Original Note:
NATO non-expansion was never promised. The agreement was that there would be no deployment of non-German NATO forces on the territory of the former GDR. Gorbachev himself: "The topic of 'NATO expansion' was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years." https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2014/11/06/did-nato-promise-not-to-enlarge-gorbachev-says-no/ https://www.rbth.com/international/2014/10/16/mikhail_gorbachev_i_am_against_all_walls_40673.html
