Na David Swanson, Kekemapa 16, 2017, E Hoʻolālā i ka mākiakalakala.

No nā makahiki he mau makahiki i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka manaʻo he kānalua paha inā ua hoʻohiki maoli ʻo ʻAmelika i ke alakaʻi Soviet ʻo Mikhail Gorbachev inā e hui hou ʻo Kelemania, a laila ʻaʻole e hoʻonui ʻo NATO i ka hikina. Ua loaʻa i ka National Security Archive e hoomaha ia mau mea kanalua ma ka liʻiliʻi a hiki i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka pūnaewele.

Ma Ianuali 31, 1990, ua haʻi ʻo Hans-Dietrich Genscher i ke Kuhina Haole o Kelemania Komohana i kahi haʻiʻōlelo nui i ka lehulehu, e like me ka US Embassy ma Bonn, ua wehewehe ʻo ia "ʻaʻole pono nā hoʻololi ma ʻEulopa Hikina a me ke kaʻina hoʻohui Kelemania e alakaʻi i kahi hoʻololi. 'impairment o ka pono palekana Soviet.' No laila, pono e hoʻokuʻu ʻo NATO i ka 'hoʻonui ʻana o kona ʻāina i ka hikina, ʻo ia hoʻi ka neʻe ʻana a kokoke i nā palena Soviet.'

Ma ka lā 10 o Pepeluali i ka makahiki 1990, hui ʻo Gorbachev ma Moscow me ke alakaʻi ʻo West German ʻo Helmut Kohl a hāʻawi i ka ʻae Soviet, ma ke ʻano, i ka hui ʻana o Kelemania i NATO, ʻoiai ʻaʻole i hoʻonui ʻia ʻo NATO i ka hikina.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kāleka Mokuʻāina ʻo James Baker, ʻaʻole e hoʻonui ʻia ʻo NATO i ka hikina i kona hui ʻana me Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze ma Pepeluali 9, 1990, a i kona hui ʻana me Gorbachev ia lā hoʻokahi. Ua haʻi aku ʻo Baker iā Gorbachev ʻekolu manawa ʻaʻole e hoʻonui ʻo NATO i hoʻokahi iniha ma ka hikina. Ua ʻae ʻo Baker i ka ʻōlelo a Gorbachev "ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia ka hoʻonui ʻana o NATO." Ua haʻi aku ʻo Baker iā Gorbachev "inā mālama ʻo ʻAmelika i kona noho ʻana ma Kelemania i loko o ka hoʻolālā o NATO, ʻaʻole hoʻokahi ʻīniha o ka mana pūʻali koa o NATO i kēia manawa e laha ma ka hikina."

Makemake ka poʻe e ʻōlelo e loaʻa iā Gorbachev kēia ma ke kākau ʻana.

Ua hana ʻo ia, ma ke ʻano o ka palapala o keia halawai.

Ua kākau ʻo Baker iā Helmut Kohl nāna e hālāwai me Gorbachev i ka lā aʻe, Feberuari 10, 1990: “A laila ua nīnau au iā ia. Makemake ʻoe e ʻike i kahi Kelemania i hui ʻia ma waho o NATO, kūʻokoʻa a ʻaʻohe pūʻali koa US a makemake paha ʻoe i kahi Kelemania i hui pū ʻia e hoʻopaʻa ʻia me NATO, me ka hōʻoia ʻana ʻaʻole e hoʻololi ka mana o NATO i hoʻokahi iniha ma ka hikina mai kona kūlana i kēia manawa? Ua pane ʻo ia e hāʻawi ana ke alakaʻi Soviet i ka noʻonoʻo maoli i nā koho āpau [… Hiki ke ʻae ʻia ʻo NATO ma kāna wahi i kēia manawa. "

Ua haʻi ʻo Kohl iā Gorbachev ma Pepeluali 10, 1990: "Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei mākou ʻaʻole pono ka NATO e hoʻonui i ka ʻāpana o kāna hana."

ʻO ke kākau ʻōlelo nui o NATO ʻo Manfred Woerner, i Iulai 1991, i haʻi aku i nā ʻelele Kiekie Soviet "ʻo ka ʻaha NATO a ʻo ia ke kūʻē i ka hoʻonui ʻana o NATO."

Me he mea lā ua kūpaʻa ka ʻōlelo a me ka hana hou ʻana a me ka pololei ʻole. Ua loaʻa iā Gorbachev i loko o ke kinikini 100 kapuaʻi ke kiʻekiʻe. Ua hana paha kēlā.
