In short, yes. Guarantees were given several times. But NATO lied. Shocker, I know.

Russia also signed up to protect the integrity of Ukraine's boarders.

Did the US keep putting missiles ever closer to Russia? Did Russia tell the US to back the fuck up for over a decade?

Even within the article itself, this doesn't remotely hold water. The first several paragraphs tell a basic story: Agreements were made not to expand eastward. But then, oh, things changed, and so we expanded eastward.

Sorry, guys. There is not another way of saying that which makes it different than you broke your agreements. You lied. This is not "spinnable".

And by the way, you have lied about so many fucking things at this point that the pattern is beyond doubt. You have lied about anything and everything in the MENA region. Look at Afghanistan; that's just the middle of last year!

Russia invading Ukraine is not productive. I'm not in favor of it. But Davos has ZERO credibility to offer a "good" alternative. ZERO.
