Treaties are hard fought and often take years to negotiate.
They are designed to keep peace, preventing rival countries from going to war.
One agreement, signed in 1990 towards the end of the Cold War, is the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe.
The United States, other NATO members, the former Soviet Union and its central and eastern European allies agreed to prevent military build-up at their borders.
But in recent years, NATO’s expansion towards east and Russia’s security interests have left that accord all but meaningless.

Another great news for humanity. The devils will soon destroy themselves freeing humanity from their violence.
Russia dropped out of the nuke treaty So they can LEGALLY transfer small tactical nukes to Belarus. The treaty prohibited them from doing so in the past.
GOD bless Russia,Glory to Russia in jesus mighty name Amen,the cause and foundations of the war is Italy and France Paris and,America,Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,sardinia,Rome………
God is punishing Russia for what Putin’s predecessors did to literally every religious class in the USSR, all the churches burnt to the ground…
I think it’s time for you to take your medication again.
Hey it’s not NATO the true for this Organization should be call it Na war na kill and na
sanctions
Caapitulia
Yeah, Russia should before NATO troops and air power move in.
NATO Intimidation of Spreading eastwards is reason enough for Russia to take action. Power to Russia
@boxing messabout with my don round 2and yet we are all willing to go nuclear too . Go ahead…..make my day ….. The world will still be here Russia will not if they use a nuke . What about this don’t you understand 😂😂
Russia should provide an example of consequences NATO can expect in case of war. A few mushroom clouds around Kiev would serve as good example.
@CF Win So Russia should give an example with nukes and start an actual war with NATO? They can barely protect their own borders…
If Russia uses one nuke, the only ally they would have left is maybe North Korea
How did NATO intimidate russia? When your country would be asked by another to cooperate, would you disagree by default? If your nation in in alliance and that alliance is being asked to cooperate by yet another nation, should that alliance deny that request by default? I get that the perception of how things went down depends on where you are from and how you see the west or russia, but assuming that it was a nefarious act to accept new members is denying reality and by that anyone opposing that reality can automicly not succeed, that is the nature of reality.
A part of reality is, these nations wanted to join NATO, not just to be in NATO, but to not anylonger be in danger to become again a part of whatever powerstructure russia cooks up next. Looking at russia, it is again a oppressive regim by the metrics of democracies. Now you can say i don’t like democracies, fair enough. Do you like yt, being able to speak your mind here openly? Well that already is a democratic principle, which when you are a person in russia do not have. You can not just be against Putin and say so publicly. Protestors go to jail there.
RIP BOZO general major Sergei Goryachev, died defending illegally occupied Ukrainian territory against “failed counteroffensive”
Give Ukrain Nato membership
No jewkraine exactly like Israel, too much conflict, too much trouble , too much problems and cost too
Many wa
STOPPED
If you what to try out sun cream plus5 million give to Ukraine NATO membership hahahahah if you what to die in a nuclear winter sure why not this why your in your mom basement and life like a dog because you have no brain hahahah
@Fat Superman Because Russia cannot stop comitting genocide for the past 100 years
Start ww3.
Let Ukraine join Nato
No jewkraine exactly like Israel, too much conflict, too much trouble , too much problems and cost too
Many war
So what …..when NATO try Russia you get to knw is just a peace of shell
@shafie Kell nato never attacked russia before. Why would they do now? What is to gain?
Yes they will retreat when you gie Ukrain Nato membership
After they turn to dust
Nobody will retreat. If anything, You will have to exchange nukes.
1. russia anyway not fulfilled it, so we don’t care.
2. russia have no money for big arm purchase
3. if russia dares to attack NATO it will be annihilated in 21 day, as it was with Iraq.
im sorry but the guy in geneva looks hella suspicious lol
🤣🤣 I think so too🤨🤨
@RiO oh nice mate. i thought theres smth wrong with me for thinking that hahah
@n bruh the tone of his voice is also so funny. No offence he might be a good analyst but his voice and eye are truly sus.🧐
Lol. Very interesting look that guy 🙂
Like a James bond movie bro the villain hahahaha so Mr Bond where ar the codes hahahah
Putin is un safe He attacked Ukrain. Wake up.
From what I an many others see nato has no interest in safety or stability in Europe it’s interested in lining pockets of not so golden billion on the back of European African Middle Eastern Asian South American and American citizens but reserve all but America for it’s battle grounds for imperialism ❤
Ukraine president Zelasky wants to fight the Russia Federation, it wasn’t you who wanted to fight Russia, you suck Ukrainian to please America and kill your own people to make America to be none in the world, what a shameful to Zelasky, your own citizen should arrest Zelasky for sale Ukraine to war.
