I laugh every time I hear this one.

Al Gore didn't have any right or authority to make such a statement, and the Russians know it.

It's governed by the Helsinki Accords, which Gorby knows full well, unless he has forgotten Eastern Germany.

Sovereign countries are free to decide which alliances they enter into or not. It's not a US decision.
