Clinton didn’t go into those states militarily in the 90s that I recall. He did sign a partnership charter with the Baltic states back in 1998 with an implied offer for them to eventually join NATO.
It’s not in the USA’s interest that the EU dominates any of the regions you mentioned either.
Thanks, I see you did mean the Balkans. I personally agree that Clinton’s anti-Serb (Slavic and Orthodox cousins of the Russians) adventures gained us no friends and created some enemies. One more example of Democrat foreign policy in action.
