The expansion of NATO is the reason for what is happening now

The expansion of NATO is the reason for what is happening now That's the opinion of a well-known and respected American political scientist. John Mearsheimer. There was a heated debate in the Clinton administration about whether to expand NATO or not. Realists said that it would alarm Russia and it would perceive it as a threat. Liberals believed that Russia saw the U.S. as a harmless hegemon. Russia got away with the expansion until it touched Georgia and Ukraine. It was seen as a declaration of war.
