Wang Yi cautioned against a return to the ‘law of the jungle’ but stopped short of criticising Trump directly
War in the Middle East “should never have happened”, China’s foreign minister Wang Yi has declared, even as he struck a more conciliatory tone with the US ahead of a highly anticipated visit by Donald Trump.
Regime change, a key stated aim of the US president as the US and Israel continue to attack Iran, “will find no popular support”, Wang said on Sunday. “A strong fist does not mean strong reason. The world cannot return to the law of the jungle,” he added.
Speaking on the sidelines of China’s annual parliamentary and political gatherings, known as the Two Sessions, the country’s top diplomat and foreign affairs official notably avoided directly criticising the US.
USA did promise to gorbachev about not one inch to east tho? But NATO is just expanding and expanding
I am not justifying russia, what they did was stupid and evil but talk on facts
Nope, no such promise was ever part of any formal agreement between NATO/USA and Russia.
It would also be pretty moronic, since voluntary unification of Germany was always a goal for West Germany. Which would automatically move the NATO border east.
There was possibly a promise that East Germany would not be used by NATO forces, but that agreement had nothing to do with including new member countries.
Also that agreement wasn’t formal, and was definitely not meant to be binding long term.
This was said after unification of Germany
US ambassador to USSR Jack F Matlock also accepted this on TV
An ambassador simply can’t make such a promise, you are being ridiculous.
My guess is you are parroting Russian propaganda, because it sounds just like it.
As I CLEARLY stated earlier, there are no official agreements to anything like that.
If there were, you should point to that, instead of what some cleaning lady may have said, which is about as valid an international agreement as some diplomat saying something on TV.
I didnt said they made a promise, an ambassador however saying that on TV cant be disregarded either, I never claimed it was a valid assertion by russia I am just saying things like that were said at that time, it wasnt a written agreement so I guess they expanded.
