It would be curious to see how many of them there actually are. I suspect many have multiple accounts so they can “cheer on” their brethren (themselves). It’s clear some of them are being paid. There’s no way you’re gonna sit right down and send long message after long message taking hours just for yourself (unless you’re a special kind of stupid), and yet several have sent such missives to me to try to waste my time. I let them play for a bit and then pull out the scissors.
This ones from Jacksonville Fl.

FBI, too (probably).
I’m going to be kind and assume some wriggle room in the notion of ‘agreement’.
It’s true there wasn’t a signed treaty to that effect, but neocon assertions that the West didn’t promise the Soviet Union not to expand is, charitably ignorant, or worse lies:
A newly discovered document provides more evidence that Western governments broke their promise not to expand NATO eastward after German reunification.
Notes from a 1991 meeting between top US, British, French, and German officials confirm that there was a “general agreement that membership of NATO and security guarantees [are] unacceptable” for Central and Eastern Europe.
Germany’s diplomatic representative emphasized that the Soviet Union was promised in 1990 that “we would not extend NATO beyond the Elbe” river, in eastern Germany.
The document, which was formerly classified as secret, comes from the British National Archives.
It was made widely known this February by the German newspaper Der Spiegel, but was actually first published by US political scientist Joshua Shifrinson in 2019.
MYTH 2: NATO is aggressive and a threat to Russia Fact: NATO is a defensive alliance, whose purpose is to protect our members.
This is fiction because NATO military was used to partition Serbia (a move not all EU, or even NATO, members officially support). NATO also involved itself militarily in the Libyan civil war when none of the members of NATO had been attacked. That isn’t defensive by any definition. The fact is that NATO after Clinton and Obama is just a multinational vehicle to bypass American Congressional authorization for going to war.
Republicans in late 90s should have impeached Clinton for violating the War Powers Resolution when Congress failed to authorize his war in Serbia.
Bush, for all his strategic faults, at least got the Congress to authorize both his wars. Clinton and Obama using NATO to avoid this isn’t lost on the rest of the world.
MYTH 3: Ukraine cannot join NATO
Frankly, that is terrible writing. The issue is that everyone has know for decades that Russia would respond to NATO membership for Ukraine as a hostile act. This is made clear in our own leaked diplomatic cables, and even plain commentary by folks like Merkel to the press, ‘Russia would view Ukrainian invitation to NATO as a declaration of war’.
With that full awareness, it’s impossible to view actions of the neocons as nothing but deliberate provocations to bring about this war.
The speed of the pivot from pouring our money into Afghanistan to finding a new war to feed was breathtaking. The Deep State ensures the MIC will eat.
We truly missed an opportunity to ratchet back a new Cold War by not taking the offer to enshrine Ukrainian neutrality (e.g. Austria after WW2) and not ratchet up a new arms race.
MYTH 4: NATO is encircling and trying to contain Russia map
This is laughable. There are trial balloons in the press about a NATO+Japan for crying out loud.
MYTH 5: NATO’s interventions in the former Yugoslavia, Kosovo and Libya prove that the Alliance is not defensive
It’s an absurdity to call those interventions ‘defensive’. British parliament actually investigated the neocon lies about Libya. You should google their report and read it. But for god’s sake don’t repeat the lies like they’re some kind of ‘fact check’.
U.K. Parliament report details how NATO's 2011 war in Libya was based on lies British investigation: Gaddafi was not going to massacre civilians; Western bombing made Islamist extremism worse
Our friend from Spain had better watch out.
Slava Sleestak indeed!
One specific YouTube channel is monetized (the horror!), just like a few million other channels are monetized.
Including those backing Russia in the war Russia started. < /s >
I won’t argue the point as forum is too limited: 2 credible article sources:
1st Nato article:
Since Russia began its aggressive actions against Ukraine, Russian officials have accused NATO of a series of threats and hostile actions. NATO FACTS

More than twice that much lost to Covid compensation fraud.
More than twice that has been lost to Covid compensation fraud.
“It’s clear some of them are being paid.”
Well, eyes are starting to open! Of course, M-17, CIA & FBI are monitoring social media agents, especially those from Yevgeny Prigozhin’s St. Petersburg trollfarm. This is there job! LOL
Those that position their game-playing support for Putin/Kremlin should have realized this long ago. Many smiles have been generated by their “researched” fables.
“More than twice that has been lost to Covid compensation fraud.”
Absolutely correct. Thank you for your comment.
I believe most Freepers are just conservative American patriots frustrated by the mismanagement of our Executive, Legislative & Judicial system. Thank Heavens for Mr. Robinson’s forum!

