"Presiden Bush Sr. dan Sekretaris Baker, jauh ketika, mengatakan kepada Gorbachev, "Kami tidak akan memajukan NATO ke Eropa Timur. Kami tidak akan - kami tidak akan memajukan NATO ke Jerman Timur, jika Anda mengizinkan penyatuan Jerman. " Di mana janji itu? Di mana logika di balik aliansi militer, yang dirancang pada masa komunisme, sebelum Tembok Berlin runtuh, sekarang berada di Ukraina, di Polandia, di Estonia, di Latvia dan Lithuania? Saya tidak mengerti."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

President Bush Sr. and Secretary Baker, way back when, told Gorbachev, "We are not going to advance NATO into Eastern Europe. We're not going to - we're not going to advance NATO into East Germany, if you allow the unification of Germany." Where is that pledge? Where is the logic behind a military alliance, devised in the time of communism, before the Berlin Wall fell, now being in the Ukraine, in Poland, in Estonia, in Latvia and Lithuania? I don't understand.
