After the NATO bombing of Kosovo in 1998 without a [[Unitede Nations]] Resolution, the use of NATO to wage aggressive war called the organization's reason for existence into question again. Some called for the abolishment of the organization, stating that it had lost it original purpose.
After the NATO bombing of Kosovo in 1998 without a [[United Nations]] Resolution, the use of NATO to wage aggressive war called the organization's reason for existence into question again. Some called for the abolishment of the organization, stating that it had lost it original purpose.
With the collapse of the [[Warsaw Pact]] despite assurances to the [[Russian Federation]] that it would not do so, NATO expanded to [[Central Europe]]an countries, these included [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]], [[Lithuania]], [[Slovakia]], [[Slovenia]], [[Bulgaria]] and Romania, resulting in an organization of 26 nations. This spark of expansion was seen as an offensive move by [[Russia]] and caused a rift in the NATO, Russia relations. The Russian lower house released to the press a statement, "At present we are debating the draft statement of the State Duma which we are planning to adopt in connection with NATO's expansion in Europe. Our opinion is equivocal that this act is erroneous. I think that this is a big historical mistake on the part of western states."
