The Nord Stream 2 pipeline has been a topic of controversy, with the US and Germany at odds over its construction. Recently, there have been reports of sabotage, with the CIA warning of possible attacks on the pipelines. Some have speculated that the US government may have been involved in the sabotage, with the Navy and NATO holding a training exercise in the area where the pipelines were later sabotaged. The situation is further complicated by the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with some suggesting that the sabotage may be part of a larger proxy war.

4) @TuckerCarlson: "If you were Vladimir Putin, you would have to be a suicidal moron to blow up your own energy pipelines. Natural gas pipelines are the main source of your power and your wealth and most critically your leverage over other countries. Europe needs your energy."

Video Transcript AI Summary
Vladimir Putin would never blow up his own energy pipelines as they are crucial for Russia's power and leverage over other countries. However, other countries, including the US, have suggested the possibility of sabotaging the Nord Stream pipelines. Joe Biden and Toria Nuland both hinted at stopping Nord Stream if Russia invades Ukraine. While it's hard to believe that the Biden administration would engage in such extreme actions, close allies like Radek Sikorski have thanked the US for the pipeline explosions. The White House has not denied responsibility and instead emphasizes the need for clean energy and reducing gas consumption. If the Biden administration is indeed responsible, it would be a destructive act consistent with their tendency to tear down rather than build.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Vladimir Putin, you would have to be a suicidal moron to blow up your own energy pipelines. That's the one thing you would never do. Natural gas pipelines are the main source of your power and your wealth and most critically, your leverage over other countries. Europe needs your energy, now more than ever with winter approaching. If you can't deliver that energy, then countries like Germany have no need to pay attention to what to want. You're in the middle of a war, an all hands on deck war, so you need all the leverage you can get. Under these circumstances, there is no chance you would blow up Nord Stream 1 or 2, not now, obviously. In fact, it's so obvious that even as our famously dim Terry of State Tony Blinken seemed to acknowledge it. Sabotaging Nord Stream, he said today, is clearly in no one's interest. Right. But really only half right. It is true that blowing up Nord Stream does not help Vladimir Putin. He would not do that. Why would he? But that doesn't mean that other countries wouldn't consider doing it. They would consider it, and we know they have considered it because at least one of them has said so in public. In early February, less than 3 weeks before the war in Ukraine began, Joe Biden suggested on camera that he might take out these pipelines. Watch. Speaker 1: If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the, the the border of Ukraine Again, then, there will be, we there will be no longer a Norristown too. We we will bring it into Speaker 2: Would you but how will you how will you do that exactly since the project in control of the project is within Germany's Speaker 1: We will, I promise you, we'll be able to do it. Speaker 0: Notice how he phrased that. And he's the president. Doesn't phrase things by accident, particularly when he's reading off cards. He didn't say, I will pause the delivery of gas from Russia to Germany. He said, there won't be a Nord Stream 2. We'll put an end to it. We'll take it out. We'll blow it up. How will you do this? He was asked. I promise you, we will be able to do it. They thought this through. And yet those watching, very much including us, didn't take Biden seriously when he said it. This is the president who has declared climate change the most pressing emergency in This is the man who lectures you about using a wood stove or driving an SUV because of its emissions. This is the guy who spent 1,000,000,000 trying to mitigate cow flatulence, because methane. Would that guy really blow up a methane pipeline in the middle of the Baltic Sea? It was hard to imagine. That would be an unimaginably reckless act. That'd be the kind of thing you would do if you wanted to start a nuclear war. It would be insane. And yet, in retrospect, it's obvious they were thinking about this because Joe Biden wasn't the only person to suggest it. Toria Nuland at the State Department said pretty much the same thing. Nuland is a lifelong war cheerleader. She worked to bring about the Iraq invasion, never apologized, kept going. She helped engineer the coup that overthrew the Ukrainian government, some years back. So capable. Clearly, she's capable of anything. But environmental terrorism? Even for Toria Nuland, that seemed too much, too extreme. And yet here she is in January. Speaker 3: With regard to Nord Stream 2, we continue to have, very strong and clear conversations, With our German allies, and I wanna be clear with you today. If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or Another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward. Speaker 0: One way or the other, We'll stop Nord Stream. Now looking back, those words seem chilling 8 months later as natural gas pours into the Baltic Sea and into the atmosphere. So you have to ask, could the Biden administration really do something like this? We can't say for sure. We don't know for sure. We can tell you that close Allies of the Biden White House believe they certainly did do it. Radek Sikorski is a Polish politician. He's chairman of the EU USA delegation in the European Parliament. He's connected. He's also the husband of regime stenographer Ann Applebaum of The Atlantic Magazine. Sikorsky is so close to Joe Biden that he's got a picture of the 2 of them together in his Twitter profile. So when the pipelines blew up, Sikorsky responded immediately. And here's what he wrote. Thank you, USA. So once again, did the Biden administration really do this? It's hard to believe. Given that it's an atrocity, It's effectively an act of terrorism. We don't wanna make that accusation. But we should tell you that, maybe not coincidentally, Today, a brand new pipeline was unveiled. The pipeline that carries non Russian natural gas in roughly the same area as Nord Stream's 1 and 2. This is called the Baltic Pipe. It was inaugurated in Poland. It will carry natural gas from Norway through Denmark to Poland and other countries nearby. And it's likely to do very well since now It has less competition. Making sense? What does the White House say about this? How are they accounting for what happened today? Well, they're not exactly enthusiastically denying responsibility for it. Instead, they're looking at the upside. Here's the president's publicist noting that the destruction of yet another Energy pipeline is yet another opportunity for you to buy an electric car. Speaker 2: As you all know, these pipelines weren't pumping gas into Europe At this time, NS 2 was never operational, as you guys know. NS 1 has not been operational for weeks because, Putin has weaponized, energy. And we have said this many times before. This just drives home the importance of our efforts to work together to get alternative gas Supplies to Europe and to support efforts to reduce gas consumption and accelerate true energy independence by moving to clean energy Economy. Speaker 0: Oh, moving to clean energy, say the people who very may well be responsible for letting methane into the Baltic Sea and into the atmosphere at a scale that most people can't imagine. The people lecturing you about your SUV may have blown up a natural gas pipeline and created one of the great catastrophes of our time and its effect on the environment. If they did this, this will be one of the craziest, most destructive things any American administration has ever done. But it would also be totally consistent with what they do. What do they do? They destroy. These people build nothing. Not one thing. Instead, they tear down and desecrate, from historic statues, to the Constitution, to energy infrastructure. And no one in Congress is trying to stop any of it. They're just preparing for the inevitable fallout.

The decline in output and living standards has led to a rise in prices in the European economy. The sudden cutoff of energy and the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline, which may have been a US and Poland action, have further impacted the situation. Radar evidence suggests that US military helicopters were circling the area, and there were previous threats from the United States to end Nord Stream. Secretary Blinken's statement about it being a tremendous opportunity raises questions. Despite being against the narrative in the West, many people worldwide believe the US is responsible. However, there is a lack of evidence and counterbalance in the media.

Speaker 0: The sharp decline of output in living standards also shows up as a rise of prices. But the the main fact is that the European economy is getting hammered by this, by the sudden cutoff of energy. And now, to make it, definitive, the destruction of the the Nord Stream pipeline which I I would bet was a US action, perhaps US and and Poland. This is But, Jeff, we're gonna stop there. That's a that's Quite a statement as well. Why do you feel Absolutely. That that was a US action? What evidence do you have of that? Well, first of all, there's direct radar evidence that US, helicopters, military helicopters that are normally based in Gdansk, were, circling over this area. We also had the threats From the United States earlier in this year that one way or another, we are going to end Nord Stream. We also have a remarkable statement by secretary Blinken last Friday in a press conference that he says, This is also a tremendous opportunity. It's a strange way to it's sorry. It's a strange way to talk if you're worried about the piracy on international infrastructure vital significance. So I know this runs counter to our narrative.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker expresses concern about the escalating tensions between the US and Russia, emphasizing the importance of avoiding a nuclear conflict. They mention reports that the US discouraged Ukraine from negotiating with Russia at the beginning of the war, despite having a potential deal in place. The speaker criticizes the official narrative that portrays Vladimir Putin as a madman and a threat to Europe, while also downplaying his nuclear threats. They draw parallels to the misrepresentation of Osama bin Laden's motivations and argue for listening to the enemy's perspective. The speaker acknowledges that Putin was wrong to invade Ukraine but argues that there was provocation. They highlight the broken promise of NATO not expanding eastward and the current presence of NATO forces on Russia's border.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: This thing with Russia is just like the craziest thing in the world. Like, the idea that we're actually flirting with a nuclear conflict with Russia is the most important priority in the history of humanity, is that America and Russia do not go to war. There's nothing more important than that. That's that's it. We'll destroy the the human species if we do this. And yet, there's this war right on Russia's border and there's no effort to negotiate going on. There's, like, no effort. In fact, from from very, solid reporting that actually, America through Boris Johnson in in it, told Ukraine not to negotiate with Russia at the very beginning of the war, when they had a deal worked out. They had a they had a deal worked out. It's been reported in multiple sources that they had a deal worked out. And the deal was basically that Vladimir Putin would pull back, he would pull back his troops and leave Ukraine under the condition that the very simple conditions that Ukraine, guaranteed, autonomy for the Donbas region and agreed to never join NATO. And, like, that was a deal. Like, okay. I'm not saying everyone thinks that's the perfect deal, but it's better than what we got right now. Better than nuclear war. And right now, just the other day, dude, the official narrative on this this whole war, it's just like it makes no sense. And, again, like I said, remember, the same people who are pushing this are the ones who are telling you Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and stuff. But The official narrative, Joe, is basically that, okay, so, Vladimir Putin is a madman, a crazy war criminal who's hell bent on, reforming the Soviet Union and this is a real threat that he could do this, but also he's he's getting humiliated in this war in Ukraine. So, like, he's he's losing the poorest country in Europe and he's just getting humiliated and beat back, but he's still a real threat to take over all of Europe. And he's a complete madman, by the way, Joe. But when he says he's gonna use nuclear weapons, don't listen to that. He'd never actually do that even though he's a complete madman. And as everyone says, this this war, the word they use over and over and over again, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, all of them, unprovoked. Vladimir Putin led an unprovoked war in Ukraine. But then, it's just like with Osama Bin Laden, what they did with him then. Don't listen to him. Whatever you do, don't listen to what he's actually saying, because none of that's his motivations. Like, what his motivations are, what we tell you. Osama bin Laden hates us, because we're free. And then, like, Ron Paul would just go, like, yeah. But that's not what he's saying at all. Like, oh, he, Osama bin Laden was so clear about why he hated America. I mean, he's like look, I hate you because you murder innocent civilians in the Muslim world, you prop up brutal dictators in the Muslim world, you prop up Israel who mistreats the Palestinian people, and you have our your, your bases in our holy land in the Arabian Peninsula. Then they're, like, nah, he hates us because we're free. Like, he didn't mention anything about freedom there. And then if you say that, they're, like, well, are you defending Osama Bin Laden? And, like, no. I'm just saying listen to your enemies. There's a reason why he hates us. And if you listen to Vladimir Putin and what he's saying I mean, look, he's wrong for invading, Ukraine. And, I mean, you know me, Joe. I'm the most anti war fuck fucking person there is, and there's no excuse for that. Like, tens of thousands of people have died. It's horrible. And a lot of them are soldiers, but a lot of them are civilians and, but to say he was unprovoked is, like, insane. It's just only people who know nothing about the history of this conflict would say there was no provocation. Did you see the conversation that Roger Waters had with that CNN guy? She had. Right? Because Roger Waters was awesome on that. Yeah. Because he knows what he's talking about, dude. And he he's right about all of that shit. He's look, the the promise, and this is what he was saying, he's absolutely right, that the promise when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and this was, like verbally promised and put in writing, was that NATO would not expand 1 inch to the East and NATO at that point. The line then was through Germany. Right? Like, the the the western half of Germany was in the West and the eastern half was with the Soviet Union and they were, like, we'll let all of these nations, you know, secede and the Soviet Union will collapse and we're giving up on communism, so one of the greatest things that ever happened and the deal was, okay, you do that, then we won't move NATO. We won't move our military alliance into your area that used to be your realm of influence. And every single president since then has moved NATO East to the point that NATO is now on Russia's border. And in Ukraine, even though they didn't officially join NATO, there was always talk of it, Kamala Harris, very right before the start of the war, said we're looking to put Ukraine into NATO and the, the, you know, they put under George W Bush, they put in, in Poland these dual use rocket launchers, there's a big complaint that Vladimir Putin has, that he's like these can be used to get nukes here in a matter of minutes, like this is a this is like a threat to us that we cannot tolerate.

Video Transcript AI Summary
In 2014, there was a coup in Ukraine led by the West. The goal was to attract Ukraine to the West and away from Russia. The Ukrainian government was pro-Russia, but the West wanted a pro-America government. George Soros-funded NGOs supported the militias that overthrew the government. The US State Department was involved in choosing the new government. Ukraine's importance to Putin was a red line. The impeachment of the previous US president and the involvement of the current president's son in Ukraine are connected to this conflict. Burisma, a company linked to the old pro-Russia government, bribed Joe Biden's son. Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate this. Obama didn't send weapons to Ukraine, but Trump did. This context led to Putin invading Ukraine.

