DISINFORMATION - “What JFK tried to do before his assassination w/Jeffrey Sachs | The Chris Hedges Report - YouTube” - lies about “Nato expansion”.1
They conveniently leave out 2 treaties signed by USSR and Russia, 7 months and 9 years after this. And they lie even about what happened here. Just a complete pack of lies.
35:13 And he and Reagan actually realized the potential for peace and negotiated an end
35:24 to the Cold War. And quite remarkably, it was Gorbachev who unilaterally said, in 1990, “I will disband the Warsaw Pact military alliance of the Soviet Union.”
Lie. Gorbachev did not "offer" to "disband" Warsaw Pact. All members left. And demanded USSR withdraw from their territories. We All Fall Down: The Dismantling of the Warsaw Pact and the End of the Cold War in Eastern Europe | International Security | MIT Press
And James Baker III,
35:43 the Secretary of State of George Bush, Sr., who had followed Reagan as president, 35:49 of course. Baker ran to assure him, “we will never take advantage of your decision, President Gorbachev, we will not move NATO one inch eastward.”
35:49 Lie. Baker did not say "will not move". He offered not to station NATO troops or nukes in East Germany as a GOODWILL GESTURE, because Germany wanted USSR OUT and NATO to STAY. (Memorandum of conversation between Mikhail Gorbachev and James Baker in Moscow. Feb 9, 1990 Source U.S. Department of State, FOIA 199504567 (National Security Archive Flashpoints Collection, Box 38))
Gorbachev confirmed in 2014 that there was no discussion about other countries joining NATO at the time. No one was thinking about the subject, which had nothing to do with the German Reunification Treaty under discussion. (Mikhail Gorbachev: I am against all walls - Russia Beyond)
36:00 And this was repeated by the German government that was interested in German reunification. And Hans-Dietrich Genscher, the foreign minister of Germany, promised no NATO enlargement.
36:13 Of course, as soon as the Soviet Union ended at the end of 1991, the US cheated 36:22 and it cheated till this day.
36:42 Lie. Article 5 is honoured to this day.
And despite vast documentary evidence,
There is only a few documents, all covering the same subject at the same time.
we have a lot of people,
36:29 oh, we never promised anything. It's true Gorbachev didn't get it in writing in a treaty,
36:29 Lie. Gorbachev DID "get it in writing in a Treaty": Article 5 of the Treaty on Reunification of Germany
36:35 because they weren't making treaties.
36:35 "They weren't making treaties"- Lie. They MADE the treaty
They were arranging the end of the Cold War. But Gorbachev
36:42 was promised, and those promises were sheer lies.
36:42 Lie. They were not “arranging the end of the cold war” during that conversation. And Article 5 is honoured today.
[CHRIS HEDGES]: I just want to interject. I was there. I covered
36:48 the unification of Germany. I covered the East German revolution, the revolution in
36:53 Czechoslovakia and Romania, and they could not have unified Germany without Soviet acquiescence.
36:53 Lie. USSR couldn't stop re-unification.
The Treaty was proposed by the US to stop German RE-MILITARISATION. To protect the rest of Europe.
Nothing to do with NATO or any other country.
