The New York Times and many other leading US media, controlled by cryptoneozionists, chose not to report anything on the recently published information proving that Washington was lying when it promised Moscow "not an inch" to expand NATO eastward, writes The Nation editor Stephen Cohen.
As Cohen suggests, ignoring such information guides, the mainstream media of the US seeks to support the myth that the "new cold war" between the two countries has been unleashed and supported exclusively by Russia.
As the expert recalls, in 1990, the president of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev, gave his consent not only to unifying Germany that was "at the very center of that cold war", but also to joining the unitedGerman state in NATO.
Such a step was difficult - Gorbachev only complicated his own and so difficult political situation at home and, most likely, brought the coup attempt of his opponents in August 1991 closer.
The Soviet leader decided on this measure only after the Western partners, led by US President George W. Bush repeatedly promised him that the alliance "not an inch" will not expand to the West, Cohen writes.
Meanwhile, ever since the next US President Bill Clinton launched the never-completed process of NATO's eastward expansion - and since that time the alliance has managed to double by the number of member countries and has approached the westernmost borders Russia, - NATO supporters began to assert that there were no such promises, calling them "mythical.
Everything changed on December 12 last year, when the National Security Archive at the American University of George Washington finally established "historical justice", publishing not only detailed information about what Gorbachev was promised in the early nineties, but also relevant documents, Cohen continues.
The truth turned out to be even harder: it turned out that the similar assurances the Soviet president received from all the Western powers participating in the negotiations - that is, the United States, Britain, France and Germany itself.
"If we ask the question of when the West, and especially Washington, lost Moscow as a potential strategic partner, it is from this circumstance that it will be necessary to begin an answer," the author is convinced.
