NATO's Stoltenberg Admits that Expansion Led to Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Ukraine is mainly flat farmland and has been used by Napoleon, Imperial Germany, and Nazi Germany to stage attacks under Moscow’s soft underbelly

Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO secretary-general, gave some of the history that led up to Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine—notably his alliance’s decision to continue its march eastward.
Stoltenberg, who has emerged as a top war hawk from the West, addressed EU Parliament officials earlier this month and recalled the autumn of 2021, when Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted a draft treaty asking the alliance to stop its enlargement. Putin’s hope was that NATO leadership would sign the agreement.
For decades, Russia has seen the expansion of NATO as a threat and Ukraine’s membership its ultimate red line.
William Burns, the current CIA director, once served as ambassador to Russia. In 2008, he called Ukraine’s entry into NATO “the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests… I can conceive of no grand package that would allow the Russians to swallow this pill quietly.”
Stoltenberg called the draft treaty a “precondition” from Russia that promised it would not invade Ukraine if signed.
“Of course, we didn’t sign that,” he said, according to AntiWar.com.
Stoltenberg seemed to take something of a victory lap and said Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine, led to even more NATO enlargement.
“So he [Putin] went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders,” he said. “He has got the exact opposite. He has got more NATO presence in the eastern part of the alliance and he has also seen that Finland has already joined the alliance and Sweden will soon be a full member.” (Sweden’s membership has been held up by Hungary and Turkey.) ‘
The AntiWar article noted that Stotlenberg’s analysis is a complete contradiction to the U.S.’s claim that Russia’s invasion was “unprovoked.”
TRENDPOST: John Mearsheimer, a distinguished professor in political science at the University of Chicago, and Sebastian Rosato, the professor of political science at Notre Dame, penned a column last week titled, “The Russian Invasion Was a Rational Act.”
They noted how—in the early days of the invasion—Putin was described as a madman. They quoted Nina Khruschcheva, a Russia expert, who said, “with his unprovoked assault, Mr. Putin joins a long line of irrational tyrants.”
Part of the reason that many in the West considered Putin irrational, was the thought that he would be unable to emerge victorious from the conflict. But the two scholars note that rationality “is not about outcomes. Rational actors often fail to achieve their goals, not because of foolish thinking but because of factors they can neither anticipate nor control.”
But they wrote that Putin’s concerns about Ukraine is not a “lone wolf” theory.
It is shared in Russia—and understood by some in the West, like William Burns, the current CIA director who once served as ambassador to Russia. In 2008, he called Ukraine’s entry into NATO the “the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests… I can conceive of no grand package that would allow the Russians to swallow this pill quietly.”
Ukraine is mainly flat farmland and has been used by Napoleon, Imperial Germany, and Nazi Germany to stage attacks under Moscow’s soft underbelly.
Thomas Friedman, The New York Times columnist, wrote an article back in May 1998—the year Poland became a member of the alliance—that included a quote from George Kennan, a diplomat credited for his strategy of U.S. Cold War containment:
“I think this is the beginning of a new Cold War. I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake. There was no reason for this whatsoever. No one was threatening anybody else. Of course, there’s going to be a bad reaction from Russia and then [NATO expanders] will say that we always told you that is how the Russians are—but that is just wrong.”
He wrote that Russia, in turn, will turn to countries like Iran and China to counter the development. Kennan wrote in his diary that NATO expansion was the “greatest mistake of the entire post-Cold War period” and called it a “colossal blunder.”
His warning did not stop Warsaw, the Czech Republic, and Hungary from being added to the Alliance in 1999 and then countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Romania in 2004.
TRENDPOST: Former Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev was promised back in 1989 that NATO would not reach farther east than the German border, but that has proven to be a lie and there are now NATO missiles 100 miles from the Russian border in Poland.
Chris Hedges, the independent journalist, wrote that there was a brief time of hope that the world could spend money on social projects instead of the massive military complex, but that proved to be wishful thinking.
The war industry acted fast to urge countries like Poland, Hungary, and Latvia to join the alliance to reap the benefits of having to militarize these countries to meet NATO’s standards. Hedges wrote that many of these smaller countries took out monster loans in their efforts.
He said NATO’s expansion was swift, Russia became the enemy again, and now there is a NATO missile system in a base in Poland 100 miles from the Russian border.
“War, after all, it’s a business, a very lucrative one. It is why we spent two decades in Afghanistan although there was universal consensus after a few years of fruitless fighting that we had waded into the quagmire we could never win,” he wrote.
He also pointed to the Clinton administration’s promise in 1997 to Moscow that no combat troops would be stationed in Eastern Europe, but he wrote that the promise turned out to be a lie.
TRENDPOST: Long forgotten was the U.S. and NATO’S pledge not to expand into Eastern Europe following the deal made during the 1990 negotiations between the West and the Soviet Union over German unification.
Therefore, in the view of Russia, it is taking self-defense actions to protect itself from NATO’s eastward march.
As detailed in The Los Angeles Times back in May of 2016, while the U.S. and NATO deny that no such agreement was struck, “…hundreds of memos, meeting minutes and transcripts from U.S. archives indicate otherwise.” The article states:
“According to transcripts of meetings in Moscow on Feb. 9, then-Secretary of State James Baker suggested that in exchange for cooperation with Germany, the U.S. could make ‘iron-clad guarantees’ that NATO would not expand ‘one inch eastward.’ Less than a week later, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to begin reunification talks.
“No formal deal was struck, but from all the evidence, the quid pro quo was clear: Gorbachev acceded to Germany’s western alignment and the U.S. would limit NATO’s expansion.”