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred sixty ninth day of the war.
Day 569: Sep 15
Today, the biggest news comes from the east.
FIRST of all, Ukrainians finally established total control over Klishchiivka. Previously, I told you that Ukrainians cut off Russian forces from supplies and encircled and destroyed a group of soldiers in the northern part of the village, however, it was still too dangerous to establish a permanent presence, as Russians were constantly conducting counterattacks from the railways.
Russian forces tried to support these attacks with the most advanced tanks in the Russian Army – T-90, however, Ukrainian drone operators were tightly controlling the area, and the moment Russian tanks got within 4 km of the village, they were promptly hunted down with kamikaze drones. Soon, Ukrainian fighters released a video from Klishchiivka, confirming that they are present in the northern part of the village.
SECONDLY, today it was finally confirmed that Ukrainian forces established 100% control over Andriivka. And while the control over the northern part of Klishchiivka was basically a matter of time because Ukrainians controlled all fortifications and cut off Russian supplies, the battle for Andriivka was extremely tough.
As previously reported, Ukrainian forces conducted a pincer movement by opening two axes of advance. Even though Ukrainians breached the Russian defense along the railways and established positions on the Russian side of the rails, retaining these bridgeheads was extremely difficult.
Firstly, Russian forces obviously understood that they were being cut off from supplies, which is why they were desperately sending one assault unit after another to push Ukrainians away from their newly captured positions. Recently released footage shows how Russian soldiers approach the Ukrainian position in the tree lines south of Andriivka. Ukrainian fighters released a video showing how they are defending against Russian counterattacks to keep the fire control over the supply lines and restrict the amount of ammunition and reinforcement to the main fortification.
The second reason why taking Andriivka was extremely difficult lies in the fact that Russians created a powerful bunker right near the village. Ukrainians tried to shell it and cause the whole thing to collapse, however, it did not really work.
The bunker was quite safe, which is why Russians could keep plenty of soldiers and ammunition to protect not only the railway embankment but also the village itself. Unfortunately for Russians, the shortage of resources kicked in nonetheless because after Ukrainians conducted a pincer movement, Russians in Andriivka appeared in the operational encirclement.
The commander of the famous Ukrainian 3rd Assault Brigade reported that over the last 2 days, they liquidated the commander of reconnaissance of the Russian 72nd Brigade, the commanders of all battalions of the same brigade, and almost the whole personnel with officers and many pieces of equipment.
Today, the Ukrainian commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Assault Brigade saw that they had established tight control over the region, and completely drained Russian forces, and decided to precipitate the operation. He took a drone with a loudspeaker and made an announcement to the remaining Russian troops in the area. He said that Ukrainians had established control over all positions, which is why resistance was futile.
He’d offered the remaining Russians to surrender only because Ukrainians need troops for prisoner exchanges. He’d given Russians 10 minutes and said that if the Russians would not take this chance, Ukrainians would launch the final stage of the operation and destroy everyone. As a result, many Russian units surrendered. Those units that refused to surrender were shortly eliminated in the final attack.
Overall, today, Ukrainians liberated 2 more settlements and moved the front line further east. The Russian defense line along the railway embankment was breached in at least 4 places and is gradually falling apart. Right now, Ukrainians are solidifying control over new positions and storming the remaining Russian positions along the rails, while Russian forces in Kurdiumivka and Ozarianivka are anxiously waiting for their turn.

I disagree. The forum exists to review these facts. Hell, someone is reproducing the Civil War here via the NY Times real time accounts on a day by day basis! This place is what we make it.
I'm not sure why you would consider NATO a 'credible' source on NATO. Tell me, can you find reference to the UK parliament's reports on the lies that lead to the Libyan intervention on behalf of jihadists? Or do they choose not to emphasize that in their version of history?
As for Brookings:
"In 1990, few gave the possibility of a broader NATO enlargement to the east any serious thought.
This is a lie directly contradicted by evidence I already showed you.
To wit:
Notes from a 1991 meeting between top US, British, French, and German officials confirm that there was a “general agreement that membership of NATO and security guarantees [are] unacceptable” for Central and Eastern Europe.
Asserting otherwise having been made aware of these previously classified notes is beyond disingenuous. It would be lying.
Oh God that is some embarrassingly corny, jingoistic shizzle. Ugh.
I like the "Possible Dream" of not a single dollar more of US taxpayer money going to the gay-dancing grifter and the corrupt craphole he presides over.
That dream's coming true soon.
Zelenskyyymandias
I met a traveller from a corrupt, money laundering mecca
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of Spandex and Leather
Dance in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose seductive lilt,
And puckered lip, and sneer of gay abandon,
Tell that its sculptor well those gay passions indulged
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the dollars that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Zelenskyyymandias, king of grifters:
Look on my gay dancing and thievery, ye Mighty, and cringe!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal fraud, writhing and bare
The Ghost Of Chicken Kiev weeps.
The desert sands silently scream, Slavo U Crayney!!!™
I'd be interested in hearing the details of that. Please elaborate. Thanks!