Speaker 0: Then in 2014, there was a coup in Ukraine that was completely led by the West. And there's I I don't know if you've ever heard, but, like, like, I think I sent you actually once the, the tape of Gideon Rose, who was the editor for Foreign Fairs Magazine on the old Stephen Colbert Report, show, back when Colbert was hilarious. And he was just openly bragging about what the game is here. And then he was like, well, Ukraine is kinda like the Robin to Russia's Batman. And so our job is to steal Robin away from Batman And make him come over here and join us. And, Vladimir Putin's so stupid that he won't do anything. And then Colbert's in his old character. So he's like, well, shouldn't Obama be spiking the football and saying, yeah, in your face, Putin. And Gideon Rose is like, well, no, no, because then Putin might invade Ukraine. So we wouldn't wanna spike the ball, But they there there's these oh, yeah. Here it is. Let's play it. Let's play it. Go from the beginning. Yeah. Play it from the beginning. There Speaker 1: there's the magazine, Foreign Affairs. Now now now now, Gideon, help me out here. We've got a we've got a battle. The Ukraine, some of them wanna go into the EU, the European Union Right. And some of them wanna stay with Russia. If the Ukraine's not in Europe right now, what continent is it on? Speaker 2: Well, it's part of Eurasia, but it's part of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Bloc. Uh-huh. It's basically Robin to Russia's Batman. And the challenge here the challenge here is to try to attract it to the West to get it to flip sides. Speaker 1: So the the rebels in the streets, what are they fighting for? Speaker 2: They're fighting for a better future. Countries have a developed That Speaker 1: sounds like a political So Speaker 2: but it's actually Countries have to develop over time. And Ukraine, basically, after it the end of the Soviet Union faced two tracks. It could stay as sort of stagnant, Corrupt, authoritarian country tied to Russia, or it could essentially join the West. It could modernize, liberalize, become a democracy. At the last minute, when it looked like it was gonna trade up from its sort of, abusive relationship with its boyfriend from the hood to a a nice Guppy, Speaker 1: You're not loading these choices anyway whatsoever. Speaker 2: It's actually true. When it looked like it was gonna trade up to a better, environment, at the last minute, Putin offered a bribe. Speaker 1: How much? Speaker 2: 15,000,000,000. That's Speaker 1: a lot of cash. Speaker 2: It's a lot of cash. And the president, who himself was tied to the old elites And the eastern part of the country ties to Russia decided to back off the change and go for Russia. Speaker 1: Pirate themed restaurants you can buy with $15,000,000,000? Speaker 2: The problem was the western parts of the country and the younger parts of the country and the more modern liberal parts of the country basically knew that they had no future being Russia's Russia's vassal. Do Do we they took to the streets. Speaker 1: Is America taking sides in this in any way? If if these people the the rebels are winning them right now, right? Speaker 2: Yes. Just recently. Speaker 1: Why isn't Obama spiking the ball in the end zone and calling Putin and saying, hey. You might have won the medal count, but we won the country count, biatch. It's Speaker 2: actually a very good question. And the answer is that we don't want Russia to intervene and kick over the table like a gamer risk And take Ukraine back. Speaker 0: And so Speaker 1: Will they do that? Could he send in troops? Yes. Speaker 2: He could. So we are choosing Does Speaker 1: Ukraine have any troops of their own? Would they fight back? Speaker 2: Yes. But we don't want this to Escalate, and we don't want Russia to crack down. So we wanna basically distract Russia. Oh, look, you have the highest medal count. Oh, you did really well. And that's possible. The Olympics. Speaker 1: There's a shiny object. I'll just take an entire country away from you. Speaker 2: Holy shit. Speaker 1: Now Isn't Speaker 0: that funny? Speaker 1: There's a power vacuum right now. Speaker 2: There's a power vacuum. The opposition is all together, which everybody it's it's easy to agree on getting rid of the bad old regime and much harder To create a stable country in which everybody compromises and moves forward. So Speaker 1: They need a strong leader to move the country forward. Do you know who's always good Speaker 3: at a moment like that? Vladimir Putin. Speaker 1: Do you think he might volunteer to come in and and and help Ukraine Speaker 2: find We don't want we don't want we don't want Putin to get involved in this, and so we are basically we wanna try and involve him in this decision so that he allows Ukraine to go. We actually wanna not We wanna say we want a nonexclusive relationship with Ukraine. You can have a relationship with it too. Speaker 1: You're the only one making this into a girlfriend, boyfriend relationship. Speaker 2: Ukraine is basically Choosing its future between 2 completely different courses of action, and we're trying to blur that choice so the old boyfriend doesn't get too upset when it has the right choice. Speaker 0: So so it's just all these George Soros funded NGOs were funding the the militias on the ground who were overthrowing the the government. And then there's a tape of Victoria Nuland, who's who's, was at the state department at the time, one of the top people at the state department. And she was basically talking about who would be the new government that took over who America didn't want in, who we did want in the new government. So it's not you know, what happened basically was as Gideon Rose was even saying, the Ukrainian government was kind of siding with Russia, or at least a lot more pro Russia, and then we overthrew that government and installed the pro America pro government. And this to Putin, he had said over and over again, was a huge red line for him. Like, Ukraine was the big line. And you could look, Imagine take it from our point of view, if, like, Russia was coming over here and overthrowing the pro America government in Montreal and installing a pro Russia government there. Speaker 2: Right. Speaker 0: Then, you know, like, this would be seen as would you call that an unprovoked attack? Right. You know, if we were to go in there and then go overthrow that government so, again, I'm not justifying what he's doing. But and then the other thing to this, right, That's important to add is, like, you remember the 2 big things that it's so weird no one, like, at least in the in the larger conversation, I don't see anyone connecting these things, is that there's 2 things like involving Ukraine that they were very big, that happened very recently in American history that very much connect to this war. And one is that Our last president was impeached over a thing with Ukraine and like what was that? And then the other thing is, the current president's son was getting paid 1,000,000 of dollars from a company, Burisma, in Ukraine and these things all connect. Basically, what happened was after the 2014 coup. This company, Burisma, they were and by the way, Matt Taibbi has done incredible reporting on this. I highly recommend everyone read his of, his subsects. Incredible. Fantastic. Unbelievable. But so, basically, Burisma was in bed with the old government that had allied with Russia. And so when this government was overthrown, they were very worried because they were like, oh, we were in bed with the old government and now there's this new government who's in there. And so instead of bribing the new government, they just went right to the source and bribed The son of the sitting vice president, bro, Joe Biden, when he was vice president, was in charge of Ukraine policy. Oh my god. So they just went that was why they put him there. Way. And then they put some other, like, CIA guy or something like that on their board. They're just paying them money to just be, like, hey, keep us in with you. And then Trump was telling them to investigate all of this shit. He got on the phone with them and was like, I want to investigate everything that was going on with Joe and Hunter Biden in Ukraine. And Donald Trump did. He got into an area that it was there's an argument it was not okay what he was doing, because he was kinda going like, Maybe you don't get this these, these weapons that I was gonna send in unless you go investigate them and this was his political opponent, so it was a little bit of a shady thing. But then the other story about that is that ultimately, Trump caved and he sent in the weapons to Ukraine. So now, not only did Obama Overthrow the regime when Joe Biden was the point man. Joe Biden was running Ukraine policy. Obama leads this coup, overthrows that government and puts in a pro Western government, then Trump comes in, sends in a whole bunch of weapons to this new government that Obama wouldn't even send in because he was concerned it would provoke, Russia. And then the next president is Joe Biden, the last guy who was the point man on Ukraine, who who was there when this coup happened, then he comes back in. This is all like the context that led to Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine.

Speaker 0: Think it means is that the United States is trying to provoke and sable Ratter with another nuclear power. Right? This is what we were supposed to be afraid of what's gonna happen with Donald Trump. Right? We couldn't have, he's a crazy man who's gonna have his finger on the nuclear button, and now we have Dementia Joe who is saber rattling with 2 nuclear powers, and they get the corporate media sponsored by the military industrial complex to get Americans to cheer it on. And why do Americans cheer it on? Because they have no idea what's actually happening with their foreign policy. And what's worse is they have no idea that they have no idea with that. They don't have any idea what's happening with their foreign policy. We have 400 military bases surrounding China since the Korean War. Do we really think that China is getting ready to invade the United States because I tell you they're not. They make everything we use in the United States. Why? Because the same people who want this war are the same people who took the good jobs that are manufacturing jobs in America, turned them into low paying crappy jobs, and then shipped them to China, and then we get angry at them for the system that we set up if they're so corrupt. Because that's the thing, Americans have no idea how corrupt their government is. They think our government's just regular corrupt, like, oh, Trump gave his son a job or Biden gave his kid a no pa a no show job in the Ukraine war. That's not the whole thing is corrupt. The $800,000,000,000 military budget is $800,000,000,000 of corruption. Why do we have to have 8, 8, 900 military bases around. We're the ones provoking this war. Just like we provoked the war in Ukraine, we are now provoking a war with China. And what who who benefits? I'll tell you right now. Your enemy is not China. Your enemy is not Russia. Your enemy is the military industrial complex, which has been fleecing this country to the tunes of 100 of 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000,000 of dollars. How many times are we gonna have a defense secretary say, hey, we can't account for $2,000,000,000,000 in the Pentagon again. That like, which has happened twice now in my lifetime. So, again, people are being, the the war machine cannot be stopped. Who's running this country? The war machine. It certainly isn't Joe Biden making these decisions. I would like to know who is making the decisions, and I just wanna remind everybody, the United States is the world's terrorist. We just set the Middle East on fire in the last 20 years, and now we're doing a proxy war in Ukraine, which we provoked, NATO provoked, and was just admitted that we provoked it by the former prime minister of Germany, and now we're trying to sable rather with with China, and they're predicting a war. Again, China's not gonna invade us. China's not our enemy. Then we might have an economic war. That's what these are. These are economic wars. These are wars for in Ukraine, it's about liquefied natural gas and making sure Germany and Russia never come together because we fear Russia's, natural resources and manpower, and we fear them getting together with Germany with their technology and their capital, and so that's why we blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. That's why we're doing the Ukraine war. This is all about hegemony, imperialism, and economics. And if there's a marine somewhere, it's there because they're about to steal some natural resources from another country. As everybody's screaming about what a bad guy hide Putin as for invading Ukraine. The United States is currently occupying a third of Syria. And which third is that? It's the third that has the oil. And how do I know we're there to steal their oil? Because the president of the United States said so. And we're not we're not even benefiting economically. That's, I mean, of course, that's the rub. Jimmy Dore, appreciate it. Thank you.

