Assertion Supported

Sacks: US broke 1990 pledge to Gorbachev not to expand NATO eastward

“Baker made the promise to Gorbachev, not one inch eastward. Gorbachev said, yes, ok, they can reunify, but we do not want NATO moving up to our border. Baker made that promise. We have brought NATO up to their border.”

Sep 10, 2022 negative

Assertion Partly supported

Sacks: NATO expansion contradicted U.S. assurances given to Mikhail Gorbachev

“This was basically a contradiction of the verbal assurances that James Baker and President George Herbert Walker Bush had given Gorbachev that we would not expand NATO one inch eastward.”
