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that NATO is itself a war criminal.
For years, we have heard warnings that Europe needs to contribute more to NATO's capability.
Russia is a part of European culture. Therefore, it is with difficulty that I imagine NATO as an enemy.
Following the end of the Cold War, there was much discussion concerning the point of NATO. In the event, it was reinvented as a means of reducing Russia's reach on its western frontiers and seeking to isolate it. Its former East European client states were admitted to NATO, as were the Baltic states.
NATO has been a thread throughout my life.
The alliance should agree... to an effective NATO role against the new threats presented by international terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.
The United States is NATO's leading military power, and President Barack Obama has required NATO to align behind a doctrine that has amounted to the most disastrous American foreign-policy debacle since Vietnam.
NATO's essentially run by the United States.
Our policy is European and Euro-Atlantic integration. There is no substitute for NATO.
I think NATO is a Cold War product. I think NATO historically should have shut up shop in 1990 along with the Warsaw Pact; unfortunately, it didn't.
