let me just tell you kind of the lead-up to what happened in the lead-up to the Ukraine war. The Ukraine war, we were lied to because we were told, Oh yeah, this evil Putin trying to take over Europe, and this is his first step to reestablishing the Soviet Empire. And that, you know, it's the same comic. Is that a lie? Yeah, it's the same comic book description we were given of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, which we were just lied into a war. And yeah, it was a slam dunk that he had weapons of mass destruction. Of course, he didn't, and he had nothing to do with terrorism, and he was running the most progressive nation in the Middle East. It was a secularized nation. It wasn't a theocracy. He wouldn't let people, you know, say, I will agree that, you know, maybe in hindsight, that was a mistake. But all then, let me tell you what happened, the real story behind what happened in Ukraine. And let me go back to 1992, because 1992, the walls come down, the

Berlin Wall comes down, and Gorbachev does something very courageous. He goes to Tony Blair and George Bush, and he says, I'm gonna allow you to do something that nobody in their right mind would do, which is I'm going to remove 450,000 Russian troops from East Germany, and I'm going to allow you to unify East Germany under NATO, which is a hostile army. But I want one commitment from you: you will never move NATO further to the east. James Baker, who was then Secretary of State, famously said to him, We will not move NATO one inch to the east. So then, five years later, in 1997, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who's the first of the neocons, comes along and proposes, Let's move NATO right up to the Russian borders. We're into 15 nations. Okay? And at that time, the most important diplomats in American history at that time were George Kennan, who was the architect of the containment policy during the Cold War. He said, If you do that, you're going

to force you're. This is crazy. It's insane. Russia just lost the Cold War. We should be giving them a Marshall Plan and integrating them into the civilized society, the Western society. Don't make them an enemy. Don't treat them like they're still an enemy. It's going to... This is going to force a violent military response from Russia if you do that. Bill Pierce, who was then the Secretary of Defense, threatened Clinton that he would resign if they went ahead with this plan because it was so reckless. And Bill Perry... And Bill Pierce is now the head of the CIA. Bill Perry, who was the US ambassador to Russia at the time, said the same thing. Why are you doing this? This is crazy. So between now and then, we moved NATO into 14 countries. Why do we move NATO in? Because when you move them into a new country, they have to sign a contract that conforms all their weapons purchases to NATO specifications, which means you have to buy the weapons from North Grumman, you know, from our... These big

US military contractors who profit from war. We move it that in the meantime. We walk away unilaterally from two nuclear weapons treaties with Russia. Russia wants those treaties. They're intermediate-range missile systems that you know so that which destabilizes Europe when we when we remove our agreement not to fire missiles on Russia. Then we put Aegis missile systems which are nuclear-capable in Romania and Poland. So the broad listen you know the details and these details are but and and and I'm not taking a side on this but if there was any which a lot of people aren't really advocates of but Trump if anything kind of and whether he was a puppet or not whatever you believe he kind of normalized the Russian relationship kind of right by becoming somewhat of a friend of Putin's. So between that time and the time that Putin there was no NATO movement between the time after the Trump Administration. Yeah well what we did is and we overthrew the government of Ukraine. No he he came into Ukraine.

before we overthrew the government in 2014. USAID, which spent $5 billion, which is a front for the CIA, which everybody acknowledges, went in there and started a revolution called the Maidan Rebellion, where there were these protests that ended with the overthrow of the elected government of Ukraine that wanted to keep Ukraine neutral. Yanukovych wanted to keep NATO neutral. We wanted a pro-US government, so we went in there in 2014, overthrew their government, and placed a government. And by the way, a month before the overthrow, we now have tapes. You can go on the internet and listen to Victoria Nuland, who's the head of the NIAH now, the deputy director of the State Department, choosing the new Ukrainian cabinet that will be put in place after the coup that was still a month away. So she knew the coup was coming a month in advance. But who is she to us? She's us. She's the head of the State Department. She's now, you know.

number three in the State Department, but she's been in the State Department. She's one of the, you know, she's a ni. She's the, she runs the niacon program, which is, you know, continual wars. So, she goes, they, we then pick a new government. The new government comes in, immediately begins attacking the people of Dbas and Lugans, who are Russian-speaking ethnic Russians. They banned the Russian language, which was, there was two languages that were two official languages in Ukraine. They ban that. Violence immediately erupts, and they kill 14. There's a civil war, and really this war started in 2014. There's 14,000, think Russians are killed, and Putin kept saying, You're killing our people. He's trying to get a peace agreement. They finally work out a peace agreement called the Minsk Accords. Germany signs onto it, France signs onto it, England signs onto it, and Russians sign onto it. Zelensky runs in 2019 as president. He runs, he has one platform issue. He's a

comedian and an actor, which I'm not. Is there anything wrong with that? Oh, my wife is one of those. Okay, all right. But he never had any political experience, right? But he wins with 70% of the vote. Why? 'Cause he runs on a peace platform. I'm going to sign the Minsk Accords as soon as he gets in there. Victoria Newland and the, you know, ultra-nationalists, which is a nice way of describing the, you know, the people who run that government now, um, tell him that he can't do it. He can't sign it. So, he pivots, and then, um, and then, uh, Putin then says, Okay, Putin is now faced with this problem. The United States government is now running the government of Ukraine, and he is frightened to death that the US Navy is going to go into Sevastopol, which is, you know, the southern port, has been the Russian port, it's the only warm-water port Russia has for 347 years. So, he then goes right into Ukraine 'cause he's got, I mean, into Crimea.

and takes Crimea without firing a shot, doesn't kill a single person, 'cause the people of Crimea are ethnic Russian and want him back. On him in their Dumas and Lugans then vote 90-90 to one, 90 to 10 to join Russia. Putin says, No, I don't want you. I want Ukraine to be a functioning state, but let's sign the Min Accords. And um, and they won't sign it. So then he signs, he sends in 40,000 troops. I'm almost done with this. It sends in 40,000 troops. That is not somebody who wants to conquer Ukraine. There, it's a nation of 44 million people. All he wanted was us back at the negotiating table. Um, Zinski, we will not help Zinsky negotiate. So he goes to Israel and gets Naali Bennett and Eran in Turkey to sponsor negotiations. And they go and they work out a peace agreement. And pu, they sign it in April of 2022. Putin is withdrawing his troops according to this peace agreement or he

starts withdrawing them. Biden sends over Tony Blair and tells Zinsky to rip up the peace agreement. Now, how do we know this? Because all the negotiators are now talking, including Neftali Bennett, and you can look it up when you're on the internet. You say you spend a lot of time. Look at his speech where he tells you what happened. The lead Ukrainian negotiator this week came clean and said, Yeah, that's what happened. Oh, you know, of course, Russia's been invaded three times through Ukraine. The last time, so is Russia the good guy in your mind? No, no, Russia. It was illegal what Russia did, but we have to understand they don't want this war. We wanted the war, so let me he
