We are now, as a former U.S. ambassador put it in a recently, “at a moment of truth.” If Putin refuses to negotiate about things that are negotiable, like arms controls, and insists on curtailing NATO membership and military basing and operations, we will be a diplomatic standstill. If that happens, our best bet is a new Cold War.
So according to this people Russia disarming itself is negotiable and Russia should agree but NATO expanding to surround Russia with military bases is not negotiable. This is absolutely irrational thinking.
