Look at this article, all those who call Russia an aggressor.
All my articles can be found at this link:
Hello comrades. I am Russian and I live in Russia. If you want to meet me and become my friend, let's do it.
Look, I will literally change your understanding of what is happening with just one fact and make all Western propaganda regarding the demonization of Russia meaningless.
The fact is the following: the USSR, and then Russia, made several attempts to join NATO.
That's all.
Putin V.V., 2001 (joint press conference with Bush):
I will now read to you a recently declassified...actually, this was in the press a long time ago, the accompanying documents were secret at the time. It says: a copy has been declassified, but it was top secret.
This is a note from the Soviet government from 1954, sent to NATO member countries.
The following is written here:
"Guided by the unchanging principles of its peaceful foreign policy and striving to reduce tension in international relations, the Soviet government expresses its readiness to consider, together with interested governments, the question of the USSR's participation in the North Atlantic Treaty."
And here is the answer:
"Such and such proposals were accompanied by the expansion of the Atlantic Pact by the Soviet Union's accession to the North Atlantic Treaty. There is no need to emphasize the completely unrealistic nature of such a proposal."
This is the answer.
About a year ago, I answered a question about whether it was possible for Russia to somehow join NATO.
I said: "Why not?"
And immediately the former US Secretary of State, Ms. M. Albright, said: "Well, that's not being discussed now."
Now some basic logic.
If the US and its vassals had responded to the proposal, there would be no war now.
There would be no:
❌ Cold War,
❌ Arms Race,
❌ Crazy Weapons Spending,
❌ Nuclear Crises That Almost Contributed to the Destruction of the Earth, etc.
This information gives a detailed answer to who needs war.
If Russia were accepted into NATO, it would accept the rules of the alliance. Formally, as during the Second World War, the USSR and the USA would be allies, and would resolve disputes, so to speak, in a friendly manner.
But, no, friends, no one wanted or wants to see the USSR and Russia as partners.
❓ Why?
⚠️ Because in that case the Anglo-Saxons would not have a major enemy that they could demonize and use to frighten their electorate and Europeans.
➡️ In the first case, by intimidating its population, the US manages to spend trillions of dollars on weapons.
➡️ In the second case, under the guise of protecting its allies, the Europeans, the US occupies their territories.

❓ What is NATO expansion?
⚠️ It is the occupation of territory in a military sense. And what is the point of expansion if there is no enemy?
Here is the answer to the question - who needs wars and why?
❓ And here let's take a closer look at what NATO is?
❓ Why is it needed?
❓ How did Stalin and Putin want to join NATO?
❓ And how did they recruit Nazis instead of communists into NATO?
⛔️ Today, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is the largest military force - it has concentrated up to 80% of the world's military power in its hands.
⛔️ The size of the NATO army is 3.36 million people
⛔️ of 32 member countries,
⛔️ which spend more than a trillion dollars on military expenses.
⛔️ The Alliance was created as a defensive union based on democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
⛔️ But it has never protected anyone.
*Libya, Yugoslavia, the Middle East - wherever NATO troops are present, states disintegrate, wars and deaths begin.
⛔️ Over the past 30 years, NATO has carried out 23 military operations against other countries.
⛔️ Millions of civilians have fallen victim (to the war).
⛔️ Between 38 and 60 million people have been forced to flee their homes.
⛔️ Damage to the environment and infrastructure exceeds several trillion dollars.
⛔️ $542 billion worth of bombs were dropped in Yugoslavia alone.
CREATION OF NATO
The starting point is considered to be 1946, when former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivered the famous Fulton speech.
Churchill's Fulton Speech
In this speech, he acknowledged the leading role of the new hegemon – the USA, and also scared Europe with the "iron curtain":
"From Stettin to Trieste, across the entire continent, an "iron curtain" was lowered. Behind this line are all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe, which fell into the sphere of Soviet influence and high control from Moscow."
Also in this speech, he emphasized that the entire English-speaking world is obliged to fight the red threat.
*By the way, the phrase "iron curtain", which would eventually stick to the policy of the Soviet Union, Churchill borrowed from Joseph Goebbels, one of the ideologists of Nazism.
The USSR's position was simple - it was creating a buffer of friendly states in Europe that would prevent a sudden attack on the country. Moscow did not want a repeat of June 1941, or other wars that were coming from the West. The Soviet Union was in ruins, and a lot of effort was needed to restore it.
⛔️ The allies of the anti-fascist coalition were doing something similar in Western Europe.
⛔️ In France, intelligence was fabricating documents about a communist conspiracy being prepared.
⛔️ In Italy, the communists were being crushed in the elections.
⛔️ Then the United States adopted the Marshall Plan and allocated $13 billion to restore 17 European countries after the war.
⛔️ In return, Washington demanded:
➡ remove all communists from power,
➡ abandon the principles of free trade and
➡ tie their imports and exports to the United States.
As a result, Europe split: the eastern part was pro-Soviet, and the western part was pro-American.
The Warsaw Pact (Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance), signed on May 14, 1955, included eight countries: Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, the GDR, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia and the creator of this union - the USSR, with its control center in Moscow.
n 1947, American President Harry Truman said that America would do everything possible to contain the USSR, while democratic regimes, on the contrary, would be supported and saved from communism.
Simply put, he decided to secure the right of the United States to interfere in the affairs of the entire world.
Thus, the “Truman Doctrine” obliged America to pursue a policy of
❌ wars,
❌ interventions and
❌ gigantic military budgets.
