14 March 1999 - joining NATO

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

I thought about applying for NATO membership myself, but it turned out I didn’t need to. Russia had no objection.

clue:

Former Warsaw Pact countries Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic became NATO members a couple days ago. They’re looking for security, and a likely source of instability is Russia—which feels threatened by the expansion of NATO. Can’t resist that kinda irony.

give me a clue so sweet and true
