Since the fall of the USSR, I've observed Russia's attempts to address NATO's expansion peacefully, while the US seems intent on placing weapons on Russia's border and fragmenting the country. After presenting a draft treaty to Biden in December 2021, negotiations failed, leaving war as the only option. Despite a US-backed coup in Ukraine in 2014 and ongoing tensions, Russia has largely pursued diplomacy. However, with increasing US military presence, Russia feels compelled to protect itself against what it perceives as imperialist threats, fearing a potential global conflict.

Video Transcript AI Summary

In December 2021, Putin presented a draft Russia-US security agreement, proposing a halt to NATO enlargement. The speaker contacted Jake Sullivan at the White House, urging negotiation to avoid war, arguing NATO enlargement is counter to US security. The US formally responded in January 2022 that NATO issues are nonnegotiable and solely concern NATO countries and candidates, excluding any third-party influence, including Russia. The speaker likened this stance to a hypothetical scenario of China establishing military bases on the Rio Grande, asserting the US would have no right to interfere. The speaker claims this response was not "unprovoked" and followed 30 years of provocation where the US would only accept doing whatever it wants, wherever it wants, with no one having any say.

Speaker 0: In 2021, Putin met with Biden. And then after the meeting, he put on the table a draft Russia US security agreement. Put it on the table on December 15, 2021. It's worth reading. Very plausible document. I don't agree with some of it. It's it's a negotiable document. Something you would negotiate. I thought the core of it was stop the NATO enlargement. And, I called the White House myself at that point and, said, don't have a war over this. Who'd you talk to? I talked to Jake Sullivan, and he said, don't don't have a war over this. We don't need NATO enlargement for US security. In fact, it's counter to US security. The US should not be right up against the Russian border. That's how we trip ourselves into World War 3. No, Jeff. Don't worry. No war. There's not gonna be a war. Don't worry. We we've got a diplomatic approach to say, Jake, this is a basis for diplomacy. Negotiate. Well, the formal response of the United States is that issues about NATO are nonnegotiable. They're only between NATO countries and NATO candidates. No third party has any stake or interest or say in this. Russia, it's completely irrelevant. Again, to use the analogy, you know, if Mexico and China wanna put Chinese, military bases on the Rio Grande, the United States has no right to interfere. And no interest in it. And no interest in it. And no by letter. And this was the formal US response in January 2022. So unprovoked, not exactly. So could I 30 years of provocation where we could not take peace for an answer one moment. All we could take is we'll do whatever we want, wherever we want, and no one has any say in this at all.

3/4 Russia. US forces get ever closer. Despite a US coup in Ukraine 2014 that saw US-backed nazis bomb & brutalise ethnic Russians, who demanded Russia majorly intervene, apart from small assistance & Crimea, Russia still mostly tried the peaceful diplomatic approach. US never

4/4 sought peace after 9/11 or nukes in Cuba. Russia has been very patient but, at the end of the day, like every other state should, it must protect itself & stop US plans to destroy Russia, & to put US bases in Russia, north of China. Imperialism must stop or it'll be WW3.
