Armageddon Is Closer Than You Think

• https://www.paulcraigroberts.org by Paul Craig Rob

For years I and Stephen Cohen, while he was still alive,  advised that Washington's provocations of Russia, including those of its NATO puppet states, were misguided and counter-productive.  Even prior to the fall of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev was open for the Soviet Union to become a cooperating member of the West.  The Russian population had a favorable attitude toward the West and looked forward to Russia's incorporation into the Western world.

The Reagan administration and Reagan's successor, the George H. W. Bush administration were open to this idea.  President Bush's Secretary of State Jim Baker affirmed that he promised there would be no movement of NATO east to Soviet borders if Gorbachev permitted the reunification of Germany, which set the stage for the freedom of the Soviet Union's Eastern European empire.
