Foreign policy, unusually, is the focus of a second NBC series this fall. Jim Maceda kicked off a series of reports on Hot Spots with an assessment from Moscow on the rising tensions between NATO and Russia. He explained the Kremlin's response under then-President Vladimir Putin to proposals by the United States that NATO should expand along Russia's southern border to include Ukraine and Georgia. "From their view it is the West, especially the Bush Administration, who are to blame, answering every handshake offered up by Russia over the past decade or more with, they say, a slap in the face. Putin was personally instrumental after 9/11 in opening central Asia to US bases for the War in Afghanistan--but instead of respect…he got pro-Western revolts."
