🇷🇺⚡- In 2001, Putin recalled a declassified 1954 Soviet document proposing that the USSR join NATO-reading it aloud to journalists while Bush laughed nervously.

The Western reply back then?
\"There is no need to emphasize the utterly unrealistic nature of such a proposal.\"

Putin later said Russia itself would be ready \"immediately\" to join NATO.

U.S. Secretary of State then, Madeleine Albright responded:
\"This is not up for discussion now.\"

So what's the point?
• Is NATO a military organization? Yes.
• Is Russia wanted inside it? No.
• Has NATO expanded to Rusia's borders anyway? Yes.
Why?
