> [..] but the US and its allies are the ones who wanted to encircle Russia by expanding NATO eastwards, even after they promised not to.

This is simply not correct, and even Gorbachev has confirmed this. There has never been any agreement stating that NATO is not allowed to accept new members in any particular direction. There were statements made by western politicians but never any pen to paper. The sovereign states that have joined NATO have not done so because of some US campaign or persuasion, but by their own free will. Your statement is indirectly saying that these countries are too dumb to decide for themselves, it's incredibly condescending.

The website defaults to Danish for me, coming from a Swedish IP.
I renewed my ESTA back in February, then they had a section with social media accounts but it explicitly said that filling that section out was voluntary.
The Nebraska legislature website blocks non-US IP's, so here's a link if you're outside the US: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/257484/LB67.pdf

Sweden, roughly 10.5% of gross. County council tax (out of which 76% goes to healthcare) and private insurance.
