THE EXPANSIONISM OF NATO

NATO was not born with the aim of expanding its territory and therefore constituting a political-military alliance in a constant process of growth. NATO emerged to confront the communist countries that formed the Warsaw Pact, this one of marked military origin, within the framework of the difficult years of the cold war.
When the Warsaw Pact was dissolved in July 1991, many politicians on both sides of the Iron Curtain called for the dissolution of NATO, considering that it was no longer necessary to maintain it.
But those who adopted that position, believing that in this way an intensive process of European pacification "from the Atlantic to the Urals" would be launched, according to the prescient phrase of General Charles de Gaulle, were naive. NATO not only did not dissolve but began to promote its expansionism; work facilitated by the fall of the Soviet Union. five months alone from the end of the Warsaw pact.
It must be admitted, however, that by being left alone, NATO saw its political-military objectives facilitated and broadened them to the point of focusing on a multinational body of domain in Europe and the Atlantic margin. Russia was cornered and NATO expanded to the Baltic countries and other nations that were part of the pact forged in the Polish capital.
In this framework it is absolutely logical that NATO now wants to integrate Ukraine while continuing its expansive character. Kiev is an important part of this device due to its border nature with Russia. It is, clearly, to integrate the maximum of borders with the Russian federation. That is the background of the current crisis.
The countries that founded the organization (USA, UK, France, Portugal, Belgium, Canada, Italy, Iceland, Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands) did not endorse such an expansionist vision as the one that currently exists in its leadership structure. The aforementioned De Gaulle, a recognized visionary, anticipated that future and decided that France would leave NATO's integral command in 1966, closing its headquarters installed in Paris.
De Gaulle considered that, by being part of the organization's military structure, France was losing its independence, so he pointed to a neutralist policy as the best way forward. In 2009, however, the president, Nicolas Sarkozy, shattered this attitude of the historic general, bringing France back into NATO.
To clearly lay out his strategy, in April 1973, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger stated that NATO would henceforth form part, as a key element, of the world domination of the United States, a position that over the years has been seen reinforced.
