In 1990, James Baker, Sec. of State, promised Gorby that NATO wouldn’t move to the east if the USSR agreed to German unification.

Bubba Clinton was the first agent of the neocons.

Putin discussed joining NATO with Clinton...and much more.

Thanks for posting this very informative video.

Jumbo eggs in the Houston area are about $2.50/dozen.

Eggs are always more expensive around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

So, some random dude with little authority did a bunch of yapping. That's not a binding international agreement whatsoever.

HELPFUL POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION:

1. Putin’s Endgame: Unravel the Post-Cold War Agreements That Humiliated Russia
Moscow’s military forces threaten Ukraine, but the bigger prize is restoration of Russia’s sphere of influence stretching through Eastern Europe
Wall Street Journal
By Stephen Fidler

https://www.wsj.com/articles/putins-endgame-unravel-the-post-cold-war-agreements-that-humiliated-russia-11645482412

“The worlds attention is on Eastern Ukraine, where Moscow’s martial forces circle. Yet Russian Vladimir Putin’s ambitions extend far beyond. He wants to renegotiate the end of the cold war.”

2. NATO NON-ENLARGEMENT?
“NATO as an organization made no such pledge, and the formal agreement signed at the end of those negotiations said nothing about the alliance not expanding eastward.”

“In any case, as the North Atlantic Treaty stands now, and according to the Treaty of Final Settlement with Respect to Germany which states that parties agreed on the “respect for […] all states’ […] inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security”, Russia can hardly argue that certain states are not legally capable of joining the organization.
Therefore, in conjunction with Article 10 of the North Atlantic Treaty, the Treaty of Final Settlement gives every qualifying state the right to join NATO.”

“$187 monthly pension not stronk.”

Think that’s funny to laugh at the misfortunes of others? What has this aged pensioner done to you? You are one sick puppy.
