    Technically he’s correct about the right, NATO agreed not to expand east back in the day and then violated that. I haven’t seen the evidence that they could bury everyone though.

          It’s written right in your article:

          None of NATO’s pledges to the leaders of the Soviet Union have been written down in any agreement, signed by the two parties and codified. Indeed, no one claims to have such a document.

      Is it expansion if people are clamoring to join you?

        no, but technically yes! Not like Russia needs to justify anything based on truth if that’s what they decide to do anyway though.

          Technically yes isn’t yes tho. I mean Russia will do anything to justify itself. The difference between NATO expansion and Russian expansion, Russia engages military operations while countries are trying to join NATO to protect themselves from Russia
