During the cold war US-leaded NATO was established to face Soviet Union (Russia) but those days has gone. Now Russian is going most likely to get membership in NATO under the Obama administration. The NATO military alliance was initially founded to defend Europe from Soviet aggression whereas Soviet-lead WARSAW was established to dominate Europe.
To mention about Russian membership in NATO, US Assistant Secretary of State Philip Gordon said the USA will think Russian membership in NATO for common security. He added Russia must not be excluded from NATO if it would meet the criteria for membership. However, Russian administration has often objected to the NATO expansion, particularly as it expansions to include some countries on Russia’s border.
