::::With the accession of Poland to NATO, much more than that happened; Polish Russophobes (who [[Lavrov]] calls "extremists") also ascended to high level and influential bureaucratic positions in the [[Atlantic Council]] and the NATO bureaucracy itself, giving it fresh blood and a new reason for existence. NATO is no longer fully controlled by the Angelo-American alliance, but brought in extreme Russophobes from former [[Warsaw Pact]] countries, Poland, the Baltics, and Romania into its planning and decision-making process. They have more power and influence than France or Germany had. That is where NATO ceased to be a defensive alliance and went over to offense.
