Това е част от нашия двоен подход в отношенията с Русия, базиран на силна отбрана и постоянен диалог“,
Двойният подход на NATO не новост за тази организация. Само че не "силна отбрана и постоянен диалог", а лъжа, подвеждане, извиване на ръце, изгаряне на мостовете и прекъсване на всякакъв диалог, когато е угодно, а после хленчене и "хайде да живеем задружно".
Няколко пъти е ставало дума за споразумението NATO-СССР от началото на деветдесетте. Дали е имало договор или не, дали е имало неписано споразумение за разширението на NATO.
В интерес на историческата истина писмен договор и написано черно на бяло споразумение за неразширение на NATO на изток няма.
Има "джентълменски" обещания, които явно не са били толкова джентълменски. Сделката е била подкрепа от Съюза за обединението на Германия срещу обещание за неразширение на NATO на изток.
On February 10th, 1990, between 4 and 6:30 p.m., Genscher (German Foreign minister in 1990) spoke with Shevardnadze. According to the German record of the conversation, which was only recently declassified, Genscher said: "We are aware that NATO membership for a unified Germany raises complicated questions. For us, however, one thing is certain: NATO will not expand to the east." And because the conversion revolved mainly around East Germany, Genscher added explicitly: "As far as the non-expansion of NATO is concerned, this also applies in general." (Der Spiegel, 11-26-09)
There is also the fact that U.S. Secretary of State, James Baker, even spelled out this commitment in a discussion with Gorbachev on February 9th, 1990 in St. Catherine's Hall at the Kremlin. 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. (Der Spiegel, 11-26-09)
NATO's then-Secretary General Manfred Woerner stated in a speech delivered in Brussels on May 17, 1990, that "the fact that we are ready not to place a NATO army outside of German territory gives the Soviet Union a firm security guarantee (National Interest, 4-16-07)."

In early February 1990, U.S. leaders made the Soviets an offer. According to transcripts of meetings in Moscow on Feb. 9, then-Secretary of State James Baker suggested that in exchange for cooperation on Germany, U.S. could make "iron-clad guarantees" that NATO would not expand "one inch eastward."

Дано не съм отегчил някои, но е време да се сложи край на споровете.
