US State Department: Washington Security Assurance Response Won't Address NATO Issues

38

The topic of Ukraine's entry into the North Atlantic Alliance concerns all its members. Therefore, Washington's written response on security assurances will not address issues relating to NATO as a whole.

This was announced at a briefing by US State Department spokesman Ned Price.

He said that the United States' response to Russian security proposals would not contain Washington's position on Ukraine's prospects for joining NATO. The US State Department believes that America cannot be responsible for the entire alliance.

At the same time, Ned Price recalled that the United States opposes the revision of NATO's open door principle.

It is expected that Moscow will receive a written American response this week. A State Department spokesman promised that as soon as this happened, journalists would be immediately notified. He also assured those present that there would be nothing unexpected in the document, because Washington intends to coordinate all its proposals in advance with allies, including Ukraine.

Earlier it was reported that the US State Department, after consulting with the Ukrainian authorities, decided to add the opinion of Kiev to its response.

As The Washington Post reported, US officials asked Moscow not to make public the contents of the American response.

          US representatives turned to Moscow with a request not to make public the contents of the American response.

          Such a request by the United States means only one thing, that subsequently the United States, with such a written response hidden from the world community, in principle, can always declare that
          1) either there has never been any OFFICIAL response from the USA to Russia at all;
          2) either as well as completely in words to abandon the true meaning of its content.

          In addition, such a presentation of the case allows the United States to play for time with an allegedly OFFICIAL US response to Russia, and at this time hastily continue to pump weapons to Ukraine directly or through NATO countries.

          All this allows the United States, as the American side of the military PROCA conflict in Ukraine, to escape in the world from criminal "responsibility" in organizing and instigating by Washington both a local war in Europe and TMV.

              According to your link about Ukraine, there is absolutely nothing concrete in terms of the content of the US response to Russia.
              But on the content of the US response to Russia can be seen from the content NATO's response to Russia, which copies the US response. Namely.

              NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg suggested to Russia:
              1. "to resume the work of NATO missions."
              2. NATO/Pentagon/USA not going to compromise on the fundamentals, including an open door policy.
              3. NATO proposes to discuss with Russia the issues of disarmament, transparency, deployment of missiles, arms control, non-proliferation.
              4. Also offered establish a direct CIVIL line of communication under the flag and symbols of the European Union and in Brussels.

                      NATO and the US State Department simultaneously sent Russia a response to the security guarantees, asking them not to disclose the contents.

The Russian factor could be used to create an unfavorable situation in the Baltics, in order to counteract NATA, but silence and conciliation led to a situation where NATA modernized the entire Soviet military infrastructure in the region, added its own, equipped airfields to receive ALL types of aircraft and now deploy strike systems, which will be aimed at the entire North-West from St. Petersburg to Moscow, a matter of several days.
              As a result, "hemorrhoids" will be prohibitive.
