After 9/11/2001, Bush and Putin developed a close personal bond based on a shared definition of a common threat -- terrorism. US-Russia ties were close. The US withdrawal from the ABM treaty and NATO expansion faded as contentious issues. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Why wasn't he angry back in 2001? Why was he suggesting that Russia join NATO in 2000? The Kremlin's disdain for NATO expansion is a variable, not a constant, in Russian foreign policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin is angry because he believes NATO promised not to expand into Russian territories such as Poland.

Bush's decision to invade Iraq fueled new tensions. Putin (like Germany, France & Obama) thought that intervention was a huge mistake. At their first meeting in 2009, Putin reminded Obama of that mistake. 2/ https://t.co/LAWnYEVCKb — PolitiTweet.org
