On Friday, the US and NATO rejected a Russian call for the military alliance to halt its eastward expansion.
Amid tensions around Ukraine, Russia submitted a series of security proposals to the US, and chief among the Russian requests is a guarantee that Ukraine won’t join NATO.
“NATO never promised not to admit new members; it could not and would not,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said after a virtual meeting of NATO’s foreign ministers.
NATO Secretary-General made similar comments earlier in the day. “We will not compromise on core principles, including the right for every nation to decide its own path, including what kind of security arrangements it wants to be a part of,” he said.
US and Russian officials are due to meet in Geneva on January 10th to discuss Ukraine and other issues, and NATO will hold talks with Moscow on January 12th. Blinken accused Russia of making unreasonable demands in an attempt to sabotage diplomacy.
“Certainly part of [Putin’s] playbook is to put out a list of absolutely non-starter demands and then to claim that the other side is not engaging and then use that as somehow justification for aggressive action,” Blinken said.
Ukraine has been a prospective NATO member since 2008 and cooperates with the alliance on military exercises. Ukraine’s ascent into NATO was never a concern when Viktor Yanukovych was president from 2010 to 2014. But after he was ousted in a US-backed coup, US and NATO cooperation with Ukraine has increased significantly.
Since the 2014 coup, the US has provided Ukraine with over $2 billion in military aid. US and NATO now regularly patrol the Black Sea, and Western warplanes are constantly flying in the area.

Blinkin is a blinkin idiot. A fundamental reason why Western diplomacy has failed for decades is that amatures are appointed to key powerful positions.
I real, advanced societies, diplomatic candidates are carefully chosen and are then schooled to a very high standard.
The world’s top diplomats, incliding those in the UK, were gobsmacked at the incompetency of Boris Johnson when he was Foreign Secretary.
The US, UK, & satellite NATO powers simply don’t care about the consideration of others. They have their doctrine, and that is it. Putin must do something to shock the Western sheeple. Invade Ukraine and put nuke based on the Western Ukraine border, put 1000 tanks on the Finnish border, I mean a few hundred meters from the border, put nukes on Cuba, or in Venezuela. I don’t know what forces Russia has in Kaliningrad, but maybe, whatever they have there, they should triple their forces in this enclave.
It is the politics of children who have an alpha complex and big guns.
“NATO Secretary-General made similar comments earlier in the day. “We will not compromise on core principles, including the right for every nation to decide its own path, including what kind of security arrangements it wants to be a part of,” he said.”

“Blinken accused Russia of making unreasonable demands in an attempt to sabotage diplomacy.”
Something Blinken knows all too well. He and his tribal buddies are professionals at sabotaging their host country by way of their Talmudic desires.
“Certainly part of [Putin’s] playbook is to put out a list of absolutely non-starter demands and then to claim that the other side is not engaging and then use that as somehow justification for aggressive action,” Blinken said.
Again, something this kike and his tribal buddies are most famous for.
The Jews are always willing to project their short comings on others while complaining they’re being persecuted.
Of course Putin is playing his part that will give us the JWO out of the current chaos

First, since lies, insults, demands and threats don’t rise to the level of “diplomacy” there is no such thing as “Western diplomacy.” Second, since there is no such thing as Western diplomacy, you don’t need skilled professionals in “key powerful positions” you merely need devil-worshiping, demon-possessed madmen, preferably jewish-supremacist madmen like blinkin.
Winkin’, blinkin’, and idiotic. Yeah, sure, NATO should never be limited in their imperialism. That wouldn’t be fair, after all. Bring on the warhawks. Money to be made. Ironic in that we are still stupidized by Israel, they only want to eat our lunch and watch us die. I wonder if their vaccine shots were saline and not toxic in composition. Would not surprise me a bit. Poor, poor Israel.
Stinkin Blinken is a LYING JEW. Americans, you have been scammed!
