Ukraine did not need the admission to know that.

Nor did our friends the translators in Afghanistan.

“Important for all nations to know that US agreements have an undisclosed expiry date.”

Like the U.S. Constitution.

Funny how the claim has no link to a transcript or audio file...

Bipartisan war profiteer foreign policy.

I look back and I am amazed I ever liked this guy. The signs were already there, but I didn't want to believe it.

WION recently reported that uncovered past audio tapes confirmed that in exchange for German reunification, NATO would not nove one inch closer to Russia.

Now, the link shows the video and audio file. The claim is ambivalent, at best.

Former President Bush never says, "Yes, we promised the Soviet Union never to expand NATO."

At best, he says "That's right", when asked if Baker told Gorbechov NATO would not be expanded.

Perhaps someone will take the time to make a transcript.

People hear what they want to hear.

“...because “times have changed”…


My personal pet peeve: We should abandon all indian treaties creating reservations because “times have changed”.

It’s funny how we violate all sorts of indian treaties except for those. And those are what keep the majority of the indian nations poor and under the government’s thumb.

The whole indian culture of old needs to go away, just as in the old testament many civilizations’ cultures were wiped out, though many of the people remained and were assimilated into the dominant cultures.

That’s how you get order, and without order you get multiculturalism, which is just another word for chaos.

Time never changed George. Weak politicians like you, chose to ignore the threats to our shores from our northern and southern borders, from other countries like China, Iran, middle eastern nations, and all the countries you, and others have allowed to take advantage of us for decades. Weak politicians like you, let millions of people into this country from all over the world, illegally, and unvetted. Weak and evil politicians like you, put their own political agendas, and desire for power ahead of what is good for the law-abiding Americans who reside here. Gutless Republicans like you, and there’s plenty more where you came from, have sat back and done nothing, and have helped Democrats destroy this country. I hope you all rot in Hell.

I have made a transcript of the audio, so people can easily read what was said.

Here is the interchange about the "promise".

Prankster:

"When, in the early nineties, Secretary of State Baker promised Gorbachev not to spread, not to expand NATO; but this would be completely wrong, especially with the threat that Russia poses now."

President Dubya Bush:

"Yeah, that's right. That's right. Listen, times change. Baker was, ah, you know he was the Secretary of State for my dad, years ago. And so, and the United States must be flexible, adjusting to the times." And that's why you are finding such strong support for your country now.

Prankster:

"No, I mean, I mean, it doesn't matter what Baker really promised Gorbachev in past. We have to see what is going on now. "

President Dubya Bush:

"That's right."

Of course, what Baker may have "promised" in an oral exchange with Gorbechov, is not in any way binding on the United States or Russia. Treaties have to be written, so they are clearly understood. They have to be confirmed by the Senate.

So, it appears former President Bush was agreeing with the obvious. It does not matter what former Secretary of State Baker might have said, or not. We have to deal with the invasion of Ukraine in the here and now.

If you doubt my transcript, go to the video file and listen for yourself. If you find discrepancies, please correct me.

And Russia promised to respect Ukraine’s borders. How did that work out in Crimea and Donbas?

Next to the Kenyanesian Usurper, the Bush family is the worst thing to happen to America.

The reason we are 30 million people down the road to becoming North Mexico is the Bush family.
