According to him, the alliance's expansion policy has significantly worsened relations between Moscow and Washington. Mr. Majumdar commented that NATO expansion has "sown the seeds of hatred" between Russia and the United States.
Journalist Majumdar shared the view that the alliance's actions have contributed to the emergence of "anti-Western trends in Russian society" and "revived" the spirit of the Cold War era.
Mr. Majumdar emphasized that the expansion of the alliance under US President Bill Clinton "laid the foundation for confrontation with Moscow", while NATO's actions under President George W. Bush "brought bilateral relations to their lowest point since the post-Cold War period"./.