@WarClandestine - Clandestine

J6 was a staged riot so the Deep State could certify a stolen election. But what allowed them to steal the election? Mass mail-in voting, due to a “pandemic”, due to a pathogen that was engineered by humans. Why does Hunter own a biolab company operating in Ukraine? Metabiota was studying bat coronaviruses as part of the USAID PREDICT program from 2014-2019. So essentially Joe Biden, with Hunter as proxy, owns a biolab company, that was studying bat coronaviruses in Ukraine for the 5 years leading up to the release of SARS-CoV-2. Then Joe wins the election, due to fraud, made possible by the human-engineered pathogen, that his own biolab company was studying. Is it starting to make sense now? Is it starting to make sense why the media freaked out and blatantly lied to you about the existence of the biolabs in Ukraine? Why they impeached Trump when he started looking into Ukraine? Why Biden sent hundreds of billions of our tax dollars to defend Ukraine? Why Zelensky ordered his military to burn all docs associated with US biolab companies Metabiota and Battelle? The Deep State created a biological weapon and released it on the world to steal the 2020 Presidential election and establish the biomedical police state. It’s the most sinister crime ever perpetrated on humanity, and the mission never ceases until these demons pay for what they’ve done.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: The first casualty of war is the truth. And if the American people knew the truth about US interference in Ukraine, they might not be so eager to start World War 3. During World War 2, Western Ukraine sided with the Nazis. After to the war. The CIA helped Ukrainian Nazis evade the Nuremberg trials and began operating with them within the Ukraine. After decades of CIA infiltration, the Ukrainian People's Movement emerged in 1989 and gave birth to extremist groups, Swoboda, Trident, and Right Sector. Neo Nazi groups pushing for the ethnic cleansing of Ukraine. Extremist groups cultivated by the CIA, supported by the US State Department, and used by the IMF to bring Ukraine in to heal. When Yanukovych beat NATO backed entered into signing an EU association agreement by the International Monetary Fund in their typical conquer by debt offer that would financially ruin the Ukraine and place them at the mercy of the World Bank. Yanukovych declined their offer. And in today's corrupt world, you're not allowed to say no to the IMF. Funded by Western NGOs associated with George Soros and the CIA, a highly organized color revolution was immediately deployed against Yanukovych. Leaked phone calls reveal that the US State Department was orchestrating this coup d'etat from within the US embassy with support from vice president Joe Biden. Speaker 1: Come back to me, VFR saying you need Biden. And I said probably tomorrow for an attaboy and I get the deeds to stick. So Biden's willing. Speaker 0: So you had this remarkable phone call where you have these 2 senior officials of the US government apparently talking about a coup or how they Planning to restructure the government of Ukraine. Speaker 1: Fuck the EU. No. Exactly. Speaker 0: Supporting a criminal war against Russia does not make you a patriot. It makes you a useful idiot of the globalist banking cartel. The very same entities waging war on all of humanity with vaccine passports and experimental jam. Speaker 2: World's biggest investment fund says the war in Ukraine has put an end to globalization as we know it. Larry Fink is the chief executive of BlackRock. Countries and businesses are cutting ties with Russia. They're also imposing sanctions against the country, Including cutting off its central bank from its foreign reserves. Fink predicts that with Russia's decoupling from the world, governments and companies will reevaluate their supply chains And even consider reconsider the dependency on other nations. Speaker 3: See, the truth is slowly gonna come out about what's really going on. And what's really going on in is this. Ukraine has been the center of, of the globalists for decades decades decades, 70 years at least. CIA, which is not a good organization. They're they're the the implementers of deep state, let's say. They've been working this in the Ukraine for 70 years, building up A resistance to everybody and everything. Why? Because they needed to bring the Soviet Union down, but they also want the resources that are in the Ukraine. That's what this is all about. Particularly Eastern Ukraine, massive natural resources that CIA goes in, gets control of, and American business interests, and they're not business, they're just robber barons. They're not legitimate businessmen. They just wanna steal, and that's what goes on. And so they're taking that away from from the from Russia and the Ukraine. And on top of that, it's the center of the deep state. And so by Vlad Putin going in, he's cutting the head off the snake. Once the head comes off, The whole beast will die. So that's what's actually going on, folks. So please, they are gonna tell you their stories about, possible nuclear war, and Vlad's the bad man. This is the war with Russia that they wanted with Hillary Clinton as president because she lost. The whole war against Russia was postponed. This is the plan they always had. Speaker 4: This has been in the works Going back to at least 2015, 2016, it was somewhat set back by the election of Donald Trump in the United States because Trump was not a globalist, But he was opposed to many of these schemes. What we're seeing now is a merger Of the Great Reset, the Green New Deal, the policies on on COVID, and a number of other aspects of of Government policy which is being directed not on behalf of sovereign governments, but against sovereign governments. And this is why we're seeing the situation in Ukraine. And what is Russia's crime? Putin has asked for 20 years for security guarantees for Russia. And these guarantees include no further eastward expansion of NATO, Which was promised to Gorbachev in 1990, which was promised again to Yeltsin in 1994. And yet NATO keeps moving to the very borders of Russia. Now they're talking about, as Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, did at the Munich Security Conference, That Ukraine has the right to develop nuclear weapons. And for Putin, Russia's security is directly threatened by two aspects of the Ukraine situation. The corruption, which includes prominent Nazis in positions of the defense and security forces of Ukraine, The European Union actually acknowledged in 2018 that the defense and security forces of Ukraine were heavily infiltrated by Neo Nazis marching behind the banners of the Ukrainian SS which joined Hitler in the 19 forties. And when Putin said you need of Ukraine, he was called crazy. But the idea of a government, corrupt government, being used not To defend the Ukrainian people's freedom and sovereignty. And I hate to see what's being done to the people of Ukraine right now in this war, But they are the cannon fodder for a NATO and US and British drive to bring down Russia and China. Why? Because they're the 2 leading powers in the world that oppose giving up sovereignty to this Green New Deal and the Great Reset. Speaker 5: I I don't have too many remedies. The the remedies have to be discussed through dialogue by the stakeholders of our global system, But, I just see the need for such a dialogue and I see the need for action. I see the need for a great reset. Speaker 1: To what extent would a reset be brought about by a change in the White House, the election of Joe Biden, for instance? Speaker 5: I don't know. We first, we shouldn't speculate about the outcome of the election. We will see, beginning of November and some we we We can. In any case, we can and the World Economic Forum, is a very open and And as a open platform to integrate everybody who is willing to address those issues In a spirit, which means, to exercise here, true global citizenship.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The video discusses the US's history of overthrowing democratically elected governments and its involvement in Ukraine. It highlights the CIA's support for neo-Nazis and far-right extremists in Ukraine, leading to the 2014 coup and the rise of the Svoboda party. The video also mentions the Azov battalion, a neo-Nazi militia that is part of Ukraine's official armed forces. It criticizes the biased portrayal of the conflict by Western media and highlights the financial gains made by the military-industrial complex. The video argues that Putin's actions in response to the coup were predictable and that much of the information presented about the conflict is propaganda.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Know that one time when the US helped neo nazis overthrow democratically elected president? Do you know what country I'm talking about? But before we get started, you should brush up on basic facts about the US's involvement in regime change throughout history because we've been doing this all over the world for more than a 100 years now. Although, we sped up considerably after World War 2 with the founding of the CIA. That brings us to Allen Dulles, the godfather of the CIA, who was a very wealthy and influential businessman And largely because of his deep ties to big Nazi money before and after World War 2, and I guess during too Actually. And after World War 2, the CIA helped set up a whole bunch of what they call stay behind operations, which is just a way of saying they funded that were mostly leftovers from the Nazi party in Europe because the Nazis hated communism. And so they just, like, yeah, these guys are useful. Let's Keep them around. We also poached all the Nazi scientists during operation paperclip. And so all of that is just to set the stage and remind you That the US is great at overthrowing governments, usually democratically elected ones. Usually because they are too friendly with Russia, And the anecdote is usually to put dictators and far right extremists in power that will bend the need of the US. And also just to remind you, refresh you that The CIA and the US in general have no qualms about working with Nazis and Neo Nazis. So now it's time to learn the real history of the war in Ukraine. Because apparently, Putin nearly bored Tucker to death with a 2 hour long history lesson. So we'll do it faster and with sources. Maybe I'll get my very own Some your article from the Daily Beast. So in 2010, Ukraine elected this guy, Viktor Yanukovych, to be their president. In what were hailed as remarkably democratic elections, It's giving me awful state of Ukraine at the time. Yanukovych happens to be from Donetsk Oblast where he was previously the governor? That would be this dark red one where Russian is the native language of more than 75% of the population. In fact, this whole side of Ukraine is largely ethnically Russian. And he was logically very pro Russia. I mean, like, they are literal neighbors. But anyways, that was not cool with the US. And it was also not cool with all of the Nazis in Ukraine, like Tons of Nazis. And if there's one thing the CIA is good at, it's at not letting a good revolution go to waste. And they actually were totally out in the open this time. John McCain himself went and dined with the opposition leaders including the far right Scoboda party which would eventually take over. He literally shared a stage at the public protest with the leader of this party? This is back in December of 2013 leading up to the US backed coup in 2014. And back then, everyone knew that Ukraine had a real Nazi Here's the EU talking about it back in 2014. The Svoboda party is a far right party launched in 1991 and it took on this swastika like symbol Composed of I and an n, which stood for Idea Nazi or idea of the nation. Literally, that was their logo Until they had a whole rebranding later on. Like for real, this was an actual Nazi symbol used by Nazi divisions called the Wolfsnagel during World War 2 and that is The Svoboda party's symbol. This article is also from 2014 originally, updated in 2017. Regrettably, the vaccine against the virus of Nazism produced at the Nuremberg tribunal is losing its original strength in some parts of European countries. That's a quote from Vladimir Putin. Remember when Canada got all kerfuffle because they accidentally had a standing ovation for a Nazi war criminal when Baby boy Ukraine came to give a little speech and they all stood up and applauded the old Nazi war criminal. If that was confusing to you as to why and how that would happen, the answer is because A ton of people from Ukraine are old Nazi war criminals. Ukraine is full of Nazis. In fact, Most of Ukraine's military fighting power is because of Azov battalion, which is the direct descendant of the Svoboda party that took Over in the 2014 coup, Azov actually reached out around the world and recruited Neo Nazis from foreign countries to come get training to fight in Ukraine. They were banned from Facebook for racist and anti semitic content. They titled one of their pages gas chambers. But when Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and we all wanted to make a lot of money off of it, some media outlets changed the way they describe days off And Ukraine in general. German state owned media outlets like Deutsche Welle, which once described Azov as a Neo Nazi regiment soon began labeling allegations of Neo naz as Russian propaganda. My. That's a familiar story. Because the United States literally openly financially and politically supported A neo Nazi militia terrorist group to take over the government of a democratic Ukraine. And then Crimeans who are ethnically Russian voted overwhelmingly to join Russia, and then the bulk of western media abandoned any hint of even Remotely balanced journalism. And now we're comparing Putin to Hitler and completely ignoring the actual Neo Nazis that are committing pogroms on the streets of Ukraine? The leader of Ukraine's most distinguished fighting battalion, Azov battalion, Once wrote that Ukraine's mission is to quote, lead the white races of the world in a final crusade against the semi led Untermenschen. He is now a deputy in Ukraine's parliament. And the stories of Ukrainian nazism are not coming from Russian media. They're coming from western media like Radio Free Europe, like Jewish Organizations, like the World Jewish Congress, and the Simon Wentz, whatever, Center. Watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House. Post mid on Ukraine is the world's only nation to have a Neo Nazi Formation in its official armed forces. And sorry, if you don't know what I mean when I say post Maidan Ukraine, that might be because they decided on a more like Nice sounding Wikipedia name. They called it the revolution of dignity instead of the original name, the Maidan Revolution. Because when Neo Nazis Please take over a democratic government. It should be called the revolution of dignity. So now put yourself in Putin's shoes in 2014. The CIA has just overthrown the government of your next door neighbor. Think Russia overthrowing the government of Mexico. No. And they have installed a Nazi party as the head of it. And then that Nazi party is going through the streets where they're all ethnic Russians and killing people? I mean, not to mention the NATO connection that now NATO is talking about getting in on Ukraine. I'm not trying to say that Putin is a good guy or that he's never done anything bad. I'm trying to say that literally every single thing that you could say that Putin has done that is bad, The United States government also does all the time. And from a geopolitics standpoint, the outcome of that is obvious. It started in 2014, And no shit Putin was gonna do something about it. Everyone knew that Putin was gonna do something about it ever since 2014. But We didn't ignore it because we didn't think it was true. The United States did it because we wanted this outcome. We're gonna briefly skip over the whole part where the Biden family, the Biden vice presidency was actually very distinctly involved in the build up to the Ukraine war throughout his vice presidency and all of the kickbacks that his family got from that involvement? And we'll skip straight To the money that is getting raked in by the military industrial complex ever since the start of the Ukraine war in 2022. US government approved arms sales just to NATO allies Went from 15,000,000,000 to 28,000,000,000. Private sales directly from military contractors to foreign governments went from a 103,000,000,000 to a 153,000,000,000. And all the while, all the corporate shill ass media reports it as though beating Russia in the arms market is part of a wider effort to isolate Moscow and its manufacturing capacity to weaken its forces arrayed against Ukraine? Quick. Enrich the defense contractors for democracy. The only way to save democracy It's to give 1,000,000,000 of dollars to Lockheed Martin. Otherwise, Putin is gonna win. Except that Putin has said many times that he is willing to negotiate. He's happy to negotiate. He doesn't even wanna take over all of Ukraine. He just wants that port right there and these Russians to be safe and NATO to stay the fuck away. He does not give a shit about Ukraine. He definitely doesn't give a shit about invading any other countries. He does not want that. Russia is the biggest country in the world By a long shot. And almost all of it is uninhabited. They have more natural resources than anyone else. They have tons of their own problems to deal with, And they certainly don't want a nuclear conflict with other major world powers. And to this day, basically everything that Americans have been told about this conflict It's complete propaganda. And the number one rule of propaganda is you need a boogeyman. Once the cold war ended, they needed a new one. So we had Osama bin Laden. Once Osama bin Laden ended, they needed a new one. So we went back to Putin. Nancy Pelosi actually tried to claim that Pro Palestine protests were Putin's propaganda machine. Anything that they don't like is because of Putin, Which is why they came out guns blazing against this interview because everything that they have been telling you about this is propaganda and lies.

The MSM now admits that Ukraine is a CIA proxy, implying that Putin's invasion was not unprovoked. The US brought war to Putin's doorstep, contradicting Western media's portrayal. Russia's accusations of Western control in Ukraine were correct, justifying their attack. Russia's attempts at non-violent resolution were denied, and the West censored independent journalists exposing the truth. It's a tough pill to swallow, but Russia is not the villain here. Recognizing this will help clean up the mess.

@WarClandestine - Clandestine

In case you didn’t hear, the MSM are now admitting that Ukraine is a CIA proxy. Meaning Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was NOT unprovoked, and that the US are the expansionists, overthrowing sovereign nations for geopolitical gain. The US brought war to Putin’s doorstep. Meaning that every single thing Western media told you about the war in Ukraine, was based on a lie. All the analysis you heard from pompous MSM talking-heads, was based on the presumption that Putin did this unprovoked, just because he is “literally Hitler”. None of it was true. Turns out, Putin’s accusations of Western intelligence controlling Ukraine were correct, therefore his attack is more than justified. Just imagine if Russia funded Nazi militias in Canada, started a civil war, overthrew the government, then installed their own puppet regime, then put Russian intelligence bases and biolabs all over our northern border. Every American would be calling to flatten Canada and Russia. Well that’s exactly what the US did to Russia, and they are pissed. Russia tried to join NATO, they were denied. Russia tried to negotiate non-violent means to resolve the conflict, they were denied. Russia tried to present their grievances of US bioweapon production and espionage to the UN, they were denied. Russia tried to go the diplomatic route, and the West just cried “Russian disinformation”, while they were the ones pushing disinformation. The West also went out of their way to censor independent journalists like me who have been telling you this from day one, because if the public knew this detail the entire time, they wouldn’t have supported sending our tax dollars there. This is going to be a tough pill to swallow for many Americans, but Russia are not the bad guys in this scenario. The West are, and it’s not even close. The sooner we all recognize this, the sooner we can clean up the mess.

A few years ago I made a series of documentaries on the war in Ukraine. This relatively short video is a summary of how it really began in 2014. An unelected government began killing its "own" people in the south-east of the country after visits from Joe Biden and John Brennan. https://t.co/BbPFi84tbQ

