These include a commitment not to enlarge the Alliance to the East and eventual membership for Russia. Neither of these, states Ruehle, was ever true, but there are some grounds for a misunderstanding by Moscow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">His policy prescription for the Alliance is to adopt a selective and sober approach to future dealings with Moscow, one devoid of rhetoric on a strategic partnership and more focused on reciprocal cooperative ventures of mutual interest. <\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"FooterSignature\">Jeffrey A.
