George Bush Sr. promised Gorbachev that NATO would "never move an inch eastward".  Well, look what happened.  NATO has indeed moved Eastward quite a way. That means the US can't keep promises worth a shit. And... since Russia and the US both have nukes,  only idiots would work towards having WWIII. "Trust, but verify should be the policy". Wrt, 1930's, yes, because the US only produces "consumption" in the world economy.  I bet the Pentagram hasn't even figured out how much of their fancy weapons shit originates in China.  If you're essentially a dead broke banana republic with nukes, yes a 1930's policy is where we need to be!

Eastern European countries were begging to get in NATO.

"Banana Republic with nukes"? "Only produces consumption"? Seriously??? Quit being ridiculous Rags. The US still has one of the largest manufacturing outputs in the world.