Video Transcript AI Summary
Masters of war build guns, sparking protests turned revolution in Ukraine. Yanukovych's refusal to sign EU agreement led to his removal. Russian troops enter Ukraine, Crimea votes to join Russia. Pro-Russian militants seize buildings, US offers aid. Conflict escalates, ceasefire broken, military action resumes. Attacks in Donetsk kill civilians, blamed on Ukrainian forces. Violence continues, leaving casualties in its wake. Peace remains elusive in the midst of turmoil.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Come, you masters of war. You that build up guns. Speaker 1: Is there now going to be some sort of mass public Speaker 2: protest movement? Speaker 3: How does this suddenly morph from a protest into a revolution, as the protesters are calling, looking to topple an elected government. Speaker 2: It's not an easy job to topple the government, to change the president, to sign an association agreement, but this is our agenda. We are waiting that president Yanukovych return back to Brussels and sign up agreement. Speaker 4: Good to Speaker 0: see you. We're here to come back. Would you like some bread? Speaker 4: Signing the association agreement with the EU would also put Ukraine on a path to strengthening the sort of stable and predictable business environment that investors require. Speaker 5: The free world is with you. America is Speaker 4: with you. I am with you. It would be a huge shame to see 5 years worth of work and preparation go to waste if the if the AA is not signed in the near future. So it is time to finish the job. Speaker 6: We have been actively engaged in what's been happening in the Ukraine. Speaker 4: I don't think cleats should go into the government. I don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's a good idea. I think Yats is the guy who's got the economic experience, the governing experience. Obviously not gonna comment on private diplomatic conversations. Speaker 5: These, brave Ukrainians took to the streets in order to stand peacefully against tyranny. Speaker 6: And we expect, the Ukrainian government, to show the strength, to not resort to violence and dealing with, peaceful protesters. Speaker 5: So instead, they were met with snipers who picked them off one after the other. Speaker 7: From one of the upper windows of the hotel, a shock rang out. I saw the shooter. He was wearing one of the protesters' green helmets. Speaker 8: So that there is a stronger and stronger understanding that behind snipers, they were it was not Yanukovych, but it was somebody from the new coalition. Some journalists who were with me, they saw during the day day that one member of parliament was just beat in front of parliament, pinning credit skies with the guns on the streets. Speaker 7: In special session, Ukraine's parliament voted to remove president Viktor Yanukovych. Speaker 8: Because the richest party also said, well, you will see that if the people from the eastern part of Ukraine will will really wake up and, and and and will start to demand their rights. Speaker 9: And the latest is that several 100 Russian troops, have arrived arrived at a Ukrainian military base not far from here where there is now a confrontation. Speaker 5: You just don't invade another country on phony pretext, in order to assert your interests. Speaker 10: Pro Russian demonstrators came here. They swept their way in. They even raised the Russian flag, but they've now been kicked out. The deputy mayor of this city has told the BBC that he thinks a referendum may be a chance to calm tensions here, to give pro Russian population chance to decide its own status. Speaker 11: Crimeans voted overwhelmingly on Sunday to break away from Ukraine and join Russia in a referendum the west condemned as Speaker 2: the army. Speaker 6: In Ukraine, pro Russian militants have seized a second building in the eastern city of Sloviansk, the local headquarters of the Speaker 12: state security service. Not just the police headquarters or an administration building that's occupied. Here in Sloviansk, the whole city is under control of pro Russia forces because they've got checkpoints on all Speaker 6: the entrances and access. On his Facebook page, the Ukrainian interior minister promised a very tough response. He said there's a difference between protesters and terrorists. Speaker 13: Various people have said that John Brennan, the head of the CIA, traveled possibly under another name to Kyiv. And I just wanted to know, did he travel there? Does it have anything to do with this action? Speaker 5: Just to No. It it happened only in in the in some commands from Moscow. I don't know. So Thank you. Speaker 14: Were you in Kyiv recently? Speaker 15: I was in Kyiv a couple of weeks ago. Yes. Speaker 14: Mhmm. Could you tell us what your mission was? Speaker 15: I was out there to, interact with, our Ukrainian partners and friends. Speaker 7: Ukraine's acting president has announced the start of an anti terrorist operation in the east of the country. Today was Speaker 2: the day Kyiv sent in troops Speaker 7: to try to wrest back control of the east. Speaker 2: Is there not a grassroots movement, though, by Russian speakers in Eastern Ukraine who are not happy with the current situation? We do have difference in my country. That's true. Every country has differences, but we are ready to bridge all the difference. Speaker 16: Easter Sunday was anything but peaceful in this corner of Eastern Ukraine. At least 2 people were killed in a gunfight near Slovians at the snake ship's checkpoint manned by pro Russian separatists. They say they were attacked by a convoy of ultranationalists called the right sector whose power base is in the west. Speaker 17: It's not clear what happened here, but this is exactly the kind of incident that Speaker 18: could really blow this situation up into a civil war. US officials say the vice president's in Kyiv to boost economic and political assistance to authorities there. Speaker 19: Speaking to its new pro western leaders, US vice president Joe Biden pledged to help Ukraine through the crisis, including an aid package of $50,000,000. Speaker 20: We can help in stabilizing and strengthening Ukraine's economy by helping you withstand the unfair economic pressure being thrust upon you. We stand ready to do that, and I say Speaker 15: ready. Ukrainian people deserve to, determine their future. Again, free from outside interference, and that's what the United States is trying to do. And, to the extent that we here at CIA can work with our partners in Ukraine and other areas to to give them the, the information, the the capabilities that they need in order to bring stability and security back to that country, we will do that. Speaker 13: So tell me, why are you here? Who are these people? Speaker 17: There was a fire in the trade union's building in Odessa where the pro Russian protesters have a base of operations. Apparently, at least 30 or in the thirties, numbers of people who died, some figures are 30 one. Other people are saying 38 people at least died, many of them from smoke inhalation and from jumping from the upper stories of the building. It's not clear exactly what started the, the the blaze, and it's not clear who exactly were was caught in the fire. But as I said, there were a number of, pro Russian protesters who was probably there. Speaker 5: We also are are very concerned about efforts of pro Russian separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk, to organize, frankly, a contrived, a bogus independence referendum on May 11th. Speaker 1: Ukrainian forces knew what they wanted, and they came in force. Their assault on Mariupolsk police station sustained. Ukraine says it's a legitimate military action to evict pro Russian militias out of buildings, and many here said nothing more than the action of a fascist regime supported by the west. Rocket propelled grenades fired in city center streets, shooting where yesterday people were shopping. They've recaptured the police station alright, but in saving it, they destroyed it. Speaker 21: This is quite a statement. Ukrainian forces have now left, leaving this behind them. The point they're making, Mariupol, is one time they are not going to surrender without a plan. Speaker 22: Polling stations are being prepared across Donetsk for Sunday's referendum, a vote widely condemned as illegitimate. It's unclear what a yes result would lead to. The question is, do you support the People's Republic of Donetsk? Speaker 4: We do not recognize, the illegal referendum that took place in portions of Donetsk and Luhansk, over the weekend. It was illegal under Ukrainian law and an attempt to create further division and disorder in the country. Speaker 23: We will not recognize the annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol. Likewise, we do not recognize the so called referenda of yesterday. Speaker 24: So if you can't get them to talk to the table, how are you going to take back those areas that they control without the first few months of your presidency being drenched in blood? Speaker 13: Yeah. Those are helicopters now moving in on the airport. Speaker 4: The day after Ukrainian forces launched air strikes to drive separatists from the airport, Speaker 5: Donbas, Speaker 2: defend and clean and bring the peace in the Donbas, including the fighting against terror. This is the one of the main function of the state, to defend the Speaker 0: people. Speaker 3: The bloody aftermath of a strike on the separatist headquarters in the heart of Luhansk. 5 women killed, 3 men, officials say. Speaker 13: Some people were saying there was kind of there was an airstrike in Luhansk, that there was some bomb drop on the administrative headquarters of the separatists. Is it true? No. Speaker 3: The Ukrainians claim that this had nothing to do with a military aircraft which was circling overhead at the time of the attack. But from what we can tell, this looks like very heavy cannon fire from an aircraft strafing through this square. Speaker 5: No bombing, either by from airplanes or artillery were permitted by the, the, you know, leaders of the Ministry of Defense. Speaker 25: So everything that the Ukrainians are doing, I just want to understand your position correctly. Everything that they are doing is actually self defense. Correct? Speaker 26: They're I mean, look. I mean, I don't wanna use the term self defense, but this is Ukrainian territory that they are defending. Speaker 27: US president Barack Obama has offered Kyiv financial and security support during his first meeting with his newly elected Ukrainian counterpart. Speaker 0: Also, Giovanni, my dear friend. I so was together. You were fighting the sun. And when I ask you why, you raise your sticks and cry, and I follow my friend. How did you Speaker 7: These volunteers have joined the so called Azov battalion, a special force raised by the interior ministry in Kiev. Speaker 17: A few hours left until the end of the ceasefire. Speaker 21: Oh, Speaker 10: A truce ends. Within hours, military action resumes. Speaker 7: This morning, an active phase of the anti terrorist operation has been renewed. Our armed forces are launching strikes against the terrorist bases. Speaker 14: Multiple rockets hit a residential area in Western Donetsk called the Petrovsky District, killing 7 people, including 2 children. But in 4 attacks against populated areas that human rights was investigated in Donetsk, the evidence strongly indicates that Ukrainian government forces were responsible. Speaker 26: Among the dead, a female guard at the Lugansk Southern District School killed by Speaker 13: shrapnel. Speaker 0: But built it too strong. You play with my wallet like it's your little toy. You put a gun in his head, and you hide from his hands. And you turn and run farther when the basketball is fine.

The New York Times reveals a decade-long intelligence partnership between the C.I.A. and Ukraine, which has transformed Ukraine into a vital intelligence-gathering hub against Russia. The C.I.A. provides intelligence for targeted missile strikes, tracks Russian troop movements, and supports spy networks. The partnership has been instrumental in Ukraine's defense against Russia, including providing intelligence on the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 and assisting in countering Russian election meddling. The C.I.A. also helped train Ukrainian spies and commando forces. The relationship remains crucial as Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues.

1) Nestled in a dense forest, the Ukrainian military base appears abandoned and destroyed, its command center a burned-out husk, a casualty of a Russian missile barrage early in the war. But that is above ground. Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive drone threading through Russian air defenses from a point in central Ukraine to a target in the Russian city of Rostov. The underground bunker, built to replace the destroyed command center in the months after Russia’s invasion, is a secret nerve center of Ukraine’s military. There is also one more secret: The base is almost fully financed, and partly equipped, by the C.I.A. “One hundred and ten percent,” Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy, a top intelligence commander, said in an interview at the base. Now entering the third year of a war that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, the intelligence partnership between Washington and Kyiv is a linchpin of Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. The C.I.A. and other American intelligence agencies provide intelligence for targeted missile strikes, track Russian troop movements and help support spy networks. But the partnership is no wartime creation, nor is Ukraine the only beneficiary. It took root a decade ago, coming together in fits and starts under three very different U.S. presidents, pushed forward by key individuals who often took daring risks. It has transformed Ukraine, whose intelligence agencies were long seen as thoroughly compromised by Russia, into one of Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the Kremlin today.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

2) The listening post in the Ukrainian forest is part of a C.I.A.-supported network of spy bases constructed in the past eight years that includes 12 secret locations along the Russian border. Before the war, the Ukrainians proved themselves to the Americans by collecting intercepts that helped prove Russia’s involvement in the 2014 downing ([1]) of a commercial jetliner, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. The Ukrainians also helped the Americans go after the Russian operatives who meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Around 2016, the C.I.A. began training an elite Ukrainian commando force — known as Unit 2245 — which captured Russian drones and communications gear so that C.I.A. technicians could reverse-engineer them and crack Moscow’s encryption systems. (One officer in the unit was Kyrylo Budanov, now the general leading Ukraine’s military intelligence.) And the C.I.A. also helped train a new generation of Ukrainian spies who operated inside Russia, across Europe, and in Cuba and other places where the Russians have a large presence. The relationship is so ingrained that C.I.A. officers remained at a remote location in western Ukraine when the Biden administration evacuated U.S. personnel in the weeks before Russia invaded in February 2022. During the invasion, the officers relayed critical intelligence, including where Russia was planning strikes and which weapons systems they would use. “Without them, there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,” said Ivan Bakanov, who was then head of Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency, the S.B.U.

3) The details of this intelligence partnership, many of which are being disclosed by The New York Times for the first time, have been a closely guarded secret for a decade. In more than 200 interviews, current and former officials in Ukraine, the United States and Europe described a partnership that nearly foundered from mutual distrust before it steadily expanded, turning Ukraine into an intelligence-gathering hub that intercepted more Russian communications than the C.I.A. station in Kyiv could initially handle. Many of the officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence and matters of sensitive diplomacy. Now these intelligence networks are more important than ever, as Russia is on the offensive and Ukraine is more dependent on sabotage and long-range missile strikes that require spies far behind enemy lines. And they are increasingly at risk: If Republicans in Congress end military funding to Kyiv, the C.I.A. may have to scale back. To try to reassure Ukrainian leaders, William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director, made a secret visit to Ukraine last Thursday, his 10th visit since the invasion. From the outset, a shared adversary — President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia — brought the C.I.A. and its Ukrainian partners together. Obsessed with “losing” Ukraine to the West, Mr. Putin had regularly interfered in Ukraine’s political system, handpicking leaders he believed would keep Ukraine within Russia’s orbit, yet each time it backfired, driving protesters into the streets. Mr. Putin has long blamed Western intelligence agencies for manipulating Kyiv and sowing anti-Russia sentiment in Ukraine. Toward the end of 2021, according to a senior European official, Mr. Putin was weighing whether to launch his full-scale invasion when he met with the head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the C.I.A., together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow. But the Times investigation found that Mr. Putin and his advisers misread a critical dynamic. The C.I.A. didn’t push its way into Ukraine. U.S. officials were often reluctant to fully engage, fearing that Ukrainian officials could not be trusted, and worrying about provoking the Kremlin.

4) Yet a tight circle of Ukrainian intelligence officials assiduously courted the C.I.A. and gradually made themselves vital to the Americans. In 2015, Gen. Valeriy Kondratiuk, then Ukraine’s head of military intelligence, arrived at a meeting with the C.I.A.’s deputy station chief and without warning handed over a stack of top-secret files. That initial tranche contained secrets about the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet, including detailed information about the latest Russian nuclear submarine designs. Before long, teams of C.I.A. officers were regularly leaving his office with backpacks full of documents. “We understood that we needed to create the conditions of trust,” General Kondratiuk said. As the partnership deepened after 2016, the Ukrainians became impatient with what they considered Washington’s undue caution, and began staging assassinations and other lethal operations, which violated the terms the White House thought the Ukrainians had agreed to. Infuriated, officials in Washington threatened to cut off support, but they never did. “The relationships only got stronger and stronger because both sides saw value in it, and the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv — our station there, the operation out of Ukraine — became the best source of information, signals and everything else, on Russia,” said a former senior American official. “We couldn’t get enough of it.” This is the untold story of how it all happened.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

5)  A Cautious Beginning The C.I.A.’s partnership in Ukraine can be traced back to two phone calls on the night of Feb. 24, 2014, eight years to the day before Russia’s full-scale invasion. Millions of Ukrainians had just overrun the country’s pro-Kremlin government and the president, Viktor Yanukovych, and his spy chiefs had fled ([2]) to Russia. In the tumult, a fragile pro-Western government quickly took power. The government’s new spy chief, Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, arrived at the headquarters of the domestic intelligence agency and found a pile of smoldering documents in the courtyard. Inside, many of the computers had been wiped or were infected with Russian malware. “It was empty. No lights. No leadership. Nobody was there,” Mr. Nalyvaichenko said in an interview. He went to an office and called the C.I.A. station chief and the local head of MI6. It was near midnight but he summoned them to the building, asked for help in rebuilding the agency from the ground up, and proposed a three-way partnership. “That’s how it all started,” Mr. Nalyvaichenko said.

6) The situation quickly became more dangerous. Mr. Putin seized ([3]) Crimea. His agents fomented ([4]) separatist rebellions that would become a war in the country’s east. Ukraine was on war footing, and Mr. Nalyvaichenko appealed to the C.I.A. for overhead imagery and other intelligence to help defend its territory. With violence escalating, an unmarked U.S. government plane touched down at an airport in Kyiv carrying John O. Brennan, then the director of the C.I.A. He told Mr. Nalyvaichenko that the C.I.A. was interested in developing a relationship but only at a pace the agency was comfortable with, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials. To the C.I.A., the unknown question was how long Mr. Nalyvaichenko and the pro-Western government would be around. The C.I.A. had been burned before in Ukraine. Following the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine gained independence and then veered between competing political forces: those that wanted to remain close to Moscow and those that wanted to align with the West. During a previous stint as spy chief, Mr. Nalyvaichenko started a similar partnership with the C.I.A., which dissolved when the country swung back toward Russia. Now Mr. Brennan explained that to unlock C.I.A. assistance the Ukrainians had to prove that they could provide intelligence of value to the Americans. They also needed to purge Russian spies; the domestic spy agency, the S.B.U., was riddled with them. (Case in point: The Russians quickly learned about Mr. Brennan’s supposedly secret visit. The Kremlin’s propaganda outlets published a photoshopped image of the C.I.A. director wearing a clown wig and makeup.) Mr. Brennan returned to Washington, where advisers to President Barack Obama were deeply concerned about provoking Moscow. The White House crafted secret rules that infuriated the Ukrainians and that some inside the C.I.A. thought of as handcuffs. The rules barred intelligence agencies from providing any support to Ukraine that could be “reasonably expected” to have lethal consequences.

