Which they said in reference to east Germany, they agreed they would not move their military 1 inch east into east Germany when it became a part of NATO. That’s an agreement the US honours to this day, with no military bases in the East The U.S never agreed though formal or informal that it would block former soviet imperial possessions from attempting to join the NATO alliance, and they did it specifically because they’re afraid of Russia. Do you think it’s a coincidence that a majority of the population in every Warsaw Pact member want to join NATO, and to this day wants to remain a member? Russia is a large militaristic state with a history of conquest and NATO is really the only option for all these smaller states Russia is used to treading on

No, that's a bad idea. There would be much more threat in Europe if that happens.

@@ultradragon864 stop with that Russian propaganda. If Russia wouldnt attack Ukraine because their desire to join EU these countries would not join NATO. Russia kills innocent people and lie to their own people. Its not a coincidence that the only countries that supports russias invasion is dictator-countries while the free-world supports Ukraine

You understand that both Canada and the United States are founding NATO members, right? The reason why NATO is so powerful is because it has the US military in the pact.