🇷🇺had every right to withhold information for reasons we are seeing now if they knew BRICS+capabilities were not up to defending themselves they wouldn’t be trying to use smaller countries around them to measure opposing countries defense capabilities ❤💯
NATO is a terrorist organization
US caused massive instability in Northern Africa, we saw so much immigration in EU and now this. US is 7000 miles away and will not suffer rather gain out of these wars. If anyone think these ammunition are for free, you are being made fool. Ukraine is gone, for long long time, generation dead and EU will lose industrial might it once had.
Idiot westerns falling world in denger.
On the lips of the prudent is wisdom, and a stick on a fool’s back.
why save a treaty with a N.A.T.O that has no intension of keeping its word, indeed why waste time speaking with them ? in truth we’ve been itching for a fight with Russia since the break up of the former Soviet Union (25 Dec’ 1991). question is if N.A.T.O succeeds in destroying Russia who’s next?
No, we want to upgrade it into a Hot War! We want the Americans and their K-9 Europeans to have a taste of war!
NATO had no choice but to expand,
because of Russia’s increasing threat to it’s neighboring countries.
No treaty can hold good today because of the tension that Europe is facing.
@My Space ukrain wanted to join nato before finland and sweden.russia is in former ussr territory.criemia’s people wanted to join russia and they get chance after west made coup in kiev.
It’s nonsensical and historically inaccurate perspectives like yours that has led to Ukraine’s destruction.
Have some shame. The opposite is also true.
@Mman Can you explain your perspective
@Russell Hou No Kidding!
Democracy is not danger to Russia but is danger to it’s regime. My country has been occupied by Soviet union and only with membership in NATO and EU we can feel safely. For all Russia lovers I wish to come to Magadan and see how people live in country richest for gold and diamonds.
Oh boy! you are so wrong as the majority that has the brain poisoned by MSM. God save your soul my friend.
Thank you all for your opinions. You can love Russia when you are in thousands of miles away from it. But you are in the big trouble if you see the Russian soldiers in your backyard.
@Grazvydas Gulbinskas I don like russia at all, but I like reason and logic. You can argue, using economical and social data, but to flatly call USSR an occupier of baltic states – is to spread your government propaganda. I newer saw any consistent scientific data, that would support this claim. Go ahead, prove me wrong
@Grazvydas GulbinskasThe same kind of sentiment has been shared by the inhabitants of Donbass who were shelled for more than 8 years by Ukrainian troops who killed more than 18,000 civilians of that area who wanted their independence.
@Николай Осколков Is being allowed to produce certain things, but not others a sign of a free society? How about not being allowed to travel whenever you want? I remember distincly that the KGP was feared everywhere, so is ruling by fear not already an occupation of hearts and minds?
Laughable development considering Russia is unilaterally disarming by depleting its arsenal in Ukraine.
Not nuclear tho 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Arms can be replaced. And what you do not understand is that is an advantage to the side that is “depleting” them.
Like the western equipments being used by Ukraine isn’t coming from the US too. It affects both side
Like all the western weapons going up in smoke.
The Americans and NATO never respected Russia concerns and they pulled more countrys into NATO so good for Russia they ar not to blame the Americans have nuclear weapons in Europe now Russia is doing the same they do something but when Russia is doing the same they ar evil double standards BS
Only 1 think makes your country safe …..Nuclear weapons the bigger and more the better then your ar safe nobody will attack you nobody will try because the world will end hahahahaha look at Ukraine I’m sure they regret give up so many nuclear weapons aaaaa hahahahah
Most of the comments here forget why nato was created for…after 90 s was a tool for west to bully ever1 in the world and kill people in irak afghanistan etc etc….in the name of democracy…are u blinds people?why we spend so many trillions for eternal wars?Just to make some people rich….wake the f… up
Paxistan is power in where in begging ?? Solding woman to china for money??😂😂😂Qatari propagandist
The only problem we have is the warmonger US and NATO
Russia is the problem. Russia invaded Ukraine.
It doesn’t matter the Kremlin / Putin said at the beginning of this invasion that it has been planning since before 2014 to regain the old USSR boundaries. And when you have a narrow minded violently oppressive regime then it is a futile exercise (as the Russians government has LIED (Kremlin agents / Allies) to the world constantly eg State sponsored murder / poisoning, national drug enhancement programs and the best “we will not invade Ukraine…” etc.