7) The result was a delicate balancing act, the C.I.A. was supposed to strenghten Ukraine's intelligence agencies without provoking the Russians. The red lines were never precisely clear, which created a persistent tension in the partnership. In Kyiv, Mr. Nalyvaichenko picked a longtime aide, General Kondratiuk, to serve as head of counterintelligence, and they created a new paramilitary unit that was deployed behind enemy lines to conduct operations and gather intelligence that the C.I.A. or MI6 would not provide to them. Known as the Fifth Directorate, this unit would be filled with officers born after Ukraine gained independence. “They had no connection with Russia,” General Kondratiuk said. “They didn’t even know what the Soviet Union was.” That summer, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, blew up in midair ([5]) and crashed in eastern Ukraine, killing nearly 300 passengers and crew. The Fifth Directorate produced telephone intercepts and other intelligence within hours of the crash that quickly placed responsibility on Russian-backed separatists. The C.I.A. was impressed, and made its first meaningful commitment by providing secure communications gear and specialized training to members of the Fifth Directorate and two other elite units. “The Ukrainians wanted fish and we, for policy reasons, couldn’t deliver that fish,” said a former U.S. official, referring to intelligence that could help them battle the Russians. “But we were happy to teach them how to fish and deliver fly-fishing equipment.” [5] https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/17/world/europe/flight-mh17-russia-dutch-court.html

8)  A Secret Santa In the summer of 2015, Ukraine’s president, Petro Poroshenko, shook up the domestic service and installed an ally to replace Mr. Nalyvaichenko, the C.I.A.’s trusted partner. But the change created an opportunity elsewhere. In the reshuffle, General Kondratiuk was appointed as the head of the country’s military intelligence agency, known as the HUR, where years earlier he had started his career. It would be an early example of how personal ties, more than policy shifts, would deepen the C.I.A.’s involvement in Ukraine. Unlike the domestic agency, the HUR had the authority to collect intelligence outside the country, including in Russia. But the Americans had seen little value in cultivating the agency because it wasn’t producing any intelligence of value on the Russians — and because it was seen as a bastion of Russian sympathizers. Trying to build trust, General Kondratiuk arranged a meeting with his American counterpart at the Defense Intelligence Agency and handed over a stack of secret Russian documents. But senior D.I.A. officials were suspicious and discouraged building closer ties. The general needed to find a more willing partner. Months earlier, while still with the domestic agency, General Kondratiuk visited the C.I.A. headquarters in Langley, Va. In those meetings, he met a C.I.A. officer with a jolly demeanor and a bushy beard who had been tapped to become the next station chief in Kyiv.

9) After a long day of meetings, the C.I.A. took General Kondratiuk to a Washington Capitals hockey match, where he and the incoming station chief sat in a luxury box and loudly booed Alex Ovechkin, the team’s star player from Russia. The station chief had not yet arrived when General Kondratiuk handed over to the C.I.A. the secret documents about the Russian Navy. “There’s more where this came from,” he promised, and the documents were sent off to analysts in Langley. The analysts concluded the documents were authentic, and after the station chief arrived in Kyiv, the C.I.A. became General Kondratiuk’s primary partner. General Kondratiuk knew he needed the C.I.A. to strengthen his own agency. The C.I.A. thought the general might be able to help Langley, too. It struggled to recruit spies inside Russia because its case officers were under heavy surveillance. “For a Russian, allowing oneself to be recruited by an American is to commit the absolute, ultimate in treachery and treason,” General Kondratiuk said. “But for a Russian to be recruited by a Ukrainian, it’s just friends talking over a beer.” The new station chief began regularly visiting General Kondratiuk, whose office was decorated with an aquarium where yellow and blue fish — the national colors of Ukraine — swam circles around a model of a sunken Russian submarine. The two men became close, which drove the relationship between the two agencies, and the Ukrainians gave the new station chief an affectionate nickname: Santa Claus. In January 2016, General Kondratiuk flew to Washington for meetings at Scattergood, an estate on the C.I.A. campus in Virginia where the agency often fetes visiting dignitaries. The agency agreed to help the HUR modernize, and to improve its ability to intercept Russian military communications. In exchange, General Kondratiuk agreed to share all of the raw intelligence with the Americans. Now the partnership was real.

9) Operation Goldfish Today, the narrow road leading to the secret base is framed by minefields, seeded as a line of defense in the weeks after Russia’s invasion. The Russian missiles that hit the base had seemingly shut it down, but just weeks later the Ukrainians returned. With money and equipment provided by the C.I.A., crews under General Dvoretskiy’s command began to rebuild, but underground. To avoid detection, they only worked at night and when Russian spy satellites were not overhead. Workers also parked their cars a distance away from the construction site. In the bunker, General Dvoretskiy pointed to communications equipment and large computer servers, some of which were financed by the C.I.A. He said his teams were using the base to hack into the Russian military’s secure communications networks. “This is the thing that breaks into satellites and decodes secret conversations,” General Dvoretskiy told a Times journalist on a tour, adding that they were hacking into spy satellites from China and Belarus, too. Another officer placed two recently produced maps on a table, as evidence of how Ukraine is tracking Russian activity around the world. The first showed the overhead routes of Russian spy satellites traveling over central Ukraine. The second showed how Russian spy satellites are passing over strategic military installations — including a nuclear weapons facility — in the eastern and central United States.

10) The C.I.A. began sending equipment in 2016, after the pivotal meeting at Scattergood, General Dvoretskiy said, providing encrypted radios and devices for intercepting secret enemy communications. Beyond the base, the C.I.A. also oversaw a training program, carried out in two European cities, to teach Ukrainian intelligence officers how to convincingly assume fake personas and steal secrets in Russia and other countries that are adept at rooting out spies. The program was called Operation Goldfish, which derived from a joke about a Russian-speaking goldfish who offers two Estonians wishes in exchange for its freedom. The punchline was that one of the Estonians bashed the fish’s head with a rock, explaining that anything speaking Russian could not be trusted. The Operation Goldfish officers were soon deployed to 12 newly-built, forward operating bases constructed along the Russian border. From each base, General Kondratiuk said, the Ukrainian officers ran networks of agents who gathered intelligence inside Russia. C.I.A. officers installed equipment at the bases to help gather intelligence and also identified some of the most skilled Ukrainian graduates of the Operation Goldfish program, working with them to approach potential Russian sources. These graduates then trained sleeper agents on Ukrainian territory meant to launch guerrilla operations in case of occupation. It can often take years for the C.I.A. to develop enough trust in a foreign agency to begin conducting joint operations. With the Ukrainians it had taken less than six months. The new partnership started producing so much raw intelligence about Russia that it had to be shipped to Langley for processing. But the C.I.A. did have red lines. It wouldn’t help the Ukrainians conduct offensive lethal operations. “We made a distinction between intelligence collection operations and things that go boom,” a former senior U.S. official said.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

11) ‘This is Our Country’ It was a distinction that grated on the Ukrainians. First, General Kondratiuk was annoyed when the Americans refused to provide satellite images from inside Russia. Soon after, he requested C.I.A. assistance in planning a clandestine mission to send HUR commandos into Russia to plant explosive devices at train depots used by the Russian military. If the Russian military sought to take more Ukrainian territory, Ukrainians could detonate the explosives to slow the Russian advance. When the station chief briefed his superiors, they “lost their minds,” as one former official put it. Mr. Brennan, the C.I.A. director, called General Kondratiuk to make certain that mission was canceled and that Ukraine abided by the red lines forbidding lethal operations. General Kondratiuk canceled the mission, but he also took a different lesson. “Going forward, we worked to not have discussions about these things with your guys,” he said. Late that summer, Ukrainian spies discovered that Russian forces were deploying attack helicopters at an airfield on the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula, possibly to stage a surprise attack. General Kondratiuk decided to send a team into Crimea to plant explosives at the airfield so they could be detonated if Russia moved to attack. This time, he didn’t ask the C.I.A. for permission. He turned to Unit 2245, the commando force that received specialized military training from the C.I.A.’s elite paramilitary group, known as the Ground Department. The intent of the training was to teach defensive techniques, but C.I.A. officers understood that without their knowledge the Ukrainians could use the same techniques in offensive lethal operations.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

12) At the time, the future head of Ukraine's military intelligence agency, General Budanov, was a rising star in Unit 2245. He was known for daring operations behind enemy lines and had deep ties to the C.I.A. The agency had trained him and also taken the extraordinary step of sending him for rehabilitation to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland after he was shot in the right arm during fighting in the Donbas. Disguised in Russian uniforms, then-Lt. Col. Budanov led commandos across a narrow gulf in inflatable speedboats, landing at night in Crimea. But an elite Russian commando unit was waiting for them. The Ukrainians fought back, killing several Russian fighters, including the son of a general, before retreating to the shoreline, plunging into the sea and swimming for hours to Ukrainian-controlled territory. It was a disaster. In a public address, President Putin accused the Ukrainians of plotting a terrorist attack and promised to avenge the deaths of the Russian fighters. “There is no doubt that we will not let these things pass,” he said. In Washington, the Obama White House was livid. Joseph R. Biden Jr., then the vice president and a champion of assistance to Ukraine, called Ukraine’s president to angrily complain. “It causes a gigantic problem,” Mr. Biden said in the call, a recording of which was leaked and published online. “All I’m telling you as a friend is that my making arguments here is a hell of a lot harder now.” Some of Mr. Obama’s advisers wanted to shut the C.I.A. program down, but Mr. Brennan persuaded them that doing so would be self-defeating, given the relationship was starting to produce intelligence on the Russians as the C.I.A. was investigating Russian election meddling. Mr. Brennan got on the phone with General Kondratiuk to again emphasize the red lines. The general was upset. “This is our country,” he responded, according to a colleague. “It’s our war, and we’ve got to fight.” The blowback from Washington cost General Kondratiuk his job. But Ukraine didn’t back down.

13) One day after General Kondratiuk was removed a mysterious explosion in the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk, in eastern Ukraine, ripped through an elevator carrying a senior Russian separatist commander named Arsen Pavlov, known by his nom de guerre, Motorola. The C.I.A. soon learned that the assassins were members of the Fifth Directorate, the spy group that received C.I.A. training. Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency had even handed out commemorative patches to those involved, each one stitched with the word “Lift,” the British term for an elevator. Again, some of Mr. Obama’s advisers were furious, but they were lame ducks — the presidential election pitting Donald J. Trump against Hillary Rodham Clinton was three weeks away — and the assassinations continued. A team of Ukrainian agents set up an unmanned, shoulder-fired rocket launcher in a building in the occupied territories. It was directly across from the office of a rebel commander named Mikhail Tolstykh, better known as Givi. Using a remote trigger, they fired the launcher as soon as Givi entered his office, killing him, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials. A shadow war was now in overdrive. The Russians used a car bomb to assassinate the head of Unit 2245, the elite Ukrainian commando force. The commander, Col. Maksim Shapoval, was on his way to meeting with C.I.A. officers in Kyiv when his car exploded. At the colonel’s wake, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, stood in mourning beside the C.I.A. station chief. Later, C.I.A. officers and their Ukrainian counterparts toasted Colonel Shapoval with whiskey shots. “For all of us,” General Kondratiuk said, “it was a blow.”

14) Tiptoeing Around Trump The election of Mr. Trump in November 2016 put the Ukrainians and their C.I.A. partners on edge. Mr. Trump praised Mr. Putin and dismissed Russia’s role in election interference. He was suspicious of Ukraine and later tried to pressure its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate his Democratic rival, Mr. Biden, resulting in Mr. Trump’s first impeachment. But whatever Mr. Trump said and did, his administration often went in the other direction. This is because Mr. Trump had put Russia hawks in key positions, including Mike Pompeo as C.I.A. director and John Bolton as national security adviser. They visited Kyiv to underline their full support for the secret partnership, which expanded to include more specialized training programs and the building of additional secret bases. The base in the forest grew to include a new command center and barracks, and swelled from 80 to 800 Ukrainian intelligence officers. Preventing Russia from interfering in future U.S. elections was a top C.I.A. priority during this period, and Ukrainian and American intelligence officers joined forces to probe the computer systems of Russia’s intelligence agencies to identify operatives trying to manipulate voters.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

15) In one joint operation, a HUR team duped an officer from Russia's  military intelligence service into providing information that allowed the C.I.A. to connect Russia’s government to the so-called Fancy Bear hacking group, which had been linked to election interference efforts in a number of countries. General Budanov, whom Mr. Zelensky tapped to lead the HUR in 2020, said of the partnership: “It only strengthened. It grew systematically. The cooperation expanded to additional spheres and became more large-scale.” The relationship was so successful that the C.I.A. wanted to replicate it with other European intelligence services that shared a focus in countering Russia. The head of Russia House, the C.I.A. department overseeing operations against Russia, organized a secret meeting at The Hague. There, representatives from the C.I.A., Britain’s MI6, the HUR, the Dutch service (a critical intelligence ally) and other agencies agreed to start pooling together more of their intelligence on Russia. The result was a secret coalition against Russia — and the Ukrainians were vital members of it.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

16) March to War In March 2021, the Russian military started massing troops along the border with Ukraine. As the months passed, and more troops encircled the country, the question was whether Mr. Putin was making a feint or preparing for war. That November, and in the weeks that followed, the C.I.A. and MI6 delivered a unified message to their Ukrainian partners: Russia was preparing for a full-scale invasion to decapitate the government ([6]) and install a puppet in Kyiv who would do the Kremlin’s bidding. U.S. and British intelligence agencies had intercepts that Ukrainian intelligence agencies did not have access to, according to U.S. officials. The new intelligence listed the names of Ukrainian officials whom the Russians were planning to kill or capture, as well as the Ukrainians the Kremlin hoped to install in power. President Zelensky and some of his top advisors appeared unconvinced, even after Mr. Burns, the C.I.A. director, rushed to Kyiv in January 2022 to brief them. As the Russian invasion neared, C.I.A. and MI6 officers made final visits in Kyiv with their Ukrainian peers. One of the MI6 officers teared up in front of the Ukrainians, out of concern that the Russians would kill them. At Mr. Burns’s urging, a small group of C.I.A. officers were exempted from the broader U.S. evacuation and were relocated to a hotel complex in western Ukraine. They didn’t want to desert their partners. [6] https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/12/16/world/europe/russia-putin-war-failures-ukraine.html

