> Of course Russia knew NATO would say "no". They just wanted to play that game.
You think too highly of Russian higher-ups. They’re truly lazy people and all they wanted since Putin came to power was to “get into the club” with first-world capitalists. They were buying entire buildings across Europe and France just for themselves (for the government on paper) to rest, to eat and whatever else the rich do when they don’t do their job. But that’s only the foreword, the tale is in 2008 Russia–NATO summit in Bucharest Putin proposed a coalition to Bush & co. to fight world terrorism. He thought that the world terrorism wasn’t instigated by U.S. and its fellows, he thought that there can be a “superhero club” where Russia could be a member with those Western countries. He seriously believed that.
