Yet the claim that the negotiations towards this treaty included guarantees barring Nato from expansion into Eastern Europe is entirely unfounded. In the discussions leading to the treaty, the Russians never raised the question of Nato enlargement, other than in respect of the former East Germany. Regarding this territory, it was agreed that after Soviet troop withdrawals German forces assigned to Nato could be deployed there but foreign Nato forces and nuclear weapons systems could not. There was no commitment to abstain in future from eastern Nato enlargement.

That may or may not be the case.
What irks Russia is that NATO is expanding...and expanding...and expanding, approaching Russia's borders like the Nazis during Operation Barbarossa. One should listen to Movement No. 1 of Symphony No. 7 by Dmitri Shostakovich, which describes the approach of the Nazis as the Nazis sought lebensraum. Lest we forget, Russia sacrificed around 27 million lives, give or take a million, to defeat the Nazis. Watching NATO creep up to their borders like the Nazis, agreement or not, would concern any nation.
And in April 2008 at a NATO summit in Bucharest, NATO stated that Ukraine and Georgia would join NATO at some point. This would put NATO on Russia's doorstep, actually touching it. Putin told that summit that Ukraine and Georgia joining NATO would be a red line and would be considered a threat. But when this was stated Russia was giving NATO free transit to Afghanistan through Russia, i.e. Russia was being friendly and wanted to cooperate with NATO.
So what did NATO do in return? How did NATO repay this cooperation?
In the early hours of 8th August 2008 that mad bastard and Wall Street goon Mikhail Saakashvili decided that it would be fun to bomb the civilians of South Ossetia as they slept in their beds. This was a blatant provocation, designed to entice Russia into military confrontation and thus provoke Georgia into joining NATO, as had been agreed a few months earlier. But that failed.
Fast forward to February 2014. Ukraine had decided to sign a deal with Russia instead of with the EU/IMF. Neo-Nazis were then unleashed by NATO, who began to shoot protestors and police from The Conservatory, provoking a wave of violence and Yanukovich fleeing for his life. The neo-Nazis were beatified by NATO media. Powerful positions in the junta were occupied by the neo-Nazis, who were led by a man who was hand-picked by that gollum Victoria Kagan-Nuland and who receivs funds from NATO.
Clark is being very economical with the truth with his comment and exhibits false memory syndrome himself, making Russia out to be a bunch of whining little girls. But Russia was being friends with NATO, allowing NATO transit across Russia to Afghanistan, expecting that this cooperation would be recognised and reciprocated by NATO when Putin said that Ukraine and Georgia joining NATO would be a red line. NATO has repaid that friendliness with blatant warmongering provocations from their agents such as Saakashvili, and neo-Nazi coups that lead to the installations of politicians and ministers who have been hand-picked by the US State Dept and receive funds from NATO.
Lets face facts. NATO is expanding. Russia is not. Yet Russia is demonised as the imperialist.
Get your Cambridge head around that.
And how is that cover up of the British monarchy and Freemasonry engineering WW1 going? Is Emma Rothschild keeping you busy on that one?
