U.S.officials and their British allies used the NATO Foreign Ministers meeting in Latvia to whip up war-time hysteria against Russia, relying on a fabricated narrative of a Russian military buildup in Ukraine to issue threats. Repeated bleating about "violations of the Rules-Based Order" may sound sweet to members of the Military-Industrial Complex, and resonate with Ukraine's corrupt oligarchs, but only serve to convince Russian leaders that they need to be prepared to defend their nation. Putin asked for a written agreement of promises made in 1990 of no eastward expansion of NATO. Chatham House lies that it is a "myth" that such promises were made, despite documentary evidence confirming the pledge. Will we allow them to lie us into a devastating World War III?
