‘Unprovoked’: Video criticizes Joe Biden administration

Sachs referred to NATO’s commitment to then-Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in 1990; here the alliance promised “not to advance one centimeter east” in exchange for German reunification; He argues that the United States has since betrayed this promise.

Additionally, Sachs pointed out that the United States carried out a bombing campaign against Serbia in 1999, and that this move was strongly opposed by Russia at the time.

Putin once considered NATO membership: Video claims