17) No Endgame After Mr. Putin launched the invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the C.I.A. officers at the hotel were the only U.S. government presence on the ground. Every day at the hotel, they met with their Ukrainian contacts to pass information. The old handcuffs were off, and the Biden White House authorized spy agencies to provide intelligence support for lethal operations against Russian forces on Ukrainian soil. Often, the C.I.A. briefings contained shockingly specific details. On March 3, 2022 — the eighth day of the war — the C.I.A. team gave a precise overview of Russian plans for the coming two weeks. The Russians would open a humanitarian corridor out of the besieged city of Mariupol that same day, and then open fire on the Ukrainians who used it. The Russians planned to encircle the strategic port city of Odessa, according to the C.I.A., but a storm delayed the assault and the Russians never took the city. Then, on March 10, the Russians intended to bombard six Ukrainian cities, and had already entered coordinates into cruise missiles for those strikes. The Russians also were trying to assassinate top Ukrainian officials, including Mr. Zelensky. In at least one case, the C.I.A. shared intelligence with Ukraine’s domestic agency that helped disrupt a plot against the president, according to a senior Ukrainian official. When the Russian assault on Kyiv had stalled, the C.I.A. station chief rejoiced and told his Ukrainian counterparts that they were “punching the Russians in the face,” according to a Ukrainian officer who was in the room.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

18) Within weeks the C.I.A. had returned to Kyiv, and the agency sent in scores of new officers to help the Ukrainians. A senior U.S. official said of the C.I.A.’s sizable presence, “Are they pulling triggers? No. Are they helping with targeting? Absolutely.” Some of the C.I.A. officers were deployed to Ukrainian bases. They reviewed lists of potential Russian targets that the Ukrainians were preparing to strike, comparing the information that the Ukrainians had with U.S. intelligence to ensure that it was accurate. Before the invasion, the C.I.A. and MI6 had trained their Ukrainian counterparts on recruiting sources, and building clandestine and partisan networks. In the southern Kherson region, which was occupied by Russia in the first weeks of the war, those partisan networks sprang into action, according to General Kondratiuk, assassinating local collaborators and helping Ukrainian forces target Russian positions. In July 2022, Ukrainian spies saw Russian convoys preparing to cross a strategic bridge across the Dnipro river and notified MI6. British and American intelligence officers then quickly verified the Ukrainian intelligence, using real-time satellite imagery. MI6 relayed the confirmation, and the Ukrainian military opened fire with rockets, destroying the convoys. At the underground bunker, General Dvoretskiy said a German antiaircraft system now defends against Russian attacks. An air-filtration system guards against chemical weapons and a dedicated power system is available, if the power grid goes down. The question that some Ukrainian intelligence officers are now asking their American counterparts — as Republicans in the House weigh whether to cut off billions of dollars in aid — is whether the C.I.A. will abandon them. “It happened in Afghanistan before and now it’s going to happen in Ukraine,” a senior Ukrainian officer said. Referring to Mr. Burns’s visit to Kyiv last week, a C.I.A. official said, “We have demonstrated a clear commitment to Ukraine over many years and this visit was another strong signal that the U.S. commitment will continue.” The C.I.A. and the HUR have built two other secret bases to intercept Russian communications, and combined with the 12 forward operating bases, which General Kondratiuk says are still operational, the HUR now collects and produces more intelligence than at any time in the war — much of which it shares with the C.I.A. “You can’t get information like this anywhere — except here, and now,” General Dvoretskiy said.

@ivan_8848 - Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil

MUST WATCH! ENJOY! Piers Morgan vs Jeffrey Sachs What is your view of Vladimir Putin? Well, I think he's very smart, very tough, and I think he says what he means. In 2007, he said, don't do this. At the Munich security conference, famously, he said, all right, you went violating what I know to be true, by the way, which was not an inch eastward for NATO, promised by James Baker II and by Hans-Dietrich Genscher to Gorbachev in 1990. I know that's for sure the case. The United States expanded NATO to Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic in the Clinton period, and then to seven more countries in 2004. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania and Bulgaria. And then in 2007, Putin said, stop. All right, stop. No more. Not to Ukraine. So what does George W do in 2008? In Bucharest, of course. What does he do? He says, guarantee Ukraine and Georgia. And this is Palmerston's playbook from 1853. So we're going to surround Russia in the Black Sea again. Exactly that. Okay, just to interrupt, though, I just asked you what your view of Putin is, and so far, you've just said he's smart and tough. I told you. Any negatives, professor? I believe that the big mistake of both sides is we should talk this out. And now let me say a word about talking it out. In 2008, when Bucharest happened, european leaders called me because I'm friends with them. They said, what is your crazy president doing, by the way? Some who are in power right now, I won't name names. What is your president doing? Why is he destabilising things? He promised he wasn't going to push Ukraine. That's what european leaders say in private. They don't say it in public. We avoided the negotiations. Then 2014 came, sadly, Piers. I saw some of it firsthand. It was ugly. The United States should not be funding overthrows of governments. We did. I know it. Okay. So I happened to be there soon afterwards with the handpicked government, handpicked by Victoria Nuland. We didn't talk then. Then came the Minsk agreements. And then the United States said privately, even though the UN Security Council has backed both Minsk one and Minsk II, you don't have to do this. And so with Poroshenko. Don't worry about it. Then we heard, of course, Chancellor Merkel say afterwards, yeah, we weren't taking it too seriously, even though Germany and France were the guarantors of that. Then, on December 15, 2021, Putin put it down in a draught. US Russia security agreement. I read it. I called the White House. I said, you know what you can negotiate on this basis? Avoid the war. No. There's going to be no war. Mr. Sachs. I said, just tell them that NATO is not going to enlarge. You'll avoid the war. No, we're never going to say that. We have an open door policy. So. What kind of open door policy? We've had 200 years of the Monroe doctrine. Some open door policy? No, Mr. Sachs. Then the war breaks out. Then immediately Zelensky says, okay, we can be neutral. We can be neutral and negotiations start. As you know, Naftali Bennett, informally, the prime minister of Israel and Turkey with its very skilled diplomacy. I actually flew to Ankara to discuss with the turkish diplomats what was going on. The US stopped the agreement. Why? Because they thought we'll win. We can blade sanctions, you know, cutting them out of the banking system. We're going to bring them to their knees. It's a bunch of terrible miscalculations, is what it is. It's a game. Listen. A terrible game. I hear you. What I'm fascinated by, though, is I've asked you to say what you think of Putin. And so far, like I say, you've only called him tough and smart. This is a guy that kills his political opponents. This is a guy who. This is a guy who rules his country like a gangster. I'm struggling to understand why you can't find any negatives for the guy. He's a dictator. Because I'm trying to find peace, and you don't do it the way that Biden does. Biden said, okay, he's a thug. Biden says he's a crazy sober. That's real good, Joe. That's really getting us to where we want to go. That's hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians dead. Can you not find anything negative to say about Vladimir Putin? I don't think that what I say about Putin negative has anything to do with anything. What I'm saying is, as I know. Well, you were ready to call him smart. You're ready to call him smart and smart and tough, but you can't find anything. I wrote a book about the cuban missile crisis and its aftermath. Kennedy didn't go name calling Khrushchev. He tried to save the world to stop the war afterwards. He didn't insult Khrushchev. What he did was sat down with him and negotiated the partial nuclear test ban treaty. We're not in a game. We're not in name calling. We're not in a cage brawl. We're trying to actually not have the world spiral into nuclear war. So it's not that game. The game is sit down and negotiate.

We can be neutral. We can be neutral. And, negotiations start, as you know, Naftali Bennett, informally the prime minister of Israel, and the and and Turkey with its very skilled diplomacy. I actually flew to Ankara to discuss with the Turkish diplomats what was going on. The US stopped the agreement. Why? Because they thought we'll win. We can bleed Russia. Our sanctions, you know, cutting them out of the banking system, we're gonna bring them to their knees. It's a bunch of terrible miscalculations is what it is. It's a game. Speaker 0: Listen. Speaker 1: A terrible game. Speaker 0: I hear you. What I'm fascinated by, though, is I've asked you to say what you think of Putin. And so far, like I say, you've only called him tough and smart. This is a guy that kills his political opponents. This is a guy who Yeah. Speaker 1: What's the the Speaker 0: This is a guy who rules his country like a gangster. I I find it I'm struggling to understand why you can't find any negatives for the guy. He's a dictator. Speaker 1: Because I'm trying to because I'm trying to find peace, and you don't do it the way that Biden does. Biden said, okay. He's a thug. Biden says he's a crazy SOB. That's real good, Joe. That's really getting us to where we wanna go. That's 100 of 1000 of Ukrainians dead. Speaker 0: But do you know what? Can you not find can you not find anything negative to say about Vladimir Putin? Speaker 1: I don't think that what I say about Putin negative has anything to do with anything. What I'm saying is, as I know, you Speaker 0: Well, you were already calling smart you were already calling smart and tough. I'm not sure. And that's Speaker 1: You know, in in You go to smart Speaker 0: and tough, but you can't find anything bad. To say that. Speaker 1: Wrote a book about the Cuban Missile Crisis and its aftermath. Kennedy didn't go name calling Khrushchev. He tried to save the world to stop the war. Afterwards, he didn't insult Khrushchev. What he did was sat down with him and negotiated the partial nuclear test ban treaty. We're not in a game. We're not in name calling. We're not in a cage brawl. We're trying to actually not have the world spiral into nuclear war. So it's not that game. The game is sit down and negotiate.

Brilliant!!! The best video @0rf ‼️👏👏👏 Watch Matt Orfalea Bitch Slap Those Who Said The Ukraine Invasion Was "Not About NATO" The biggest threat in the world is NATO. NATO exists to solve the problems created by NATO’s existence. NATO is a military alliance that feeds on war. To justify its existence, NATO constantly needs an external enemies and conflicts. NATO DISBAND!

Putin sent a treaty to NATO to stop enlargement, but NATO refused. The conflict isn't about NATO, but democracy in Ukraine. Some compare Putin to Hitler. The main issue is Putin's desire for influence. The war is not about NATO, but Putin's ambitions. It's a complex situation with no easy solution.

Speaker 0: President Putin actually sent a draft treaty that he wanted NATO to sign to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And that was a precondition for not invade Ukraine. Of course, we didn't sign that. Speaker 1: So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO across his borders. Flashback. Speaker 0: This is fundamentally not about NATO expansion. Speaker 1: It's never about NATO enlargement. It's not about NATO. It's not about NATO expanding toward Russia. This was never about NATO? It's absolutely nothing to do with NATO expansionism. And it has nothing to do with NATO. Speaker 2: This is not about NATO. Speaker 1: It's not about NATO. It's not really about NATO. This is not about NATO. Seriously, it's not about Speaker 2: NATO. This was never about NATO. Speaker 3: It was never about NATO. Let's be honest. This doesn't have anything to do with NATO? Speaker 1: Nothing to do with NATO at all. Yeah. He's claiming it's, like, security purposes, but we can see the clear reason. But NATO is not the reason. Speaker 2: This is not about NATO expansion. This is about the democratic expansion. Ukraine bans religious organizations. We are protecting democracy right now. Ukraine is banning political parties. Speaker 1: Because it's a democracy. Speaker 2: Ukraine restricts books and music. It's about democracy. Ukraine won't hold elections. Speaker 1: It's about democracy. And it's not about NATO expansion. Speaker 3: NATO expansion. Speaker 1: Nothing to do with with NATO. It isn't really about NATO. It's not about NATO. It's not about NATO enlargement. In fact, Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with NATO. It's not about NATO encroaching. So it's not about NATO. NATO is just as a fictitious imaginary adversary for for for mister Putin and for Russia. It was never about NATO. Speaker 3: That's not what it's been about. It's been about him trying to expand his sphere of influence. Speaker 4: Hang on. I mean, the 2 are not mutually exclusive. Obviously, Russia has wished for a sphere of influence over Ukraine. But if the west had not challenged Russian interests so directly, I think that there there was a chance to avoid this war. Speaker 1: He wanted us to sign Speaker 0: a promise never to enlarge NATO. We rejected that. Speaker 1: The reason why Putin invaded Ukraine is because of his evil Evil. It's about that Putin wants to rebuild Soviet empire of evil like president Reagan told. It's about Putin being sick. Speaker 2: Because I don't Speaker 1: know how you negotiate peace with a madman, but nobody negotiated with Hitler. Speaker 2: People were comparing him to Hitler. To Hitler. Speaker 1: And remember Hitler? Speaker 2: He's a Hitler. Speaker 1: We're back when the the Nazis invaded Poland. Speaker 2: This is exactly the same what Hitler was doing to choose. This is the same. Putin will not stop. Speaker 4: Putin Speaker 2: Putin is reminiscent of Hitler. Hitler. This reminds me of Hitler. Hitler. Hitler. Speaker 4: He's the new Hitler. Speaker 1: Who Hitler? This is about a butcher trying to kill people everywhere in the world, just not Ukraine, Syria, all over the place. I hear you. Senator Lindsey Graham, always great to talk to you. Thanks so much. Thank you. Alright. Straight ahead.

