This article shows just how much US promises can be relied upon and shows just why Russia has every reason to see the NATO hoards on their border as a threat. The same story goes for all the promises made to North Korea since the cessation of hostilities. Then there was the UK's Falklands war ..... where were our staunch allies, the Yanks then? Remember the NATO creed “An attack on one is an attack on all!”. The US supported Argentina because they would use US oil companies to exploit the Malvinas oil/gas deposits. The US smelt money!!
If the SHTF for Australia the US would put ‘America first’ not Australia ...... you are just ‘useful idiots’. If it was a toss-up between avoiding a nuclear conflict with China/Russia by sacrificing any defence treaty with the Aussies and thus throwing them to the wolves ..... guess who would win?
You are a very bad judge of character and appear to have a mindset pre-programmed and running on Auto ..... no further inputs required. The problem is that you are stuck in USSR mode, the McCarthy era in the US where there was a ’commie’ under every bed!
Gorbachev trusted the US, and their failure to honour their side of the bargain is now coming into the light. This could well start a conflict that would involve Europe. NATO at the behest of the US is poking the Bear ........ a dangerous thing to do!
So the limits on expanding NATO to the East WAS agreed in writing after all and yet people like you called it fake news or just ignored it? Things that are coming to the light, almost daily, is why the US is losing credibility and why the Russians and many independent states, will never tolerate a world dominated by the US. Here is the evidence as to how the US lied to and deceived Russia and still are, these are 30 official documents from the time that have been hidden away .........
How the US swindled Russia. – by Eric Zuesse
Due to a historic data-dump on December 10th, the biggest swindle that occurred in the 20th Century (or perhaps ever) is now proven as a historical fact.
This swindle was done by the U.S. Government, against the Government and people of Russia, and it continues today and keeps getting worse under every U.S. President. It was secretly started by U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush on the night of 24 February 1990; and, unless it becomes publicly recognized and repudiated so that it can stop, a nuclear war between the U.S. and all of NATO on one side, versus Russia on the other, is inevitable unless Russia capitulates before then, which would be vastly less likely than such a world-ending nuclear war now is.
