While a US commitment that NATO would not expand towards Russia was made during talks with the Soviets in 1990, and remains a topic of heated dispute, no undertaking was written into the treaty on German reunification.
you misspelled Russian trolls.
Fact checking: Social media users are claiming the West broke a 1990 treaty undertaking not to expand the NATO security alliance closer to Russia’s borders. It's false.

Even if it was, that was the USSR, Not Russia. While the rest of the world has generally accepted Russia as taking over the USSR seat, Russia has been pulling back from former Soviet agreements lately.
The rest of the world should probably do the same across the board. For instance, as a compromise Russia can keep their UN Security Council seat, but they lose their veto. The seat and veto were for the USSR, not Russia.

Why should they keep their security council seat
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 8 months ago
They should straight up lose their seat, maybe Ukraine gets it lol

Bold of you to assume that Russia simps care about facts.

You know who did actually sign an agreement? Russia. Guaranteeing Ukrainian independence in exchange for them giving up their nukes.

And people actually die because of this.

Not only that, but if I were a non nuclear country banking on US help, I’d be strongly considering a nuclear program right now. Maybe I’m overreacting but this could be the most dangerous, globally destabilizing event in my lifetime. Both the decision of Russia to invade, and the political games in the US resulting in the withholding of aid.
But hey I’m not exactly all that knowledgeable when it comes to geopolitics so I’m probably wrong.
