After the Soviet Union withdrew the Red army from Europe, and was divided into 15 republics, Russia reached out to US, and we threw that hand and pushed NATO closer to Russian borders. Angry Russians turned to the man who has restored international respect for their country. Do we really think they will refuse it? How does the finding of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia into NATO makes America stronger, safer and more reliable? Rather, we become closer to a military confrontation using nuclear weapons.
After the Soviet Union withdrew the Red Army from Europe and split into 15 nations, and Russia held out its hand to us, we slapped it away and rolled NATO right up onto her front porch. Enraged Russians turned to a man who would restore respect for their country. Did we think they would just sit there and take it? How did bringing Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia into NATO make America stronger, safer and more secure? For it has surely moved us closer to a military clash with a nuclear power.
