“We can see that with the expansion of NATO and the attempts to encircle Russia with NATO bases...”
You know, I assume, that NATO doesn’t go soliciting new members, but nations that want to join NATO come to NATO and apply. Just think: The vast majority of “new” NATO members are those countries that were under the Russian boot for decades, and they don’t want to fall under it again. They want nothing to do with Russia! That speaks volumes.