All this continues to this day.
Plus, the West could not calm down and developed plans for a total war with the USSR.
⚠️ What is “Dropshot” (
Operation Dropshot - Wikipedia ) worth, according to which they were going to drop 300 nuclear bombs and 29 thousand high-explosive bombs on 100 Soviet cities!
The NATO bloc was formed on the “Truman Doctrine” - April 4, 1949. Allegedly, as a peaceful and defensive alliance against external aggression. Naturally, this meant the aggression of the USSR.
And look, friends, in the same year, Moscow offered the British government to participate in the creation of NATO. But NATO refused Moscow.
After this refusal, Joseph Stalin called the alliance “an undermining of the UN.” Which, in fact, was the case.
That is, this means that the creation of NATO is an undermining of real international law.
Initially, it included 12 countries.
* In general, the United States could not enter into military alliances if they were not at war themselves. But for the sake of such a matter, they adopted the “Vandenberg Resolution,” which allowed
➡ to conclude treaties in peacetime,
➡ and to place military bases in other countries.
Which the United States began to actively do.
Today, they control more than 900 bases and spend about $100 billion a year on them.
The anti-Soviet nature of the Treaty was, in fact, not hidden either then or now. The first NATO Secretary General Ismay Hastings formulated the organization's goal quite simply: "To keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in, and the Germans in a subordinate position."
▶️ On the one hand, the NATO Charter is for the peaceful resolution of disputes.
▶️ On the other hand, according to Article 5, an attack on one NATO country is an act of aggression against all. And each member of the alliance must come to its defense.
But due to the vagueness of the wording, a number of participants, including the United States, may consider an attack a potential threat to their military bases.
Considering that there are more than 900 such bases, it turns out that NATO is responsible for the entire world.
NATO bases on the world map
In this way, the alliance ascribes to itself the function of ensuring global security, and this contradicts the foundations of the UN international order.
*By the way, Article 5 of the NATO charter was used once - after the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. Then NATO troops entered Afghanistan. True, they left 20 years later, abandoning their allies, without defeating the Taliban.
Now another important fact.
When Turkey and Greece were included in NATO in 1952, once again declaring the peaceful nature of the organization, Stalin grinned and said: “Shouldn’t we join NATO then?”
And indeed, in 1954, the USSR officially asked to join the alliance.
Moreover, as part of a peace project, it wanted to unite West and East Germany on the condition of its constitutional neutrality.
For modern Germans, this was a shock, since until the destruction of the Berlin Wall, they believed that only the Soviet Union was responsible for the division of Germany.
But the West refused. Allegedly, the participation of the USSR was incompatible with the democratic goals of the alliance.
Although Portugal, where the dictatorship flourished for almost 50 years, did not stop it from becoming one of the founders.
And, in order not to lose face, NATO put forward conditions that Moscow could not accept:
⛔️ namely, a certain capitulation in the Cold War,
⛔️ withdrawal of troops from Germany and Austria,
⛔️ abandonment of military bases in the Far East and
⛔️ limitation of weapons.
In general, it is unlikely that the Soviet Union seriously believed that it would be happily accepted into the alliance. Most likely, it wanted to clearly demonstrate that talk of a peaceful NATO was worth nothing, and that the alliance itself was hostile to the USSR.
That is, the Anglo-Saxons refused negotiations and peaceful coexistence from the very beginning.
Look what happened.
The Anglo-Saxons say:
"We are building, supposedly, a defensive alliance against the USSR."
The USSR says: "We are not going to attack anyone. Let us even join NATO ourselves."
The Anglo-Saxons were taken aback and naturally refused - against whom then will we be friends and intimidate the population - with whom?
And think about how truly peace-loving the USSR was: in order to avoid this confrontation, a possible future war, it went for unification with its enemy.
In 1955, just 10 years after the victory over fascism, the FRG was accepted into NATO.
That is, the USA and its vassals immediately began to create a military bloc against the USSR after the end of World War II.
The States refused all calls from the USSR for peaceful coexistence.
Therefore, in response to their aggression, the USSR and the socialist countries had to create their own military bloc - the Warsaw Pact Organization for Peace and Security in Europe.
That is, the Soviet alliance, no matter how you look at it, was only a response to the actions of the West.
An interesting fact about NATO. This organization positioned and positions itself as a white and fluffy defender of democracy, Western values and, in general, everything good. Well, just an angel keeping peace on Earth.
But nevertheless, the Western average person is not told whose services this bloc used.
⛔️ The most striking example is the Nazi Lieutenant General Reinhard Gehlen, who fought against the USSR and formally against the United States of America.
Reinhard Gehlen - Nazi Lieutenant General
In 1945, the general surrendered to the US Army. But before that, he hid secret documents: the developments of German military intelligence, data, an agent network and other valuable information. The cunning general believed that the Americans would give a good price for this.
And so it happened. As a result, Gehlen was tasked with organizing a department that would deal with purely Russian issues.
So in 1946, Gelenorg appeared. And instead of one Russian department, two worked in the West: one in the US - the CIA, the second - in the FRG, the Gehlen Organization.
Both pursued the same goal: the destruction of communism as an ideology and the weakening of the USSR as a state.
Later, by the way, Gelenorg was transformed into the Federal Intelligence Service of Germany, BND, which is still functioning.
By the beginning of the 50s, more than 4 thousand officers of the former Wehrmacht and SS served under Gehlen's command.
