>>43683267>>43683166I'll try to use as little legalese as possible.
As a peace treaty, the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany has a conclusion, the section that goes "confirming we want peace" and whatnot. This section binds the 4 powers into cooperation and shit. Though in practice it is only re-ratifying the OSCE, which came about as a result of the Warsaw Pact, which was created specifically to define the Iron Curtain.
In other words, while Germany was getting unified, the Iron Curtain should be maintained - that is, neither the USSR will expand westward, nor NATO will expand eastward.
Then the USSR dissolved (thus the Warsaw Pact started being disregarded by the west), but Russia took over for the USSR. And while NATO, and later the EU, has been expanding eastward, absorbing old USSR territory, Russia has not invaded any country that wasn't part of the USSR. Only Georgia and Ukraine as far as I recall, which were for sure part of the Iron Curtain and thus, acceptable for the Warsaw Pact, the OSCE, and the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany.
With that said, last time I made some comment that had fuck all to do with vtubers even though it was a reply to a question, quite similarly to the situation of this post, I got a 24h vacation so, shit, I don't know, Kanata playing Dark Souls has been pretty cool, hasn't it?