Here is the big Question... the Elephant with the Legendary Pink Dots in the room...
Stoltenberg is a Freemason!
All of the Players on the TV Screen are Jewish Crisis Actors... switch them off.
All they do is steal your money and Lie.
Switch them off.
The Money is controlled by a private Group of Jews... switch them off.
WEF WHO IMF ADL... all Jewish Crisis actors... switch them off.
Reject Authority... Bring down the Government.
Step 1: Abolish the Government
Until all traitors have been Isolated taken and punished there shall be no vote.
Until we make sure that all future Governments are held accountable for their actions there shall be no vote.
The System must be in such a way that it serves the people as it should be.
All in power who mislead us must be hanged for treason.
https://fritzfreud.substack.com/p/declaration-of-no-confidence-in-my
Step 2: Abolish the Fed & the IMF & all Private Banks
The Federal Reserve and all private Banks are thieves.
We own them nothing.
We must take back the Money supply and control over the Money so that it serves the people.
Everything any Banker owns must be taken from them and they must be hanged.
Starting with the Rotschilds and the Rockefellers.
Step 3: Take Back the Land
Bill Gates Mark Zuckerberg and all the others who stole the Land must be punished accordingly.
They want to poison all of Humanity as a part of their depopulation Program.
Therefore they have seized the right to exist.
We must ensure that this land is taken back and given to those who produce Food to the best Quality so that no Harm comes to Humanity.
Those who grow food are responsible and we must give responsibility to them
Step 4: Hang every WEF Member
The WEF is a Terrorist Organization.
The WEF can be prosecuted under the RICO ACT
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act aka Organized Crime Control Act of 1970
The WEF is essentially that: a Criminal Terrorist Organization which falls under the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970
Essentially it is a Mafia which controls the CIA FBI INTERPOL Politics Media and Banks.
Using the Rico act we can legally arrest them all.

Step 5: Free Education for Life
Every person has the right to be educated to the best of their abilities.
Only if we the people educate ourselves to the best of our talents we can ensure that such totalitarian Authoritarianism does not rise no more.
Instead of fighting one another we must help one another.
Only together we solve problems, problems that have been arisen because we lack the education that was denied to us by an Authoritarian elite which is passed its sell by date.
Knowledge is power.
Free education for Life is Power to the People.
Step 6: Energy from Water
All the needs of Energy can be harnessed from water without pollution.
As a result the Health of every Citizen will benefit.
As a result no one has to pay for Energy costs.
As a result most problems that are now will vanish and those who remain can be eradicated by mutual cooperation.
There are no problems... there are only Solutions.
Step 7: End the war in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine is by design a Forever war.
The aim is neither for Ukraine to win nor for Russia to lose.
The Aim is WWIII to install a totalitarian one World Government.
End this War today, give Russia the Land it has and make peace!
https://fritzfreud.substack.com/p/elon-musk-and-the-forever-war
Step 8: Individual Human Rights
Every person is an Individual that must not be subject to either Cooperate Interests nor Government Authority.
In fact every Citizen must have the absolute right to stand up against Government Brutality.
This also is the right to have arms in his house against Government thugs.
We are Humans that make the right choices when we need them... but only if we are educated to the best of our abilities.
That must be ensured.
Step 9: Absolute uncensored Freedom of Speech and Internet
This censorship Madness must stop.
Especially when by closer look we are censored by liars pedophiles and Criminals
Those who protect their own.
Therefore any censorship must stop now.
The Government pushes Fascism AI and digitization for one reason only: WORLD GOVERNMENT!
This MUST NOT be allowed.
All of their actions are in line with this.
