LINK NATO's Eastward Expansion: Did the West Break Its Promise to Moscow? - SPIEGEL ONLINE

From Der Spiegel, November 26, 2009 :
NATO's Eastward Expansion: Did the West Break Its Promise to Moscow?
What the US secretary of state said on Feb. 9, 1990 in the magnificent St. Catherine's Hall at the Kremlin is beyond dispute. There would be, in Baker's words, "no extension of NATO's jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the east," provided the Soviets agreed to the NATO membership of a unified Germany. Moscow would think about it, Gorbachev said, but added: "any extension of the zone of NATO is unacceptable."
.
. Sergey Shoigu, Russian Minister of Defense
"Instead of joining forces against international terrorism, NATO has stated that its main threat is Russia. They continue to build up their military presence on our borders. Next year, NATO plans on expanding four more battalions across the Baltics and Poland, as well as US tank formations across countries of Eastern Europe. NATO has increased its military training two-fold, most of which is targeted against Russia. For example, the British Armed Forces have began their training at Salisbury Plain, using Russian-made tanks as well as army uniforms, which identify the "enemy". The last time this kind of training method was used - it was by Fascist Germany, in the years of the Second World War. The US Anti-Missle Defence System in Europe has been put on standby. The system is also being readied from Japan, and from 2017, from South Korea. The US is modernizing its nuclear bomb arsenal, as well as the Program for their storage in Europe. This is around 200 modernized US bombs that are kept in Belguim, Italy, Netherlands, Germany and Turkey. These developments constitute extra threat to the Russian Federation, which we simply can't not react to."

US officials have admitted that they supported the terrorists in Syria to oust Assad. What Shoigu says is true about the US. instead of joining forces against international terrorism, turned against Russia. I would say, instead of joining forces against international terrorism, they became the terrorists.

What is it that Washington does not understand? These bastards are going to get us in a war that no one can win. Once the nuclear weapons start launching, there is no rescinding it. Humanity is finished. Gone, you, your children, extinct. The nuclear weapons of today will end it all.
