While a US commitment that NATO would not expand towards Russia was made during talks with the Soviets in 1990, and remains a topic of heated dispute, no undertaking was written into the treaty on German reunification.
Nah, that would imply that the USSR was actually a union of republics and not a Moscow’s little colonial empire.
You’re missing the point of the exercise: to be geopolitically creative and weasely.
