As most compare Putin to Hitler, turn a blind eye to the U.S. sending cluster bombs to Zelenskyy the grifter, and witness the latest madness about Ukraine and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), please remember:
During the 1990 discussions to re-unify East and West Germany, the Western parties sought to defuse Moscow’s fears that a reunified state in the heart of Europe would present a threat to the Soviet Union.
Mikhail Gorbachev only accepted German reunification — over which the Soviet Union had a legal right to veto — because he received assurances that NATO would not expand after he withdrew his forces from Eastern Europe.
These assurances came from folks like President George H.W. Bush, West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the CIA Director Robert Gates, French President Francois Mitterrand, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, British Prime Minister John Major, and NATO secretary-general Manfred Woerner.
In February, Bush’s secretary of state, James Baker, assured his Soviet counterpart, Eduard Shevardnadze, that in a post-Cold War Europe NATO would no longer be belligerent —“less of a military organization, much more of a political one, would have no need for independent capability.”
Nonetheless, Baker promised Shevardnadze “iron-clad guarantees that NATO’s jurisdiction or forces would not move eastward”. On the same day in Moscow, he famously told the Soviet General Secretary that the alliance would not move “one inch to the east”.
The following day, February 10, 1990, Helmut Kohl, the future chancellor of a united Germany, repeated the same thought to Gorbachev, even as they disagreed on other issues. “We believe that NATO should not expand the sphere of its activity. We have to find a reasonable resolution. I correctly understand the security interests of the Soviet Union, and I realize that you, Mr. General Secretary, and the Soviet leadership will have to clearly explain what is happening to the Soviet people,” Kohl said.
The promises not to expand NATO only lasted until 1997, however, when Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary were invited into the alliance. In total, 13 Eastern European states have become NATO members since then.
Remember when this happened, in the name of public health [sic]?
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice quietly removed content on child sex trafficking from its website earlier this year.

Dude looks a like a lady?
It’s a form of reality collapse to incrementally discover that no one in power can be trusted and they’ve been lying to you about everything.
But it’s also a source of incredible self-empowerment.
In other words, each and every one of us is well-positioned to take part in creating the most important social changes ever imagined.
How lucky are we? We've been trusted with the most vital mission of all time: survival and redemption.
I just found out yesterday that in 2018 miss Spain was in fact a mister Spain. At least he look a little more like a woman. If you see the runner-up to the Dutch one it just raises your goose bumps. I think all these girls should have just gone home and let him stand there on his own.
How lucky are we Mickey Z? I never wanted to live through a Bond film with no 007 or a Get Smart episode without my 99.
We're waiting for a living breathing superhero to hold our hands and guide us to our redemption, without so much as raising a blister or two for our effort. That's because IT is too difficult. IT is Mission Impossible without Tom C, the A-Team without Mister T or the Avengers without M Appeal.
What is stopping the youth commanders, men 20 to 30 years of age, fit, bright and healthy? If you're my age you may have chuckled at Emma Peel's alter ego. Where are the regular heroes of our time? I am doing my part from a Canadian perspective to show you MY personal heroes.
Artur Pawlowski and son Nathaniel, Josh Alexander, James Topp the man who marched across Canada coast to coast with a rucksack on his back because of the tyrannical mandates being forced on military personal. And not even having a single corporate sponsorship offer for his preferred footwear. I think he must've went through about a dozen pairs. He left Vancouver before the convoy and arrived in Ottawa on June 30th, the newest Canadian holiday, James Topp Day. There are many more: Jeremy MacKenzie, Chris Deering, Chris Carbert, Chris Lysak, Anthony Olienick, Jerry Morin, Billboard Chris, Maxime Bernier and many others are modern unsung Canadian heroes.
Seek out your heroes and march with them to victory. This is the "most vital mission of all time: survival and redemption." Find yer frenz!
