Lol!

We are free to lie so long as it is not in writing.

What a great way to conduct diplomacy.

Here is a memo of the conversation between Baker and Sheverdnaze:

nsarchive.gwu.edu

"“A neutral Germany would undoubtedly acquire its own independent nuclear capability. However, a Germany that is firmly anchored in a changed NATO, by that I mean a NATO that is far less of [a] military organization, much more of a political one, would have no need for independent capability. There would, of course, have to be iron-clad guarantees that NATO’s jurisdiction or forces would not move eastward. And this would have to be done in a manner that would satisfy Germany’s neighbors to the east.”

Baker even talks about demilitarizing post-unification eastern Germany.

And this document evidences Baker's "one inch" promise to Gorbachev. See p. 6.

nsarchive.gwu.edu

“We understand the need for assurances to the countries in the East. If we maintain a presence in a Germany that is a part of NATO, there would be no extension of NATO’s jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the east.”

Then along comes Clinton, backtracks, etc. The idiotic neocons get into power. Their propensity to totally screw up things is almost as effective as Biden's. They are terrific at misusing power. Their meddling in Ukraine, well, what can be said.

The rest is dead bodies and history. And manipulated morons shouting "Putin bad man, Putin bad man!"
