Who Actually CAUSED this War in Ukraine?

24 February 1990, US President George Herbert Walker Bush Secretly informed German Chancellor Helmut Kohl at Camp David, that though Bush and All of his Agents such as Secretary of State James Baker had Verbally Promised the Soviet Union S Leader Mikhail Gorbachev that (as Baker put it) NATO would Not Expand “One Inch to the East” (toward Russia’s Border) if Communism and the Soviets’ NATO Mirror Military Alliance Warsaw Pact would End, and the Soviet Union break up, this had been Only in Order to Deceive Gorbachev, and, that Actually, the Cold War on the US and Allied Side would Secretly continue until Russia itself would Ultimately become Part of the US Controlled Empire. Later, Bush Similarly Informed Other US Allied Heads of State. A Colleague Recently told me that he considers this Okay because there was No Signed Agreement by Gorbachev and Bush on This Matter. So, Those Promises should Just have been Ignored by Gorbachev. In Other Words, Bush S Intention for America and it S Allies to Conquer Russia was Okay. I responded to him as follows.

Because of your Underlying Assumption that ONLY WRITTEN Agreements count, I Just Now did Some Research on Whether America S Now having Unilaterally Cancelled Russia’s Membership in the WTO (World Trade Organization) so as to be Able to Tariff at Sky High Rates Russian Imports into the US is Legal. America is A Signed Member of WTO, and so is Russia.

The WTO Treaty (called “GATT” for “General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade”) opens with Article 1, Paragraph 1, which prohibits Any Member from Providing “Any Advantage, Favour, Privilege or Immunity granted by any Contracting Party to any Product Originating in or Destined for Any Other Country” unless the Same Treatment is being Provided to All Other Member Countries. That’s the Core of the GATT, Non Discriminatory International Trade

The Next Question is Whether (or under what Conditions) A Country can be Expelled from the WTO as America and It S Allies Claim to be doing. The Entire WTO Treaty fails Even So Much as to Just Mention Expulsion – and, so, the Honest Answer here is Clearly No.

Yet America ‘Did’ It, and It S Vassal Nations (‘Allies’) Joined In – All of Them Clearly Violating that Written Treaty, Which All of  Signed.

On 12 March 2022, the Neo Conservative Washington Post, Jeff Bezos S Newspaper, bannered “There are Two Ways to Kick Russia Out of the World Trade System. One is More lLkely to Work.”, and it argued that, “Even if WTO Members do Not Act Collectively to Suspend or Expel Russia, they can ActI ndividually to effectively remove Russia S WTO Privileges. Indeed, Ukraine and Canada have Already Done So.” The Argument is that This Can Be Done if “A WTO Member ‘Considers Necessary for the Protection of it S Essential Security Interests ( . . .) taken in Time of War or Other Emergency in International Relations.’” That Excuse can be Used by any Country against Any Country it wants to Harm, but since the Treaty includes No Provision to Expel Any Member, Any Country that uses this as a Mere Excuse – when NOT under Threat (unlike Ukraine, which IS Actually at War with Russia) – such as the US and it S Allies are – violates the Treaty S Opening Paragraph.
