For people who think that "NATO enlargement" is just Putin propaganda, this was one of those diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks. It is very clear.

Also scores of politicians and analysts predicted NATO expansion would lead to a new cold war, or would split Ukraine, or other dire predictions, such as Ted Galen Carpenter, George Kennan (advisor, diplomat, architect of Cold War Soviet containment strategy), Strobe Talbot (deputy secretary of defense), Robert M Gates (secretary of defense under GW Bush and Obama). Even Jens Stoltenberg the NATO secretary general doesn't dispute it when he says "So he [Putin] went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders."
I hate when people seed doubt and force me to re-research shit I already know. But I have to be thorough.
