The invitation of countries to NATO began contrary to the agreement that was between the former American leader George W. Bush and General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Mikhail Gorbachev.

In accordance with it, the States refused to expand the North Atlantic Alliance to the east in exchange for the entry of a united Germany into NATO.

“George Bush Sr. kept his promise, in the early years his successor Bill Clinton also followed him, but in the mid-1990s he began to say the opposite.

In 1997, Clinton broke his promise and invited the Visegrad Group to join NATO.

His successor, George W. Bush, opened the doors to everyone, inviting even Ukraine into the alliance, ”RIA Novosti quotes Chomsky.

The historian shared his opinion that Clinton was deceiving Yeltsin, explaining the invitations of states to participate in the union with pre-election campaigning and the desire to win the US presidential election.