Jeffrey Sachs: Conflict in Ukraine has been a 30 year project of the United States. This has been a long standing game, announced, explained Brzezinski laid it all out for us in 1997. MasterClass for Piers Morgan ❗️ Ukraine wanted to be part of NATO and that perhaps the biggest mistake Ukraine made was to give up its nuclear weapons. Well, I think the mistake is that Ukraine should have been a neutral buffer between Russia and NATO. And that's how it started out as an independent state in 1991. And the United States had its eye on getting Ukraine into the US orbit already from 1992. Zbigniew Brzezinski spelled it out in 1997. Many people thought this was a path to disaster and it's turned out to be a path to disaster. So it's very sad. It could have been peaceful and neutral and independent, and that wasn't good enough for the United States. And I understand completely why Russia wouldn't want NATO on the 2000 km border of Ukraine and Russia. So it's just very sad, very predictable. George Kennan called it exactly in 1997. Interestingly, our current CIA director, Bill Burns, who was in 2008, the US ambassador to Russia, sent back a famous memo called Niet means Niet. No, don't do it. It's not just Putin, it's the entire political class that absolutely rejects Ukraine and NATO. And we should have been prudent, but we're not very prudent. We had our designs and we have walked into a disaster. But more than that, we talked Ukraine into a complete disaster. I mean, the other way of looking at this is that Ukraine wanted to be a sovereign, democratic country after the breakup of the Soviet Union. In fact, vast majority of people in Ukraine voted for that and that this was the complete antithesis of how Putin saw the layover of the land and he thought, no, I'm not having that. I'm going to go and grab Crimea, then I'll grab a load of Ukraine, try it in Georgia. I mean, at what point does he do this stuff where even someone who's trying to be fair minded about his intentions, like yourself, might think, I wonder if I'm right and maybe he is just a pathological liar and a homicidal maniac. Piers. The real screw up by the US was not just pushing NATO, but playing real games and participating in the overthrow of Yanukovych in February 2014. We overthrew a government and the United States played a major role in that. I happened to see some of it firsthand. Pretty ugly, but pretty standard stuff. This is what the US does when it doesn't like a government or a government standing in the way. It stirs things up. It puts in a lot of money, it funds unrest, it stokes unrest. And it did that in February 2014. That was really the huge mistake that was a gambit, a typical so called covert, but not very covert US regime change operation. And it was absolutely the path to the disaster that we're in right now. So I think the main point is you have two sides playing a lot of games. But for the United States to be pushing so hard to Russia's border was absolutely premeditated and stupid, really stupid. It got us into this mess, and you could see it coming so clearly for the last ten years. What is your view of I begged the White House many times, avoid the war, stop. Just tell them NATO is not coming, Ukraine will do just fine. And they wouldn't do it because this has been a 30 year project of the United States also. This is how it works. This has been a long standing game, announced, explained Brzezinski laid it all out for us in 1997. So we've seen it.

The Ukraine - Russian War was planned well in advance. The war in Ukraine will stop when it is stopped by the one who organized it, financed and continues to finance it. This war is provoked and inevitable. Zelensky is a puppet.

Speaker 0: Трудно даже поверить. С чего все началось? Хотите жить как в Париже? Хотим. Давайте подписывать. А кто бы сказал? Давайте почитаем. Запад поддержал государственный переворот антиконсульцион. Зачем вы раскалываете страну? Только пусть Янукович не применяет силу, но он не применил. А вооруженная оппозиция в Киеве провела Господа. Как это понимать? Вы кто такие вообще? Там попробуйте, объясните фермерам во Франции, в той же Германии, в Испании, в Греции, в Португалии, в странах юга Европы, что нужно им немножко прижаться в интересах Украины. Я посмотрю на их реакцию, но только не каких-то функционеров, а вот работяг, которые на земле работают. Speaker 1: Слова, сказанные ровно 10 лет назад, кадры сделанные в очередной раз в Speaker 0: последние Speaker 1: украинский кризис перешедший в острую фазу ровно 10 лет назад теперь определяет жизни всего континента да и во многом всего мира Speaker 0: трудно даже поверить с чего все началось С технического решения Президента Януковича перенести подписание договора об ассоциации Украины с Евросоюзом. При этом речь шла даже не об отказе от этого документа, а только о переносе сроков с целью его доработки. Это было сделано, напомню, в полном соответствии с конституционными полномочиями абсолютно легитимного международно признанного главы государства Speaker 1: 8 2013 на украине серьезные экономические сложности и за помощью президент страны янукович обращается главному стратегическому партнеру россии систско-украинские переговоры принесли сегодня сенсационные новости, а события развивались следующим образом: буквально до самого последнего момента вообще не было известно, какие именно документы сегодня будут подписаны и вот за пять минут до начала церемонии нам раздали списки подписанных документов и мы увидели что 14 самым последним пунктом стоит документ под названием Дополнение к контрактам на куплю-продажу газа от января 2009 года. Speaker 0: Который дает возможность Газпрому, что он и намерен делать, продавать на Украину газ по цене 268 с половиной долларов за тысячу кубов. Сейчас эта цена около 400 долларов. Была, можно сказать. С целью поддержки бюджета Украины правительство Российской Федерации приняло решение разместить в ценных бумагах украинского правительства часть своих резервов из фонда национального благосостояния объемом 15 миллиардов долларов США. Хочу обратить Ваше внимание и хочу всех успокоить сегодня мы вообще не обсуждали вопрос о присоединении Украины к таможенному союзу. Speaker 1: Эти слова Путин говорит потому, что украинское общество тогда уже изрядно разогрета обещаниями ассоциации с евросоюзом а взаимодействие с таможенным союзом то есть с россией подается там как некий путь назад в киеве начинаются первые митинги Speaker 0: Киев, давай! Киев, давай! Киев, давай! Speaker 1: Украина це Европа! Украина це Speaker 0: Европа! Говорят, что у украинского народа отбирают мечту, Но если посмотреть на содержание этих соглашений, то до этой мечты многие могут просто не дожить, не дотянуть. Потому что условия очень жесткие. Очень легко спекулировать на этих вопросах. Хотите жить, как в Париже? Хотим. Speaker 1: Давайте Speaker 0: подписывать. Кто бы сказал? Давайте почитаем. Вы читали, что там написано? Нет. Вы читали эту бумагу? Нет. Никто же нифига не читает. Вы хоть читать-то умеете? Посмотрите, что там написано. Рынки открыть, денег нет, нормы и торговые, и технические регламенты вести европейские. Ну значит что, промышленность надо закрыть, Это выбор кого-то? Ну хорошо. Вот если всё это посчитать, взвесить, то тогда и молодые люди вполне могут разобраться в этом и сказать: Да, мы хотим европейских стандартов, но давайте это сделаем таким образом, чтобы предприятия завтра не закрылись машиностроительные, чтобы судостроение осталось на плаву, чтобы авиация не померла, чтобы космическая отрасль не сдохла. Все эти рынки и кооперация в Speaker 1: России. Эти кадры разобраны посекундно, что фиксируют действительно судьбоносные моменты. Лидеры стран Евросоюза, до этого годами рассказывавшие о демократии и праве выбора, устраивают публичную порку президенту независимой страны януковичу за принятые им решения Speaker 0: украина приостанавливает, не прекращает, а приостанавливает процесс подписания договора с Евросоюзом и хочет все, что называется, посчитать как следует. По сути, мы услышали угрозы со стороны наших европейских партнеров в отношении Украины, вплоть до способствования проведению акций протеста. Вот это и есть давление, вот это и есть шантаж. Speaker 1: Многие жители украины россии недоумевают по поводу все новых и новых кадров из Киева митинги становятся все агрессивнее в центре столицы неприкрыто начинают действовать боевики. Speaker 0: Все что сейчас происходит говорит о том что это не революция, а хорошо подготовленная акция. Эти акции, на мой взгляд, были подготовлены не к сегодняшнему дню, они готовились к президентской выборной кампании весны 2015 года. Просто это небольшой фальш-старт, но это все заготовки к президентским выборам. Хорошо подготовленные и обученные группы боевиков, на самом деле. Вы за или против подписания Украиной соглашения об ассоциации с Европейским Союзом? Мы не за и не против, это вообще не наше дело, это суверенное право украинского народа, украинского руководства, лице президента, парламента и правительства. Правительства. Если бы нам сказали, что Украина в НАТО вступает, тогда мы были бы против реально, потому что продвижение к нашим границам инфраструктуры военного блока для нас представляет опасность Speaker 1: экономические вопросы раз за разом подчеркивает путин суверенное дело украинского руководства но невозможно не учитывать серьезнейшие связи предприятия России и Украины. Speaker 0: Я бы попросил наших друзей в Брюсселе воздержаться от резких выражений, Что, нам для того, чтобы им понравиться, нужно удавить целые отраслью нашей экономики? И я бы полагал, что нужно деполитизировать эту тему, согласиться с предложением Президента Януковича и в трехстороннем формате как следует и обстоятельно на эти все темы поговорить. Speaker 1: В здании европейской комиссии на множестве телевизоров с пометкой горячая новость постоянно идут трансляции с украины январь 14 года руководство Еврокомиссии призывают януковича к сдержанности настаивает на неприменении силы против боевиков на улицах но не видит ничего странного в том что в акциях на майдане против легитимной власти участвуют высокопоставленные западные политики и Speaker 2: меньше на украина ди всем утичкима Люди на Украине, которые так мужественно вышли на улицы и провели демонстрации, вызывают у нас огромное уважение. Впечатляет сколько людей демонстрируют, что они хотят быть ближе к Европейскому Союзу в рамках закона на основе демократических процессов. Speaker 3: Все, что происходит это воплощение надежд Сирии и Украины, их жажды свободы, честных выборов и усталости от взяточничества. Я могу себе представить, как Speaker 0: бы наши европейские партнеры отреагировали, если бы в разгар кризиса, скажем, в Греции либо на Кипре на одном из митингов антиевропейских появился бы наш министр иностранных дел и начал бы обращаться с какими-то призывами. Наши друзья, европейские тоже, обратились с призывом к Президенту, к Правительству не допускать применения силы и так далее. Применение силы это всегда крайняя мера, я с ними согласен абсолютно. Но, знаете, мы сегодня в ходе беседы, я тоже об этом сказал, на Западной Украине священнослужитель призывает толпу ехать в Киев и громить правительство и дальше аргументация чтобы в нашем доме не командовали негры москали то есть русские и жиды вы знаете, это крайне удивительно, что это делает представитель религиозной деятельности а во-вторых это ведь крайнее проявление национализма абсолютно неприемлемое в цивилизованном мире и призывая украинское правительство и президент Януковича действовать цивилизованными методами мы должны обратить внимание и на его политических противников призвать и их тоже придерживаться методов цивилизованной политической борьбы Speaker 1: сейчас почему-то не принято вспоминать но вообще-то массовые беспорядки еще в январе 14 года начались не на донбассе а на западе украины винница штурм здания областной администрации и здесь и в же томире параллельно погромы в Ровно Захват административного здания в Черновцах. Драки и штурм в Черкассах. И вот уже половине страны захвачена власть донбасс тогда молчит наблюдает ждет когда по закону будет наведен порядок в россии тоже надеются на нормализации обстановки в братской стране сочи стартуют олимпийские игры которым россии готовилась долгие 7 лет. Украинские, белорусские и российские спортсмены в олимпийской деревне живут все вместе. Белорусскую сборную на Олимпиаде поддержит президент Александр лукашенко украинский лидер также приедет сочи путин проводит отдельную встречу с украинской олимпийской сборной желает спортсменам успехов Speaker 0: очень хорошая атмосфера создается болельщиками вот конечно болеет за своих но в целом очень желательно и поддерживать всех спортсменов в том числе и других команд страшно все подобрано неожиданно Speaker 1: из Киева начинают приходить совсем уж страшные кадры стрельба убийства массовые Speaker 0: жертвы Speaker 1: С Киева начинают приходить совсем уж страшные кадры стрельба убийства массовые жертвы с момента переворота в Киеве это первый большой публичный комментарий российского президента о произошедшем и происходящем. Speaker 0: Это антиконституционный переворот и вооруженный захват власти. А что было проще сказать в тот момент времени? Вы там переворот совершили? Нет, мы же гаранты, министр иностранных дел Польши, Франции, Германии, как гаранты подписали документ соглашение между президентом Януковичем и оппозицией. Через три дня все это растоптали. А где гаранты? Спросите у них, где они эти гаранты. Почему они не сказали: Ну-ка, пожалуйста, назад все вернитесь. Януковича верните назад! И проводите конституционные демократические выборы. Speaker 4: Я подписал это соглашение, вместе с ними поставил свою подпись, Но я не услышал от них даже слов осуждения в сторону бандитов, которые стреляли в мой кортеж, в мою охрану, и не один раз. Speaker 0: Нам все время говорили, только пусть Янукович не применяет силу, только пусть не применяет силу, но он не применил. Speaker 3: Важно также убедиться в том, что украинские военные не будут вовлечены в кризис, который должен быть разрешен гражданским обществом. Speaker 0: 21 числа вечером мне президент Обама позвонил, мы с ним обсудили эти вопросы, сказали о том, как мы будем способствовать исполнению этих договорённостей, Россия взяла на себя определённые обязательства. Я услышал, что мой американский коллега готов взять на себя определенные обязательства. Это все было 21 вечером. В тот же день мне позвонил Президент Янукович, сказал, что он подписал, считает, что ситуация стабилизировалась, и он собирается поехать в Харьков на конференцию. Не скрою, это не секрет, я выразил определенную озабоченность, сказал, возможно ли в такой ситуации покидать столицу. Он ответил, что считает возможным, поскольку есть документ, подписанный с оппозиции, и министр иностранных дел европейских стран выступили гарантами исполнения этой договоренности. Скажу вам еще больше. Я ему ответил, что я сомневаюсь в том, что все так будет хорошо, но это его дело, он же в конце концов президент, он чувствует ситуацию, ему виднее, как поступать. Во всяком случае, мне кажется, нельзя выводить силу правопорядка из Киева, сказал ему я. Он сказал: Да, конечно, это я понимаю. Уехал и дал команду вывести все силы правопорядка из Киева. Красавец Леша. Я Speaker 4: верил в порядочность иностранных посредников. Меня не просто обманули, меня цинично обманули, но не меня обманули, обманули весь украинский народ. Speaker 0: Янукович свою власть практически сдал. Он согласился на все, что требовала оппозиция. Он согласился на досрочные выборы парламента, на досрочные выборы Президента, согласился вернуться к Конституции 2004 года. Вы там Януковича успокоите, а мы успокоим оппозицию. Янукович не применил, как просили нас американцы, ни вооруженных сил, ни полиции. А вооруженная оппозиция в Киеве провела госпереворот. Как это понимать? Вы кто такие вообще? Неохота здесь камеры работают, жесты определенные показывать. Вы понимаете, какие жесты мне сейчас хочется показать. Вот что они нам показали. Поняли, что окончательно свинтить Украину под себя исключительно политическими средствами не удается, совершили госпереворот, лишили нас шансов нормальным политическим образом выстраивать отношения с этой страной. Они действовали и пошли, как у нас в народе говорят, простите за моветон, по беспределу просто. Уже началась гражданская война и хаос. Кому это, зачем это надо было делать, если Янукович и так со всем согласился? Надо было пойти на выборы, и те же люди пришли бы сейчас к власти только легальным путем. Мы, как идиоты, платили бы 15 миллиардов, которые обещали, держали бы низкие цены на газ, дальше продолжали субсидировать экономику. И давайте прямо, здесь же все взрослые люди, правильно, умные, грамотные люди. Запад поддержал государственный переворот антиконстуционный. Что дальше? Вот смотрите, госпереворот совершили, с нами разговаривать не хотят, у нас какие мысли? Следующий шаг Украина в НАТО. Мы считаем, что с нами пытались разговаривать с помощью силы, и что мы, именно действуя в такой логике, дали адекватные ответы. Мы не создавали этого кризиса, мы были противниками такого развития событий. Не мы же там пирожки раздавали повстанцам на этот счет. Да, мы понимаем, там сложные процессы, но не таким же образом их нужно решать, причём где? Прямо у наших границ. Но вы где находитесь? За тысячи километров? А мы здесь? Это наша Земля. Вы за что хотите там бороться? Не знаете? А мы знаем, и мы на это готовы. Я бы никогда не стал этого делать, если бы не считал, что мы обязаны поступить именно таким образом. Что касается хронологии событий, то сначала произошел государственный переворот и захват власти, и вот с этого момента наши взгляды и пути с руководством Украины стали диаметрально противоположными. С этого момента мы с ними разошлись. Но после этого Крым вернулся в состав Российской Федерации, а не наоборот. Так что у нас отношения испортились с Украиной, с Крымом в принципе не связано. Мы разве какие-то операции в Крыму или где-то еще проводили с нормальной страной и с нормальной властью? Нет, никогда этого не делали, в голове даже этого не держали. Но зачем же западные страны поддержали государственный переворот? С этого момента для нас власть на Украине источник власти, госпереворот, а не воля народа. Speaker 1: Откуда вам это известно? Очень просто, Speaker 0: потому что люди, которые живут на Украине, у нас с ними тысяча совместных всяких контактов и тысяча связей И мы знаем, кто, где, когда встречался, работал с теми людьми, которые свергали Януковича, как их поддерживали, сколько платили, как готовили, на каких территориях, в каких странах и кто были эти инструкторы. Мы все знаем. Speaker 1: Вы уважаете суверенитет Украины? Speaker 0: Конечно. Но мы хотели бы, чтобы и другие страны уважали суверенитет других стран, в том числе и Украины. А уважать суверенитет это значит не допускать государственных переворотов. Это кто делал? Американские наши дружки. А европейцы, которые подписались как гаранты договоренности между властью и оппозицией, сделали вид, что вообще ничего не знают. С этого всё началось. Сейчас говорят: ну давайте об этом не будем вспоминать. Нет, будем помнить об этом всегда, потому что в этом причина, и причина в тех людях, которые способствовали этому перевороту. Но Speaker 1: даже после сотен жертв, документальных кадров кровавых побоищ, та же Меркель, и спустя годы, публично говорила: Speaker 2: Мы считаем, что украинское правительство пришло к власти демократическим путем. Speaker 0: Если мы будем вот так вот с разными стандартами подходить к одинаковым явлениям, что мы никогда ни о чем не сможем договориться. Мы должны утвердить, в конце концов, не право сильного и право кулака в международных делах, а нормы международного права. Speaker 1: -Конфликт на Украине и вокруг нее, который разгорелся ровно 10 лет назад, который сейчас поставил мир на грань третьей мировой войны, мог быть урегулирован еще тогда, в феврале 14-го. Speaker 0: Вы же сразу сказали: ребята, так нельзя, остановитесь. Нет, никто ее слушать не хотел. Они же не могли не понимать, что это красная черта, мы тысячу раз об этом сказали, нет, полезли. Вот мы получили сегодняшнюю ситуацию. Я подозреваю, что не случайно им нужен был этот конфликт. Speaker 1: В результате сша разорвали связи россии и европы разожгли вооруженный конфликт между братскими народами но и по своему положению в мире нанесли такой удар от которого некогда глобальный лидер уже вряд ли когда-либо оправиться

