Summary
<p>George Beebe is the former CIA Director for Russia Analysis and currently Director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute. Beebe discusses how Russia's fear of NATO expansionism went from being common sense in the 1990s to becoming "controversial" claim. This narrative is dangerous as Russia will at some point consider it neccessary to retaliate against European NATO countries.
