Anyone remember James Bakers promise to Gorbachev, that Nato would not advance to the east. I.E.-Turning to German unification, Baker assures Gorbachev that “neither the president nor I intend to extract any unilateral advantages from the processes that are taking place, ” and that the Americans understand the importance for the USSR and Europe of guarantees that “not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.” Baker argues in favor of the Two-Plus-Four talks using the same assurance: “We believe that consultations and discussions within the framework of the ‘two+four’ mechanism should guarantee that Germany’s unification will not lead to NATO’s military organization spreading to the east.” Gorbachev responds by quoting Polish President Wojciech Jaruzelski: “that the presence of American and Soviet troops in Europe is an element of stability.”

"Clarifies" suggests there was at least some level of clarity in the first place.

I’d rather have mean tweets than WWIII but that’s just me.

A quick reaction from the Americans?? Absoutely !! In case of crossing the border .... Hasty departure of all US troops, if possible, at night, without warning the "allies" and leaving as much material as possible on the spot .... As in vietnam, and recently, in afghanistan .... I hope they will think about putting grease or oil on the landing gear of their planes so that there are no Ukrainians who try to hang on to it.... 😂😂😂
