Nato's War

NATO's war. It was on a bright day in 1949 the Washington treaty was signed and later called NATO. This treaty was purely an American undertaken and designed to surround Russia with enemy troops and sow distrust of the Russia based on endless propaganda. When the communist system collapsed one would think NATO was no longer needed, but no, not so, because that organization had changed its character from a passive watchdog to an aggressive mastiff. The US administration had promised Russia under Gorbachev that NATO would not expand further eastward, but this promise was quickly broken in the head rush of winning over an old foe. Russia did not forget and forgive! In 1991 Gorbachev removed communism from the constitution and the market economy began with volatile results until Mr. Putin emerged and made the country, right-winged and Christian and demanding respect to stop NATO expansion eastward. Here we are Russia in a country she does not want to occupy, while the “democratic states” are passively defending a corrupt Ukraine.