It’s NATO the western military gang is the real evil in this world. No nation can support a military block near it’s boarders
Just make sure that MSM lies everyday(like in this war) and Democracy as we made it is safe (Trump elections/FBI/Social media), Hunter Biden laptop, Minsk Agreement, Nord Srream, Bucca etc…..)
Wise move from Rasia. The treaty themself is a West big joke. I’m 💯💯💯💯the accord with Rusia.🙏🙏🙏🙏 Arigato🙏🙏
Death to the European Union, Death to The New World Order
Glory to mother Russia nato garboons beef up comedy zelensky to fight the great Russia 🇷🇺 federation
Big tough guy glorifying genocide from your computer screen 🤦🏻♂️
😂😂Great ? Tell me why Russia is great
Great Russia when?
The Gangsters in the Kremlin are illegitimate, they do not uphold treaties that they sign, therefore there can be no negotiations with Russia until these fake actors are removed.
Treaty with Russia when its no longer a dictatorship. But otherwise what else is there to do but continue the fight
Evil putler has made the world much more dangerous . The war in Ukraine will eventually end but the relationship between the West and Russia , china has been changed for ever into a new cold war.
Somebody is going to Nuke Ukreine.
Be honest, why do we have to be deaf and blind ourself. Russia’s move was a critical response to NATO’s “push”. This has even been discussed and warned by European intellectuals themselves since 9-8-6 last year. Why support the “warmonger” among USA and European people. Why lie with people as if this Russian action suddenly came from the void, as if Russia was drunk. No-no, it is the USA and NATO who are drunk on domination and hegemony.
Are you all blind and deaf to all the crimes of the fuc# USA & NATO around the world?!
The Russians signed the Budapest memorandum, when Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons, in return for security guarantees from the US, UK and Russia! The US and the UK have kept there word, whilst the Russians have violated it! Any treaty with Russia is worthless and they have proved that since 2014!!
⚒️🇨🇳🇰🇵🇷🇺⚒️Breaking News Dad, President Vladimir Putin you are welcome..I hope that the political papers will be taken seriously With our Communist Party Chinese Supreme Leader of North Korea And war is open in the land of the Soviet Union..We are like presidents in the land of Russian Federation and politicians. We do not want any diplomatic policy. OF America and Britain Especially Germany when they were killed in the war Soviet Union
Good luck to anyone trying to understand this response.
@semper sodalis I couldn’t understand what he was saying it’s actually typical for his people to be so stupid I mean they got defeat by the Jews lmao 🤣 and I’m German.
It’s Goin Down it’s going to fail is going to be NATO fully involved from different countries on a full-scale and which is going to spread over to other parts of the continent due to global economics
Well. This was a problem of western making. Their insistence in the imposition of their own values and constant warmongering belligerence. It is only natural for independent nations to be threatened and would proceed with their own course.
Russia 🇷🇺 is doing a good job 👏. From uk 🇬🇧
Russia is doing good job from ethiopia
🇷🇺 is doing a good job for Multipolarity in the World from 🇮🇳
😮😢😮😮😢.. 👉🏻👉🏼👉🏽 America calls it “Liberation” instead of “Invasion”. That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on… Why the double standard? Confused… Please enlighten. Genuine question…

You implement a treaty to limit conventional military forces and then expand a military alliance. What am I missing here. Let me see, you limit conventional military forces which limits production of military kit; you expand a military alliance, increasing a customer base thus stimulating an increase in the production of military kit. Balance restored.
It is not a given that Ukrain will be a customer base to anyone particular. Sofar besides the agrements on NATO standards, all western nation are free to procure to their hearts content, invest in their own production capabilities or buy outsite of the west when it makes sense to them and would not break any international treates. There is not one company besides maybe Urkainian companies which can take dips on what Ukrain will spend their money on after the war.
If not for the curently bad relations, i would imagine the west would have been open to renegotiate the terms, before not having a treaty at all. There sure is a balance issue though, but just cancling the treaty will also give the military complex of the west the opportunity to restructure to the new situations.
It is about time to put ruSSia in its place. It isn’t a “superpower” it is more or less a developing country. Far from superpower! It just has Nukes. ( most of them don’t even work )… No treaties anymore with that Bully!!
Its trash. They violate it themselves and only want to limit capability of their rival countries.
How stupid does this channel think its audience is? Do you really think we can’t see that Russia is absolutely right to withdraw from the Treaty? That Russia could not show its weapons to the enemy while fighting a war? A war that the West has been planning for decades.
This channel should be held responsible for misinforming its audience and leading them into submission while the lunatics in power in the West get us into a third world war, the one that is about to start any minute and there is no one doing anything to stop it.
