Since the coup against the elected Yanukovich government in Ukraine on February 22, 2014, an international crisis has been brewing -- involving the U.S., E.U., and Russia, and closely linked to the expansion of NATO since the 90s. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was created by the U.S. and Western European nations to militarily counter the Soviet Union. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, NATO was not disbanded but was significantly enlarged. At a meeting on January 10, 2015 two speakers, authorities well equipped to explore this subject, discussed the background causes of the Ukraine troubles (now drawing the U.S. and Russia closer to possible military confrontation). Speaking were Dr. John J. Mearsheimer, co-director of Program on International Security Policy at University of Chicago; and Rick Rozoff, manager of the Stop NATO website. Dr. Mearsheimer spoke of the real reason of the crisis: "We are interested in peeling away Ukraine and Georgia from Russia's orbit and making [them] bulwarks of the West, right on Putin's doorstep." Mearsheimer goes on to remind us how sensitive big powers are to that kind of thing with the way the U.S. reacted to the prospect of Soviet missiles in Cuba in 1962. American foreign policy, rightly or wrongly, was obsessed with upholding the Monroe Doctrine declaring U.S. hegemony in the Western Hemisphere. Dr. Mearsheimer and Rick Rozoff fleshed out the three parts to the West's strategy vis-a-vis Russia and its immediate neighborhood in Eastern Europe: 1) NATO Expansion, 2) European Union Expansion, 3) Promote Democracy (meaning putting in power leaders who are pro-Western and anti-Russian). Rozoff provided the background narrative to the steady march of NATO expansion since the 90s. In 1999 NATO held its 50th anniversary summit in Washington, D.C., while at the same time conducting its first war (to break up Yugoslavia, the first war in Europe since WWII). NATO then went on to conduct wars in three continents. Now, US-controlled NATO has 28 full members and 39 partner countries, nearly half of the nations in the UN. The April, 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest was followed then by a war between Georgia and Russia in August, 2008, precipitated by plans to make Georgia part of NATO. "It's clear," Rozoff noted, "that policy makers in the United States and also their NATO allies in Europe were envisioning some sort of continental system in Europe...There's not a single European nation...that has not either been a full member of NATO or a member of the Partnership for Peace program and in many instances several intermediate programs...So what we're talking about is the entirety of Europe being subordinated to a military bloc controlled from the other side of the Atlantic, and nothing less." Both speakers underlined the sobering implications of NATO expansion. Rozoff ended his talk by saying, "I should let you know that both of us panelists objected to the original title that was proposed for this talk which included words to the effect of 'nuclear war' or something. However I woke up this morning to see that someone not noted for ever having being tremendously confrontational with the West, former Soviet President Michael Gorbachev, talk about just that prospect". Labor Beat here presents a condensed version of Mearsheimer's and Rozoff's 50-minute discussion. Also, we have generously enhanced the video with news photos and maps.

Russia’s envoy to NATO has warned that the western military alliance’s expansion into Ukraine and Georgia would have catastrophic consequences for Europe The Russian envoy believes that NATO expansion would be catastrophic for Ukraine as well. He accused the bloc of raising QUOTE “an iron curtain” in Europe by deploying troops and holding military exercises near its eastern border. Moscow is opposed to military drills which NATO has been holding over the past months, amid rising tensions over the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Russia and the West accuse each other of fueling the war that broke out in Ukraine in early 2013.

