Summary

NATO broke its promise that it won’t enlarge towards the East. NATO enlargement resembles Hitler and Napoleon´s attack on Russia. // There is a civil war in Ukraine. West uses Ukraine to detabilize Russia.

Disproof

The claim about NATO "expansion" misrepresents the process of NATO enlargement. NATO does not "expand" but considers the applications of candidate countries which want to join.

The migration wave from the Middle East to Europe is controlled, among others, by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Muslim Brotherhood, which also controlled the Obama administration to a large extent; and it is organised also by the EU institutions.
