Please support your version of history in which the Soviet Union dissolved based on a promise from the U.S. (?) that NATO would not accept new members

This insane rambling but dig a little deeper
The NATO Secretary General, Manfred Worner, made a speech in Brussells in 1990 saying "The fact that we are ready not to place a NATO army outside of German territory gives the Soviet Union a firm security guarantee."

If you don't believe it then look it up yourself.