English/Nat Leading Clinton administration officials testified before the Senate on Tuesday promoting the enlargement of NATO. The Senate heard a strong endorsement for the expansion of NATO to include Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. A packed Senate Foreign Relations Committee heard the U-S Secretary of Defence, U-S Secretary of State and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Tuesday push for the expansion of NATO. Proposals are before the influential Committee to approve the inclusion of Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. U-S Secretary of State Madeleine Albright strongly denounced a plan supported by some senators that would limit the expansion of NATO. Those senators, she said, wanted a permanent freeze on any further expansion of the NATO membership. SOUNDBITE: (English) "A mandated pause would be heard from Tallinn in the north to Sofia in the south as the sound of an open door slamming shut. It would be seen as a vote of no confidence in the reform minded governments from the Baltics to the Balkans. It would diminish the incentive nations now have to cooperate with their neighbours and with NATO. It would fracture the consensus NATO itself has reached itself on its open door. It would be at once dangerous and utterly unnecessary since the Senate would in any case have to approve the admission of any new allies." SUPER CAPTION: Madeleine Albright, U-S Secretary of State General Hugh Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff addressed the concerns raised by Russia on the expansion. Shelton said the inclusion of Russia in the Partnership for Peace was showing some major benefits for both sides. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Senator Biden, from our perspective this expansion of the Partnership for Peace and getting the Russians more involved in every respect, to include liaison at NATO headquarters is a way to try to turn this Iron Curtain that we've lived with for so many years into a picture window in terms of the Russians. They want us to believe that they are a new Russia - their resistance is in looking at NATO is to think that we really are not against anyone, we are for peace and stability." SUPER CAPTION: General Henry H. Shelton, chairman, U-S Joint Chief of Staff As the Clinton administration officials pressed their case for NATO expansion, the Pentagon cut its estimate of the cost of bringing three former Warsaw Pact members into the alliance. On Monday, the Pentagon issued a report saying the price tag will be 1.5 (b) billion U-S dollars over 10 years - now matching a NATO estimate. This reduced initial estimates from the U-S Department of Defence of between 4.9 (b) billion U-S dollars to 6.2 (b) billion U-S dollars. The money would cover such things as hooking up new members to NATO communications and air defence systems. Despite the reduced price-tag, the US Secretary of Defence said each of the countries seeking admission to NATO would have to pay a high price. SOUNDBITE: (English) "The price of admission is high. We talked about NATO being an open door - but that open door stands at the top of a steep set of stairs. Each of these countries have to climb a set of stairs in terms of modernising their societies, having an open and democratic society, subordinating their militaries to civilian control, promoting market economies - all of the ideals that we treasure. These countries have to measure up to those standards - so the price of admission is high." SUPER CAPTION: William Cohen, U-S Secretary of Defence Albright injected a personal note and talked about the reasons for the existence of NATO in the first place. SOUNDBITE: (English) The U-S Senate is expected to vote on the expansion in March.

USA: WASHINGTON: SENATE DEBATE ON THE EXPANSION OF NATO

English/Nat The U-S Senate is debating the expansion of NATO to include three countries that were once part of the Soviet empire. Lawmakers are being asked to expand the NATO umbrella to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Secretary of Defence William Cohen made an appearance on Capitol Hill to dismiss what he called "apocalyptic suggestions" that expansion would poison relations with Moscow. The Defence Secretary himself made a final push for NATO expansion. The former senator made the rounds on Capitol Hill, lobbying ex-colleagues. And at a regular news conference hosted by Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle's, William Cohen made a guest appearance. The defence secretary dismissed suggestions that expansion of the military alliance to Russia's doorstep could spark a nuclear war. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I think that the Russian government understands exactly what NATO enlargement is going to mean as far as the stability for the future. And I don't see the kind of apocalyptic suggestions being raised by some as ever materialising, to be sure." SUPER CAPTION: William Cohen, Secretary of Defence Both Democratic and Republican leaders predict that the Senate will finally approve adding Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic to the 16-nation alliance. Like Cohen, the powerful chairman of the foreign relations committee shrugged off speculation that expansion would harm U-S-Russia ties. Senator Jesse Helms also denounced opponents who suggested the three former Soviet bloc nations should first gain entry to the European Union. SOUNDBITE: (English) "With all due respect to our friends in Europe, the European Union could not fight its way out of a wet paper bag and we need to face up to that. Giving the European Union veto over who does and who does not get into NATO would be nothing less than the abdication of American leadership in Europe. The fact is this, admitting Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to NATO is in America's best interest." SUPER CAPTION: Senator Jesse Helms, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee But a diverse and bipartisan group of opponents also took to the floor to air their complaints. They called the enlargement too costly to U-S taxpayers and a poke-in-the-eye to Russia that could have catastrophic consequences. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Why are we doing this? In other words we know what the risk is. We know that this is a real risk for democracy in Russia. We know this is a real risk for arms agreements. We know this is a real risk in perhaps setting off just the opposite of what all of us hope for, which is the use of nuclear weapons - the unthinkable. We know what the risks are, poisoning relations with Russia, instability in Europe. So the question is, why are we doing this?" SUPER CAPTION: Senator Paul Wellstone, Democrat, Minnesota Despite the opposition, the Senate is expected to vote this week to approve NATO expansion by a decisive margin. However, a close vote is expected on a proposed amendment by Senators John Warner and Daniel Patrick Moynihan that calls for a three-year freeze on further expansion. Cohen said that such a freeze would be unwise and unnecessary. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We deliberately sent the signal that the door is to remain open in the future rather than being closed. There is no time frame that has been set. There have been no representations in terms of when other countries may qualify for it. We've pointed out that the door is open, but the door is at the top of a very steep set of stairs that other countries will have to climb before they're entitled to walk through that door. So I think it's unnecessary and it would be counterproductive to approve it."

