@politifact - PolitiFact - Fact-checking claims that NATO, US broke agreement against alliance expanding eastward

@tom_andraszek

I acknowledge it’s true, both from your Harvard document & other documents I’ve read on this, that there was never any formal treaty or agreement between the & the which forbade any eastward expansion of post unification.

Reality is, though, that Hedges isn’t “repeating ’s lie about a broken *promise* not to expand NATO beyond the borders of a unified Germany” simply because it wasn’t a lie!

While I am fundamentally NOT condoning Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, it is nonetheless verifiably true that verbal promises *were* made to by Secretary of State James during a Feb 9, 1990 meeting:

I draw your attention to the section of this — Politifact document entitled: "Not shift 1 inch eastward"

[Extracted from politifact.com/factchecks/2022]

“After explaining why the U.S. wanted the reunited Germany to stay within the framework of NATO, Baker told Gorbachev that "if we maintain a presence in a Germany that is a part of NATO, there would be no extension of NATO's jurisdiction for forces of NATO 1 inch to the east."

"I put the following question to (Gorbachev)," Baker recounted in a letter to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. "‘Would you prefer to see a united Germany outside of NATO, independent and with no U.S. forces, or would you prefer a unified Germany to be tied to NATO, with assurances that NATO’s jurisdiction would not shift 1 inch eastward from its present position?’"

Those comments, along with similar remarks from Baker’s European allies, like Genscher and Kohl, were part of what researchers at George Washington University’s National Security Archive called a "cascade of assurances" offered to the Soviets.

But Baker and other officials involved in the events have denied that the conversation ever turned on expanding NATO to other countries.”

The Kyiv Independent - Kyiv, Moscow's opposing attitudes toward Soviet past shape two different futures

Kyiv, Moscow’s opposing attitudes toward Soviet past shape two different futures

The decision to remove the Soviet statue’s symbols is a watershed moment in Kyiv’s years-long de-communization program: a movement that has seen Ukraine purposely distance itself from old Soviet ties to reclaim and reassert its independent culture, identity, and future.

Did you know?
In 1977, after 6 years without legal roads or a passable bridge and being told the government had no funds to help, the tiny West Virginia community of Vulcan became so desperate for a bridge repair that connected them with the rest of the world that they reached out to the Soviet Union for assistance.
