Disinfo: NATO is preparing to start a war with Russia

Summary

NATO is preparing to start a war with Russia. This is the final stage of a long-term policy that also includes the introduction of economic sanctions that the USA forced other Western states to adopt.

Disproof

As stated by NATO heads of state and government at the Wales Summit in September 2014, "the Alliance does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia. But we cannot and will not compromise on the principles on which our Alliance and security in Europe and North America rest" (bit.ly/1u0c1ky), . // The EU imposed restrictive measures against the Russian Federation in response to the illegal annexation of Crimea and the deliberate destabilisation of a neighbouring sovereign country (bit.ly/19wwzP3), .

NATO announces war policy against Russia: the Alliance has revoked the treaty of 1997 prohibiting the stationing of nuclear weapons in the new NATO member states. This is just another promise breached by NATO, after it had violated the promise given to Gorbachev in 1990 that NATO won’t expand further to the East.

Untrue. The 1997 Founding Act
on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security between NATO and the Russian Federation is still in force (bit.ly/1JYSTOF), . // Repeating an already debunked myth, such a promise was never made (bit.ly/1qQ3wHH), . This is acknowledged by Gorbachev himself.
