"Unfortunately, Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama failed to heed Kennan’s wisdom and continued NATO’s eastward expansion. Given Russia’s weakened state in the 1990s, the political establishment thought there was little risk. However, while the US was destroying Iraq and Afghanistan, Russia rebuilt its military. Blinded by its hubris, the US political establishment was slow to grasp the impact of the rebirth of a strong rival."

The issue of NATO expansion was raised officially at the end of 1993 and since then has not left the pages of the diplomatic calendar. This is witnessed by the session of the Council of the North Atlantic alliance which took place in the beginning of June in Berlin, the meeting of the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (NACC), and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Ye. Primakov's meeting with his colleagues from NATO countries.
