Hastings Lionel Ismay, 1st Baron Ismay — бритишовый генерал, первый в истории генсек НАТО, начало 1950-х.
While Secretary General, Ismay is also credited as having been the first person to say that the purpose of NATO was «to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down», a saying that has since become a common way to quickly describe the alliance.
А теперь смотрим, разве в «to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down» изменилось что-нибудь за 70 лет? ;)
