George Washington U’s National Security Archive 2017: NATO Expansion: What Gorbachev Heard U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.

Oh no! So you want to talk about how the mutual self defence pact is somehow oppressing you or will you just keep dodging forever?

Reason: User threatens me not to report his alt accounts for misinformation again

What alt accounts? What are you even talking about? That’s two bullshit reports in one day, wasting our time.

Reason: Claimes NATO forces other nations into subservience.

Nato is as much a "mutual defense" pact as sea lions are lions. These guys bombed Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq and countless other nations. The members of Nato have repeatedly cooperated with each other, using the military networks built through the alliance to wage proxy wars, perform coups, destabilise regions of the world at a scale never before seen in human history.

You might as well call the axis a mutual defense alliance lmao.
