Nice Try

The Russians continue to try to block NATO expansion. They also are trying to neuter NATO itself. The latest effort involves Russia trying to prevent American and other troops from deploying to Poland and Romania. We won't discuss that. The Russians are annoyed.

You can't blame the Russians for trying, I suppose. They've tried to turn NATO into NYETO before.

While you can't blame Russia for trying, there is no way we should be foolish enought to fall for their ploys.

Expand and strengthen NATO so the Russians don't think they have a shot at bullying us and reforging the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact.
