So it doesn't matter what some US official might have said to anyone about "NATO expansion". If it hasn't gone through the proper processes, it isn't a binding.
Second, the US doesn't have authority over NATO. Membership status is equal. So the US can't make promises on behalf of NATO. 2/2
People who tout the supposed "promise" of James Baker, George HW Bush, or any other US official that NATO wouldn't "expand" neither understand the United States nor NATO.
First, the US isn't a dictatorship in which the President can unilaterally make binding agreements on behalf of the nation. 1/2
Too many people talk about "peace" - in the sense the lack of armed conflict - as an absolute good. They are in agreement with aggressors and dictators, for whom that kind of "peace" means the absence of resistance to their control.
Worthwhile peace requires freedom, dignity, and human rights.

We saw the people preparing resistance in the early days - digging trenches, building barriers, assembling molotovs - when things were at their most dire. Our aid didn't create the Ukrainian fighting spirit. Our aid is protecting the lives of the people who already have that spirit. (2/2)
People who think that UA can have its policies dictated by a foreign power if aid is withheld don't understand UA. They neglect the early days of the war, when we saw the spirit of Ukrainian resistance. UA didn't expect much aid initially, but they still fought with whatever they had. (1/2)
