@gregoryuschold3870 That in and of itself is a stupid talking point. That "promise" was made when the Soviet Union was still standing. That promise was made in early 1990 and the Soviet Union voted to dissolve almost 2 years later. The expansion of "NATO" after that stage was stupid as the whole theory of NATO was defending against Soviet Communist expansionism. Having said that, it's none of Russia's business who joins any treaties that it is not itself involved in. To sum it all up, this is a dumb talking point for Russians. But it certainly points out the fact that we have no business interfering in Russian-Ukrainian bilateral disputes. Everyone seems to be stupid. The best talking point that Russia has is US and EU interference in Ukrainian elections as they seemed to be promoting anti-Russian politics in domestic Ukrainian electoral politics. This is very bad and this cabal in US "government" is the same one that torments its own Citizens and joints with European leftist parties (and the EU itself) to try to turn all "democratic" politics toward Fabian Communism. Nobody can better understand what I wrote than Xi and Putin because it is Communist academics that sort of promoted these talking points and philosophies over the years starting around the time FDR and Stalin got together (almost a century ago) to "defend democracy" against Stalin's enemies. Notice how Stalin was a key "defender of democracy" in this US sponsored political project.

@KevvDogg LOL. There's plenty of pork to pass around. That's only one example. Storage fees. Yeah, no. Normally aging ordnance is used for drills and so forth and instead it goes to Ukraine. If that runs out then we have to buy more. But what I have heard is that they've also gone to NATO and "special members" to ask for their aging stuff. But we're also sending Ukraine tons of cash so your story is deceptive if not outright fraudulent.

@gishjalmr5628 It's not like frozen meat. A lot of systems age and the Pentagon wants updates so there's a FIFO principle in play but the weapons manufactures are not getting the bulk of the money marked for Ukraine. Most of it is going to the proverbial pork barrel and the weapons manufactures only get a slice.

@DannyWhite-e4p Treaties with the USA are only enforceable when ratified by the US Senate. Period. It was a promise made on Bush's behalf and Bush kept that promise. And Putin was not involved. Boris Yeltsin was Russia's President at that time.

@Kismail588 That wasn't the question. And it's "bogey" man not "boogie" man. Does that make the question easier for you to answer properly?

@ghteo9766 The US does not try to control EU countries. You're crazy. The US and EU have certain parties that collaborate and they place "international solidarity" above their national oaths of office. It's just that simple. And the origin of the problems with Russia really only go back to Hillary Clinton and Obama who had a plan for the Middle East dominated by Iran. They expected Russia to play along but Clinton and her underlings, her cult, did some insane things that are way too complicated to get in to here. Basically, along with sponsoring designated terrorists organizations they also inadvertently empowered the CCP to dominate Europe. Russia is in Europe too. Russia does not fear "NATO" but European countries near its border that align themselves with the CCP. Russia is already surrounded by China. Not completely, but Putin understands the trend. And since I mentioned this problem the US was in Ukraine to promote Ukrainian leftists, and those leftists want to be aligned with the CCP. So it is largely our fault and the number one problem with Hillary Clinton alongside Obama's delusional schemes driven by some of his administrations Iranian Marxists. Marxists no longer trust Putin.

@Peace.Please144 There's nothing wrong with it. The problem is when "NATO" or one of the protected nations makes trouble knowing that if they provoke an attack that the US is supposed to defend them. A lot of Euroloon politicians and NGOs and so forth are really what is destroying things today, in collusion with the US Democratic Party. The US (under Trump or any other savvy US President, and Trump is only the second in the past 100 years or more) should not expand NATO and NATO members should be encouraged to open up bilateral treaties with Russia and each other. Instead they have the EU to make a socialist economic cartel and they have "NATO" to threaten Russia with so that they don't individually have to do much to ensure the security of their own nations. That's not really what it means to have a sovereign nation. The whole thing is an embarrassment to what used to be called "Western Civilization". And BTW, at least 90% of all wars since WWII are proxy wars for Communist expansionism. Iran is a special case because they are playing the same game but they're trying to be the master regime by outplaying the Communists. First Russia and now China. But these are all proxy wars. Even Ukraine is about Russia being pissed off at US interference in Ukrainian electoral politics (not to mention elsewhere) but the reason this is dangerous to Russia is because China is offering to come in and help Ukrainian leftists align that country with China's economic imperialism. It's a joke that NATO members are allowed to join Belt and Road. So you guys don't even begin to understand what is really happening here and what the risks are to "world peace".

EU nations are the worst kinds of "democracies" I've ever heard of. And the US Democratic Party wants to be like France and Germany.
