International Herald Tribune columnist and frequent contributor to The New Yorker, New York Review of Books, and other publications, William Pfaff was an American in Paris. This quote comes from his book The Irony of Manifest Destiny, The Tragedy of America's Foreign Policy, Walker & Company, New York, 2010, pg. 36.
"The irresponsible Western policy of pushing invitations to NATO onto Ukraine and Georgia stimulated destructive forces in those countries, and in Russia as well, by seeming to promise Western military support for irredentist or separatist ambitions that--as a reckless Georgian regime discovered in August 2008--would never actually be supplied."
