The War in Ukraine

In 1990, Gorbachev said he was going to disband the Warsaw Pact military alliance. James Baker III and Hans Dietrich Dencher jumped in: We promise NATO won't move one inch eastward. By 1992, when the Soviet Union was no more, Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld started planning NATO enlargement. In 2004 under George W. Bush, Jr., seven more countries right up to Russia's border were added. Putin gives a famous speech in 2007 saying would you stop it? This is a threat to our core national security. Do not move any closer.
