Did the US promise NOT to expand @NATO? 🤷♂️
Even if it hadn't, expanding @NATO was far from a given in the early 1990s. The Clinton Administration struggled with what to do and how to do it.
@e_sarotte's new @Journal_IS piece explores how it happened: mitpressjournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
And some of the documents used in the piece (and that @e_sarotte worked to declassify) are available via the @NSArchive
nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/…
These documents are amazing and will contribute to 👇assignment in #ChicagoIntroIR2019
So like all of @e_sarotte's work (1989; The Collapse; etc), an important and super useful piece worth engaging!
Addendum: Oh, and for the latest on the "No NATO expansion promise" debate, see discussion b/w @shifrinson & @timsayle from this past weekend