War in Ukraine is provoked mostly by the US because they want to keep that hegemony. There are many people in the EU and politicians that think like me, but are afraid to speak openly about that because they will be treated like the Orban. ORBAN is just telling the truth.
US don’t care about human loses, they start the conflict in all spheres around the World. US is ruled from the Wall Street by large corporations led by the worst sort of human kind and their only goal is to make money!
US accuse China of being aggressive!? THE most aggressive country in the WORLD is the US! About 800 military bases around the world proves that!
Who cares??? Russia’s revenue is down at least 46% and the sanctions do not stop. The yearly project deficit for Russia was met last months and will be close to 3X higher than expected. The west is like a huge Boa constrictor wrapped around the Russian economy and it will collapse.
Oil production in Russia has been cut severely and the gas price at the pump is historically high. Russia is done so the treaty does not matter. Russia cannot even protect its own borders at this point.
The clown should surrender and resign and go back to live in washington
The world has changed thanks to Vladimir putin and Xi Jinping a changes that has been never seen for 100 years 😂
The gay guy is a pure propaganda machine😂has 0 critism of nato actions on CFE and calls all critism just the russian narrative
This is what the West or NATO wanted and good for Europe, so why are they worries about😅now NATO is keep openings up for more members from Europe to Indon Pacific, so who needs it anymore😢now is free for all👍🍺
So you mean, when war breaks out for real, some treaties get dumped??
Russia and China do not respect any treaty. They signed these treaties in order to achieve their arms ambitions. These are not trust worthy.
These treaties are only for developing countries and developed countries takes advantages of these so called treaties…
Russia 🇷🇺 Rocks 🤟🫰🤞✌️
🤣
Like a rock in the ocean going to the bottom
Aljezeera invited number of guests to discuss about Russia without a single Russian. And the rest are just lying 😂
The evil empire Russia must fall🇺🇸
Russia will still be around when most of the europe is gone for good.
@SHS all European couno is country of 1 nation, while russia is genocidal imperialistic empire with like 30+ colonies with totally different people. Google Tatarstan, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tuva, Yakutia, Buryatia. Russia conquered them and humiliating them. Tatarstan rich oil region, who could be as successful as Qatar, but russians give them only poverty, and the obligation to spend on the russian imperialistic war
RUSSIA can do that as NATO expanded when they agreed not too
NATO expansionism towards Russia 🇷🇺 is the problem. Russia has every right to respond when its security is threatened. Russia is not alone in this the entire global south is sympathetic to Russia.
🙏❤❤❤🇷🇺
The entire global south is sympathetic to the sort of troublemaker who endorses the sort of abuses that hobble the Global South? utter BS.
You have to apply to join NATO…its not forced. Ask yourself what RUSSIA is doing to drive its neighbors into its enemies arms. Why is a country and system 1,000s of miles away more appealing than what Russia offers? Russia and Putin is solely to blame. LITERALLY the largest country and most resource rich country in the world…yet it’s only equal to Italy.
Instead of buying yachts and allowing corruption to fester they should have offered no strings attached support to its neighbors to gain thier influence. Instead they started multiple cold conflicts and used intimidation and political dominance to control people.
Russia escalating more and more and provoking NATO on ww3.
It’s unacceptable!!! Countries must decrease arm deployment, not increase! But russia never fulfilled this agreements to be honest. russia always thought about it’s fascist imperialistic expansion. And this is a big problem. West should think how to punish russia for that.
I think we should try resolve it peacefully, but we should really harm russia seriously with painful sanctions. Not those which now imposed for pretend like sanctions. It’s not enough. We need real energy embargo or essential oil price cap for russians.
NATO don’t want Russian dogs, Russia is just mad countries are joining NATO over poor Russia. Let’s make Russia learn again!
The Ukranian isn’t even a country, though.
Putin👍
Aljazeera is such a lazy, biased news medium. At least with CNN, I know I am watching White House narrative, but what is wrong with Aljazeera?
I even have more facts about what is happening/has happened in Ukraine that the garbage you guys parrot!
The constant expansion of NATO has made a total mockery of this treaty , NATO is outdated and should have been disbanded when the USSR fell ,but the U.S empire wants to control the world. 😡 If NATO had disbanded or hadn’t kept expanding and kept to the agreement of not one inch eastwards then we wouldn’t be in this situation with Russia and Ukraine which is all down to the U.S.
Putin already promised to never touch Ukraine if they disarmed their nukes. As long as Putin exists, you can’t trust anything. It all comes down to money. Russia and all the help they can get, won’t work. They’re finished.
