Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: What are we doing trying to push NATO to Ukraine and to Georgia?

I'll tell you what we're doing.

We're doing what Lord Palmerston tried to do in 1853 in the Crimean War, which was to surround Russia and banish Russia from the Black Sea.

Don't go to provoke.

Don't think you run the world.

Don't expand NATO eastward to Russia's border, for God's sake, after you have said repeatedly, explicitly, not ambiguously, to President Gorbachev and to other Soviet and Russian leaders, that NATO would not move one inch eastward. And if you think it's a myth, go to the National Security archive of George Washington University and pull out the dozens of documents or the clips of Hans Dietrich Genscher saying explicitly, "This doesn't refer to a promise within Germany. This is, in general we're not going to move eastward."
