NATO Chief Admits NATO Expansion Was Key to Russian Invasion of Ukraine — Jeffrey D. Sachs

The continuing U.S. obsession with NATO enlargement is profoundly irresponsible and hypocritical. And now Ukrainians are paying a terrible price.

    FTA:

    “The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement.”

    The background background is that Putin invaded Ukraine (Crimea) in 2014.

    You’re going to get a lot of hate for posting this, because it’s disinformative crap and Putin is a war criminal.

    If you want to see a talk that does actually bring this perspective – more or less, that Putin does have valid reasons for seeing his security threatened by the expansion of NATO – without the propaganda crap and without somehow trying to say that that justifies Russia invading a sovereign nation to rape and murder its civilian citizens, then watch this talk by John Mearsheimer. Inflammatory title aside, it’s excellent.
