I don't get to tell you what gets your goat. I understand that the context matters, but whether it does to you is a matter of personal judgement.

The superpowers spent decades competing intensely, including in proxy wars all over the globe. The desire on our part to just be willing to watch them fail was real, the willingness to stick our necks out to help them wasn't. Presented with the opportunity to get an outright "win" by reuniting Germany, I can understand US diplomats brushing Soviet security concerns under the rug. When you're just trying to get them to come to the negotiating table, you might be willing to say things you're not authorized to say, because people higher than you make those calls.


So delegates can say "assurances" and they don't have to mean anything. Got it.

Also, in the kinds of situations you describe, people saying things they are not authorized to say is an incredibly serious matter. I don't think they should have been allowed to do that at all. It's almost a matter of national security.

WHY were weapons installed on Russia's border? WHY? that is the question. just for fun? because that's the 1 sided story you're telling.


Because US, EU and NATO love expanding their sphere of influence

No one need your pro-putin-trump propaganda. You have to take a side and you have to bring proofs. Where is the treaty ?

Actually you got nothing else than you bad faith, cut video and denial that he later said;

"The topic of “NATO EXPANSION” was NOT discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility."

Tell me, why do you side with Putin ? Only because "nato did not respect its promises" ? Or maybe because you love "strong men" like Putin ? Hmm ?


Fuck off with your "Putin Trump" agenda. The fact that you have to drag in Trump speaks volumes.

It's well known and indisputable that Russia was promised security guarantees and now feel betrayed and played by NATO and the West. The result is that they no longer trust us, which part do you not understand???

Gorbachev has spoken out on video against what the West did after all the negotiations and pulling out of Eastern Eu, WTF are you claiming, that it's a fake or something? Again, do you even understand what's going on, what the problem is???

I am NOT siding with Putin I am pointing out what has caused this conflict and if you remember I've been saying this for months, back when Russia was still trying to solve the issue by negotiations. I am against war with a country that possesses 6K nukes, only dumb shits like you are pro war. You have nothing to say in their country, why would you want to police them, they don't want your wokeness you can fuck off now.

I knew you're a huge POS already, thx for proving it once again.

While this is accurate. All medical supplies involving plastics also use oil and have no alternative.

The domestic oil production would easily be sufficient to cover industrial use, it's only when fuel and power generation from oil enter the equation that things don't add up anymore without imports.

This is false. We were completely domestic in 2020. Look up shit before you post it, you moron.

Thank you, once again, for proving that you understand absolutely nothing about the situation, the context, that you have no historical knowledge or even of history. The only Frenchman in the forum who speaks on PaRD is the one with the lowest IQ. A disaster for our image on D2jsp

2020 was an anomaly due to the pandemic which let the bottom fall out of the commodity markets. As recently as 2019, the U.S. was still a net importer:

That's a more than decade long downward trend. High oil prices assure that oil production in the Bakken formation is economically feasible and will only continue this trend.
