Total disregard for the facts marshalled togther by the author - but out spews abusive language. Shame on you. This is not how to conduct yourself in civilised discourse. Try responding to the facts - of the promises made as quoted by the author, for example, Douglas Hurd,'There are no plans to include the countries of Eastern and Central Europe in NATO'.

It is intellectual dishonesty to muddy the waters of discourse, as you do by your nonsensical and irrelevant claim, that the author does not understand the process of joining NATO.
