Moscow’s Objections to NATO Enlargement
Moscow’s Objections to NATO Enlargement

Summary/Abstract: ...NATO plans exclude attack on Russia. And unlike the Warsaw Pact, which from today’s perspective ever more resembles a kolkhoz, the former “brothers in arms” are terribly eager to be members of NATO. Even at the phase, when NATO membership was still an idea, Moscow declared its objections. The tone was quite categorical, even threatening. “We will not allow at our borders…” etc. This rhetoric was accompanying the whole enlargement process and was based primarily on fear that has been instilled in us for the past few decades. However, it didn’t work out. Sorry, but this is our own business. And what you do, is simply known as interference in home affairs and an attempt to dictate policy to sovereign states. Just as Bulgaria has no right to object if Russia and Afghanistan decide to sign a defence treaty.