What You Need To Know: ✓ Hybrid warfare is just a new label created to describe an old system; ✓ There is no plan to establish a European army; ✓ Germany will only have a political role in this conflict; ✓ Becoming a NATO state is a very difficult process'; ✓ NATO cannot accept all countries who want to become part of the alliance. Hybrid warfare is just a new terms to describe using all available means to achieve a political objective says Rainer Schuwirth, the former Chief of Staff of Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE). "Technology has changed, and will always adapt to the needs of militaries." He believes that one fact of war which cannot ever change is that "you can't seize territory without boots on the ground, you cannot do it with the internet or with drones." As far as the idea of a European army, Schuwirth says its merely a pipedream at this point. "It would take a long time to establish a European army, it is only a vision at this point. Nations are not willing to give up total sovereignty over their armed forces." Regarding the possibility of ascending to NATO, he points out that the first step the most recent countries to ascent to NATO took was to "assume responsibility and be creative." In his view, and from his talks with the Ukrainian army, he says there's good reason to be optimistic about the future of the army. Mr. Schuwirth goes onto say that NATO cannot just accept any country that wants to be part of NATO. The countries must have reached a certain level of development, no internal conflicts, no conflicts with neighbours. The principles of NATO are still valued.

Eng/Russ/Nat Russia and the United States said they had made progress on narrowing their differences on the expansion of NATO in talks on Thursday. The progress was made as U-S Secretary of State Madeleine Albright flew to Moscow to meet Russian officials to discuss the eastwards expansion of NATO. Albright arrived, saying she would make no new concessions to Russia, which is concerned about central and eastern European nations joining the alliance. Albright, on her second trip to Russia since taking office in January, touched down in Moscow on Thursday for a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov. The meeting brought the United States and Russia one step closer to hammering out an agreement on NATO's eastward expansion. After talks with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl last month, Russian President Boris Yeltsin vowed that Russia would soon be ready to sign a charter with NATO in Paris. Such a charter would pave the way for Russia's acceptance of the first round of NATO enlargement due to begin in a couple of months. During a stopover, Albright told reporters she would issue invitations to prospective NATO members in July - even if Russia has failed to sign on by then. While prepared to listen to Russia's concerns about the looming enlargement of the NATO military alliance, Albright said there would be no more concessions to Moscow. But an unexpected phone call from Russian President Boris Yeltsin during Albright's meeting with Primakov, gave the talks gave new impetus. The Russian President spoke with Albright at length providing a breakthrough to stalled talks. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I might say we had an encouraging phone call from President Yeltsin during our talks encouraging - I mean in terms of encouragement to us - to move forward in our negotiations." SUPERCAPTION: Madeleine Albright, U-S Secretary of State Russia's Foreign Minister suggested Moscow no longer felt threatened by NATO expansion. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "Our talks were successful and the most important breakthrough is that we wasted no time in trying to prove to one and another that NATO expansion is a threat to one or the other. We are not caught up in these threats anymore. SUPER CAPTION: Yevgeny Primakov, Russian Foreign Minister Albright's shuttle diplomacy coincided with Russia's most coveted holiday -- May Day. Communists and other opposition parties gathered to criticise the government for both its foreign and domestic policies. The subject of NATO expansion is one of the most debated issues in Russia. Communists and nationalists alike feel that Yeltsin's government has been too soft on the western alliance -- allowing it to come right up to Russia's borders and threaten her national security. Sidelined and forgotten, many Russians are searching for a scapegoat -- something on which to blame Russia's problems. NATO and its eastward expansion is providing just that.

