Jack Matlock ，是87-91年美国驻苏联大使。全程经历苏联瓦解的历史根源和背景，当我们现在突然面对俄罗斯掀起二战后最大规模的欧洲乃至世界范围最大规模的战争时，在主流媒体一味把罪魁祸首归咎俄罗斯的时候, 又有多少人了解主流媒体刻意掩盖的某些真相呢？
总结一下Jack Matlock的观点
- 苏联解体的主要原因不是西方的成功，而是苏联内部矛盾没有得到解决并激化， 现在主流描述的里根领导班子的英勇完全是误导，美国赢得冷战运气占了很大比例
- 苏联解体后，北约和美国的北约东进政策，完全错误，是在给未来的世界大战埋下祸根
- 美国1997年，和俄罗斯有协议，不东扩，后来完全爽约，俄罗斯被欺骗
- 在古巴导弹危机的时候，美国和苏联实际协议是苏联从古巴撤导弹，美国从土耳其撤导弹。美国为了国内政党政治的需要，和面子，要苏联默认在字面上只承认苏联从古巴撤导弹，苏联同意了。然后在苏联解体后，关于限制北约东扩的时候，美国如法炮制，忽悠俄罗斯，口头协议，许诺北约不东扩，结果又是爽约。
他后来因为在91年后孤独的强烈反对北约东扩的观点，一直在美国被排挤和打压，没有主流媒体敢请他，他只能退到学术界，写书，现在乌克兰战争爆发，回首往事，他在90多岁的高龄接受学术媒体采访。。。见证了历史。。。

Matlock drew the ire of many Republicans during the 2004 presidential election campaign when he signed the Official Statement of Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change, which criticized the policies of President George W. Bush and endorsed Senator John Kerry for president.[62]
On Jan 4, 2007, Matlock joined with George Shultz, William Perry, Henry Kissinger and Sam Nunn to advocate a goal of a world free of nuclear weapons.[63] On 23 September 2008 after a two-day conference at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, he joined several other former ambassadors to issue a joint statement on how Russia and the United States might move forward in their relations.[64] He has endorsed the Global Zero Initiative, a plan to eliminate all nuclear weapons by 2030.[65] Matlock has also signed an open letter of May 13, 2011 asking the implementors of the New START treaty between the U.S. Russia to make public the locations and aggregate numbers of nuclear weapons, in order to promote transparency and reduce mistrust.[66][67]
On Jan 18, 2011 he co-signed an open letter to President Obama urging a United Nations resolution condemning Israeli settlements in the occupied territory.[68]
Matlock has been openly critical of the American mass media's coverage of the Ukraine crisis. On Jan 26, 2022 he published an review of Richard Sakwa's article "Whisper it, but Putin has a point in Ukraine" on his personal blog, stating agreement that Russia desires a neutral Ukraine and pushing back against claims that Russia seeks to annex Ukraine.[69] On Feb 15, 2022, he published an op-ed in Antiwar.com, questioning the validity of the media narrative around the current state of Russia–Ukraine relations, stating "Maybe I am wrong – tragically wrong – but I cannot dismiss the suspicion that we are witnessing an elaborate charade, grossly magnified by prominent elements of the American media, to serve a domestic political end."[70]

U.S. policy and politics[edit]
Since leaving government service, Matlock has occasionally joined with other experts to criticize U.S. foreign policy. On June 26, 1997, he signed an Open Letter to President Bill Clinton criticizing plans for NATO expansion.[60] His reason for opposition, as given in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was his belief that NATO expansion would preclude significant nuclear arms reduction with Russia, and consequently increase the risk of a nuclear attack by terrorists.[61]Matlock drew the ire of many Republicans during the 2004 presidential election campaign when he signed the Official Statement of Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change, which criticized the policies of President George W. Bush and endorsed Senator John Kerry for president.[62]
