closer to the Soviet border. I can still open my old notebook or play back an old tape to
recall what he said: “The allied forces will not be inching closer to your border.”

I’m sure that repeatedly reiterated pledge can still be found in President Bush’s ar-
chives and in the old files of the U.S Department of State because the then Secretary of
State, James Baker, also attended that meeting – and is still with us, which makes the
verification of what I say very easy.
The same kind of pledge was made by German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and British
Prime Minister John Major. But those political leaders prefer to keep mum now that
the pledge they made on behalf of their Cabinets and countries is brazenly reduced to
ashes.
The deployment of NATO forces in the immediate vicinity of Russia and the Pen-
tagon’s decision to station troops in Poland and the Czech Republic leave those highly
respected gentlemen unperturbed in the happy oblivion of one not unimportant prin-
ciple of international law – continuity of international commitments.
The arrival of NATO forces at the border of Russia translates into more than a threat
to the Russian Federation. Russia will find a way to meet this threat. The Ameri-
can super-hawks had better remember that Russia remains a powerful country
with impressive stocks of nuclear missiles.