Cutaway of flags 13. SOUNDBITE (English) Zbigniew Brzezinski, former US National Security Advisor "And that brings me to the issue of Russia. It's future is still unclear. The effects of the genocide of war against Chechnya are poisoning its politics. It seems still tempted by imperial nostalgia, especially in regards to the space of the former Soviet Union. It occasionally acts as if it still wanted to separate Europe from America." 14. Slovakian Prime Minister Dzurinda listening Brzezinski's speech STORYLINE: NATO enlargement has brought security and stability to Central and Eastern Europe, Slovakia's prime minister said on Friday at the opening of a conference of 10 countries seeking membership in the alliance. Prime Minister Mikulas Dzurinda said non-NATO members already have shown they can contribute to the alliance, citing Romania and Bulgaria, which allowed NATO forces to fly over their territory during the 1999 Kosovo crisis, despite opposition from their citizens. Dzurinda said the two countries represent "solid rocks in the rather turbulent environment of Southeastern Europe". The Slovakian Prime Minister, who was joined at the conference by his counterparts from Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia and Croatia, as well as representatives from Albania and Macedonia, called for further NATO enlargement. He said the enlarging of NATO would "fulfill our historic destiny and make Europe more secure", adding that his and other governments are working towards joining the alliance in 2002 in the hope that NATO will invite new countries to join. The Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland were the first former communist countries to become members in 1999. Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Advisor to former U-S President Jimmy Carter, said at least three countries - the most ready candidates - should receive invitations to join NATO in 2002. He said "NATO will approve their admission at the Prague summit and set in motion the required ratification process." On Thursday, a letter from President George W Bush was read to conference participants, saying their fledgling democracies and the United States "share common values and a common goal: a Europe whole, free and at peace." The three-day conference produced a so-called "Bratislava declaration," calling for speeded-up efforts to enlarge NATO and declare the visions these countries have of the future of the alliance and Europe. But Russia has fiercely opposed any expansion of the alliance, calling it a security threat. The Russian Embassy issued a statement calling NATO's expansion plans "a grave mistake provoking negative changes of the military-strategic landscape and division lines in Europe".

