Original Note:
Baker and Genscher talked about promising no expansion but it was never formalized in any written agreement. Oral agreements is not valid in international politics per Vienna Convention (1969). NATO expanded with Russia's consent with the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act. https://direct.mit.edu/isec/article-abstract/45/3/162/95270/The-United-States-and-the-NATO-Non-extension https://www.nato.int/cps/su/natohq/official_texts_25468.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on_the_Law_of_Treaties
