NATO's Expansion and the Roots of Conflict

This chapter examines the narrative of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, challenging the notion of it being 'unprovoked.' It explores over 170 years of historical context, U.S. foreign policy decisions, and NATO's expansion, which have significantly shaped the geopolitical landscape and U.S.-Russia relations. The analysis includes critiques of the military-industrial complex's influence on foreign interventions and highlights broken promises that have led to current tensions.