English/Nat The U-S Senate returned to debating plans for NATO enlargement on Thursday, with still no indication on when it might vote on the measure. The Senate has engaged in an on-again, off-again debate on ratifying the expansion plan. The admission of the three former Warsaw Pact countries into NATO enjoys wide bipartisan support, though the potential cost has worried some representatives. The Senate began considering the NATO measure late last Tuesday, and Majority Leader Trent Lott has been alternating debate on it with discussion of an unrelated bill for new educational tax breaks. A vote is not expected until next week, at the earliest. Some have questioned the reasons behind NATO expansion, now that the Soviet Union is no longer a serious military threat. SOUNDBITE:(English) "I believe that we must not turn our back on this historic opportunity. We must embrace these market democracies and say that the old ways are gone and that we welcome them into the free world. Relative peace should not stop us from being engaged for peace and freedom. I believe that expanding Nato to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic is the best way to ensure peace and stability." SUPER CAPTION: Ben Campbell, U-S Senator from Colorado Senator Carl Levin who is a supporter of the move to expand the alliance, called the enlargement plan the product of careful and comprehensive consideration. He opposed an effort to impose a three-year moratorium on admitting any new nations after Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic become members. SOUNDBITE:(English): "Several issues need to be addressed as part of this momentous debate. These issues include the impact that enlargement will have on Russia, the commitment of these three nations to the principles of the NATO treaty, the cost of NATO enlargement, whether the door to further enlargement should remain open after the accession of these three nations and whether the accession Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic should be delayed until they are admitted to the European Union." SUPER CAPTION: Carl Levin, U-S Senator from Michigan Senator Dianne Feinstein, another supporter, also saw no reason why NATO should no be expanded. SOUNDBITE:(English): "When NATO was originally formed, during the early days of the Cold War, it was conceived as a purely defensive alliance, a static line, protecting western Europe from Soviet encroachment. But it has been more than eight years since the Berlin Wall came down. Today, the Soviet Union is gone and the sort of military threat for which NATO was originally conceived and designed thankfully no longer exists." SUPER CAPTION: Dianne Feinstein, U-S Senator from California Senator Paul Wellstone who is against any enlargement warned that NATO's mission had changed but not diminished. SOUNDBITE:(English): "There is peace between states in Europe, between nations in Europe for the first time in centuries. We don't have a divided Europe and I worry about a NATO expansion which could redivide Europe and again poison relations with Russia. Mister President: why are we then rushing to expand a military alliance in Central Europe? How can Russia not feel threatened by: one, this prospect of NATO forces moving hundreds of miles closer to its borders? and two, the possibility of further NATO expansion including even the Baltic states. This is all been left, as my colleague, the distinguished chair knows, open ended." SUPER CAPTION: Paul Wellstone, U-S Senator from Minnesota NATO which was created in 1949 to confront the Soviet Union in Europe, currently has 16 member nations. Out of the 16 nations only Canada, Denmark and Norway have ratified the expansion agreement.

We can't just fulfil the requirements having to do with reconstruction and development, we can't just fulfil the requirements that have to do with governance and rule of law, we just can't fulfil the requirements that have to deal with the hearts and minds of the population, we also have to win against these insurgents, help the Afghans to win." 8.

Wide of Kouchner leaving news conference STORYLINE: NATO nations cranked up pressure on Greece Thursday to allow Macedonia to join the alliance, warning that leaving the Balkan nation isolated could add to instability in a region already tense following Kosovo's split with Serbia. Croatia, Macedonia and Albania are hoping to be invited to join NATO at an alliance summit early next month in Bucharest, Romania. But Greece has threatened to veto Macedonia's entry because of a dispute over the country's name. Membership bids by Ukraine and Georgia also divided the alliance, with several allies expressing concern that opening up to the former Soviet nations would worsen NATO's already strained relations with Russia. Greece says the name of Macedonia, which broke away from Yugoslavia in 1991, implies a claim to its northern region with the same name. Other allies appealed to the two countries to come to an agreement in UN-led talks before the Bucharest meeting starts on 2 April. "The flavour of the discussion on enlargement, I think I can qualify that there's certainly no enlargement fatigue in NATO. I hope, but I can only say I hope, not to be in contradiction to myself. That by the time of the summit, we'll be able to say that the NATO family is growing again," said NATO Secretary-General, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer during a news conference in Brussels. Ukraine and Georgia have asked NATO to give them an official road map to alliance membership at the Bucharest summit, a move strongly opposed by Moscow, which is wary of the eastern expansion of its old Cold War foe. Although new NATO members in eastern Europe backed the former Soviet republics, Germany, France and others expressed concern about further antagonising Moscow when relations are already strained over Kosovo, missile defence and arms control in Europe. Also on Thursday diplomats at the meeting of NATO foreign ministers said that Norwegian diplomat Kai Eide has emerged as the top candidate to become the international "super envoy" for Afghanistan. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Eide had a "good chance" of getting the job, and NATO diplomats confirmed that consensus was growing behind the Norwegian. Eide is a former Norwegian ambassador to NATO and served as a UN envoy in Kosovo.
