The Russian proposal — immediately dismissed by NATO officials — came in the form of a draft treaty suggesting NATO should offer written guarantees that it would not expand farther east toward Russia and halt all military activities in the former Soviet republics, a vast swath of now-independent states extending from Eastern Europe to Central Asia.
The proposals codified a series of demands floated in various forms in recent weeks by Russian officials, including by President Vladimir V. Putin in a video call with President Biden. They represent in startling clarity goals long sought by Mr. Putin, who analysts say is growing increasingly concerned that Ukraine is drifting irretrievably into a Western orbit, posing a grave threat to Russian security.

You can bet if the Traitor was still in the Oval Office he would back this play by Putin. No way Poland would ever go for this. Nor would Lithuania or Estonia, just to name a few. Putin wants to restore the Old Soviet Empire. Ukraine is making all kinds of noise right now about joining N.A.T.O. as well. Which must be causing Vlad all kinds of problems. Just think of N.A.T.O. Airbases on the Russian Border.
Putin has wanted to destroy N.A.T.O. since forever. Had the Traitor pulled off his Insurrection, the U.S. would have sat back did nothing.
He is owned by Putin and would have sold out N.A.T.O. in a heart beat.
