Året är 1990.
1990 fanns fortfarande Warszawapakten.
Det fanns vid denna tidpunkt ingen som trodde att WP skulle falla samman.
Diskussionerna handlade om Tysklands återförenande. Inget annat.
Idag vill vissa individer göra om historien och kasta en svart skugga på väst, för att man bryter avtal. Men det är fel.
Citat:
“The topic of ‘NATO expansion’ was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. … Another issue we brought up was discussed: making sure that NATO’s military structures would not advance and that additional armed forces would not be deployed on the territory of the then-GDR after German reunification. Baker’s statement was made in that context… Everything that could have been and needed to be done to solidify that political obligation was done. And fulfilled.”
Gorbachev continued that “The agreement on a final settlement with Germany said that no new military structures would be created in the eastern part of the country; no additional troops would be deployed; no weapons of mass destruction would be placed there. It has been obeyed all these years.” To be sure, the former Soviet president criticized NATO enlargement and called it a violation of the spirit of the assurances given Moscow in 1990, but he made clear there was no promise regarding broader enlargement.
Notera att Gorbatjov senare kritiserade Nato utvidgning. Javisst. Men det fanns eller finns inga avtal.
Var och en borde fråga sig, varför gamla allierade, söker sig till sin gamla fiende.
Jag har den uppfattningen att Primakovs doktrin, förklarar vad Putin också uttryckt. I sitt tal om 1997 års gränser för Nato och senare i intervjuer.
Ja Sverige fick ett brev om Rysslands intressesfär.
Man kan försvara Rysslands rätt att agera imperialistiskt.
Gör du det?
