The fact that russia wishes to make some words into existence does not mean they existed.

It is a historical fact, that german foreign minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher, assured "NATO will not expand to the east".

That does not make it any binding international agreement, sure. But some of those words existed.

East in Germany,

Context is important, how could the German foreign minister ever promise anything about any other country?.

Don’t you know? national sovereignty is a myth and great powers such as Russia (lol..) have an inherent right to impose their will on everyone between the Oder and Pacific ocean because mr. Genscher renounced Germany’s claim to Eastern Europe.
