Also the article explicitly states that the US never made any promises about NATO. So what Putin cooks up in his nasty little brain is not something anyone can control.

Unless you think that's our fault too?

At any rate, I don't think the article you link supports your assertions, and I completely disagree with those assertions except where you say this is not the fault of the Russian people.