I've been sharing insights on the Russia-Ukraine-NATO conflict, highlighting key events and perspectives often overlooked. I discussed NATO's eastward expansion, the CIA's long-standing involvement in Ukraine, and the role of U.S. officials in the 2014 coup that led to significant violence against Russian-speaking citizens. I also touched on the implications of foreign aid, the existence of biolabs, and the broader geopolitical stakes involving globalist agendas. The narrative often presented by mainstream media doesn't capture the full complexity of this situation.

НАТО влияет на страны, не давая им контролировать решения. Американское влияние укрепляется в Европе, особенно восточноевропейские страны. Россия сталкивается с негативным отношением из-за кризиса на Украине, но угрозы от нее нет. Страны стремятся укрепить свою независимость и защитить национальные интересы от внешнего давления. Translation: NATO influences countries without allowing them to control decisions. American influence is strengthening in Europe, especially in Eastern European countries. Russia faces negative attitudes due to the crisis in Ukraine, but there is no threat from it. Countries aim to strengthen their independence and protect national interests from external pressure.

Speaker 0: Я вижу. И эта угроза заключается в том, что когда НАТО приходит в ту или иную страну, то, как правило, политическое руководство этой страны и население страны не могут влиять на принимаемые НАТО решения, в том числе по размещению военной инфраструктуры, не исключая, например, и постановку очень чувствительных систем вооружения, в том числе и противоракетной обороны. Сейчас происходит определенное укрепление вот этого американского влияния, в том числе и в Европе, в том числе за счет восточноевропейских стран, потому что они еще находятся в парадигме противостояния другому доминанту в виде бывшего Советского Союза, это перекладывается все на сегодняшнюю Россию, но рано или поздно это закончится. Смогли с помощью инициирования кризиса, скажем, на Украине возбудить такое отношение к России как к возможным агрессорам. Но всё-таки очень скоро всем самим понятно, что никакой угрозы со стороны России не исходит ни прибалтийским странам, ни восточноевропейским, уж ни тем более каким-то более отдаленным в Западной Европе. По мере укрепления этого понимания будет расти желание укреплять свой суверенитет и защищать свои национальные интересы, Постоянно чувствовать на себе какое-то внешнее давление, уверяю вас, это ни у кого не вызывает восторга, рано или поздно это будет иметь свой результат, и это когда-то всё равно закончится.

3/17. The CIA have been plotting in Ukraine against Russia a long time.

@KanekoaTheGreat - KanekoaTheGreat

🚨The New York Times disclosed yesterday that the CIA built "12 Secret Spy Bases" in Ukraine, waging a shadow war against Russia for the past decade. After a U.S.-supported violent coup toppled Ukraine's democratically elected government, CIA Director John Brennan visited Kyiv in April 2014. Shortly after, the new Ukrainian government launched an "anti-terror operation" against its Russian-speaking citizens in Eastern Ukraine. For eight years leading up to Russia's invasion in 2022, Ukraine's government, with help from the CIA, relentlessly bombed Eastern Ukraine. Millions of innocent civilians were caught in the crossfire of a geopolitical chess match between Russia and the United States. This is part of the story often ignored by the Western press.

Video Transcript AI Summary
John Brennan possibly traveled to Kyiv under another name, but it's unclear. US VP Biden pledged $50 million in aid to help Ukraine through the crisis. Pro-Russian separatists clashed with ultranationalists, raising civil war concerns. The US aims to support Ukraine's stability and security by providing assistance and information. Ukraine deserves to determine its future free from outside interference.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Various people have said that John Brennan, the head of the CIA, traveled possibly under another name to Kyiv. And I just wanted to know, did he travel there? Does it have anything to do Speaker 1: with this action? Just to No. It it happened only in in the, in some commands from Moscow. I don't know. So Thank you. Were you in Kyiv recently? I was in Kyiv a couple weeks ago. Yes. Mhmm. Could you tell us what your mission was? I was out there to, interact with, our Ukrainian partners and friends. Ukraine's acting president has announced the start of an anti terrorist operation in the east of the country. Today was the day Kyiv sent Is there not a grassroots movement though by Russian speakers in Eastern Ukraine who are not happy with the current situation? We do have difference in my country. That's true. Every country has differences, but we are ready to bridge all this difference. Speaker 2: Easter Sunday was anything but peaceful in this corner of Eastern Ukraine. At least 2 people were killed in a gunfight near Slovians at this makeshift check point manned by pro Russian separatists. They say they were attacked by a convoy of ultranationalists called the right sector whose power base is in the west. Speaker 1: It's not clear what happened here, but this is exactly the kind of incident that can really blow this situation up into a civil war. US officials say the vice presidents in Kyiv to boost economic and political assistance to authorities there. Speaker 3: Speaking to its new pro western leaders, US vice president Joe Biden pledged to help Ukraine through the crisis, including an aid package of $50,000,000. Speaker 4: We can help in stabilizing and strengthening Ukraine's economy Speaker 5: by helping you withstand the unfair economic pressure being thrust upon you. We stand ready Speaker 6: to do that, and I say Speaker 1: ready. Ukrainian people deserve to, determine their future, again, free from outside interference, and that's what the United States is trying to do. And, to the extent that we here at CIA can work with our partners in Ukraine and other areas to give them the, the information, the capabilities that they need in order to bring stability and security back to the country, we will do that.

4/17. More on the CIA operating in Ukraine. “The first casualty of war is the truth.” What the media does not tell you…which is a lot.

@C_N_F__on__X - Conservative News Feed

If you listen to the Biden administration and pundits from the left they will tell you that Russia invaded Ukraine. The war would be over if Russia would just pack up their bags and go home. As we all know the first casualty of war is the truth. What if I told you Ukraine has been invaded long before 2022 and not by Russia? The Office For Strategic Services was the intelligence agency for the United States during World War Two. The OSS was dissolved a month after the end of the war. The war ended but the intelligence gathering and espionage was just getting started. The OSS was disbanded in 1945 but it never really went away. The CIA has been involved in clandestine activities shaping geopolitics all over the globe since its inception in 1947. The CIA has been confirmed to be responsible for disinformation campaigns, color revolutions, regime changes and assassinations. Do you really think the US had nothing to do with the Maidan Coup and the reshaping of Ukraine? #DeepState

Video Transcript AI Summary
The truth about US interference in Ukraine, dating back to WWII when CIA worked with Ukrainian Nazis, led to the rise of extremist groups like Svoboda and Right Sector. Yanukovych's refusal of IMF's offer sparked a US-backed coup orchestrated by the State Department and Joe Biden. The push for war against Russia serves globalist interests, not patriotism.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: The first casualty of war is the truth. And if the American people knew the truth about US interference in Ukraine, they might not be so eager to start World War 3. During World War 2, Western Ukraine sided with the Nazis. After the war, the CIA helped Ukrainian Nazis evade the Nuremberg trials and began operating with them within the Ukraine. After decades of CIA infiltration, Speaker 1: the Ukrainian People's Movement Speaker 0: the Ukrainian People's Movement emerged in 1989 and gave birth to extremist groups, Svoboda, Trident, and Right Sector. Neo Nazi groups pushing for the ethnic cleansing of Ukraine. Extremist groups cultivated by the CIA, supported by the US state department, and used by the IMF to bring Ukraine to heal. When Yanukovych beat NATO backed Yushchenko in the 2010 elections, his government was being pressured into signing an EU association agreement by the International Monetary Fund in their typical conquer by debt offer that would financially ruin the Ukraine and place them at the mercy of the World Bank. Yanukovych declined their offer. And in today's corrupt world, you're not allowed to say no to the IMF. Funded by western NGOs associated with George Soros and the CIA, a highly organized color revolution was immediately deployed against Yanukovych. Leaked phone calls reveal that the US state department was orchestrating this coup d'etat from within the US embassy with support from vice president Joe Biden. Speaker 2: Sullivan's come back to me, VFR saying, you need Biden, and I said, probably tomorrow for an attaboy and to get the deeds to stick. So Biden's willing. Speaker 1: So you had this remarkable phone call where you have these 2 senior officials of the US government apparently talking about a coup or how they were planning to restructure the government of Ukraine. Speaker 2: Fuck the EU. No. Exactly. Speaker 0: Supporting a criminal war against Russia does not make you a patriot. It makes you a useful idiot of the globalist banking cartel. The very same entities waging war on all of humanity with vaccine passports and experimental jam.

5/17. The Joe Biden connection in Ukraine….2014.

@ChrisToddNolan - Christopher Todd Nolan

A few years ago I made a series of documentaries on the war in Ukraine. This relatively short video is a summary of how it really began in 2014. An unelected government began killing its "own" people in the south-east of the country after visits from Joe Biden and John Brennan.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Masters of war build guns, sparking protests turned revolution in Ukraine. Yanukovych's refusal to sign EU agreement led to his removal. Russia's involvement in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine escalated tensions. US offered support to Ukraine, condemning separatist referendums. Violent clashes ensued, with accusations of Ukrainian forces causing civilian casualties. Ceasefire ended, military actions resumed. The conflict continues, with both sides engaging in armed confrontations.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Come, you masters of war. You that build up guns. Speaker 1: Is there now going to be some sort of mass public Speaker 2: protest movement? Speaker 3: How does this suddenly morph from a protest into a revolution, as the protesters are calling, looking to topple an elected government. Speaker 2: It's not an easy job to topple the government, to change the president, to sign an association agreement, but this is our agenda. We are waiting that president Yanukovych return back to Brussels and sign up agreement. Speaker 4: Good to Speaker 0: see you. We're here to come back. Would you like some bread? Speaker 4: Signing the association agreement with the EU would also put Ukraine on a path to strengthening the sort of stable and predictable business environment that investors require. Speaker 5: The free world is with you. America is Speaker 4: with you. I am with you. It would be a huge shame to see 5 years worth of work and preparation go to waste if the if the AA is not signed in the near future. So it is time to finish the job. Speaker 6: We have been actively engaged in what's been happening in the Ukraine. Speaker 4: I don't think cleats should go into the government. I don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's a good idea. I think Yats is the guy who's got the economic experience, the governing experience. Obviously not gonna comment on private diplomatic conversations. Speaker 5: These, brave Ukrainians took to the streets in order to stand peacefully against tyranny. Speaker 6: And we expect, the Ukrainian government, to show the strength, to not resort to violence and dealing with, peaceful protesters. Speaker 5: So instead, they were met with snipers who picked them off one after the other. Speaker 7: From one of the upper windows of the hotel, a shock rang out. I saw the shooter. He was wearing one of the protesters' green helmets. Speaker 8: So that there is a stronger and stronger understanding that behind snipers, they were it was not Yanukovych, but it was somebody from the new coalition. Some journalists who were with me, they saw during the day day that one member of parliament was just beat in front of parliament, pinning credit skies with the guns on the streets. Speaker 7: In special session, Ukraine's parliament voted to remove president Viktor Yanukovych. Speaker 8: Because the richest party also said, well, you will see that if the people from the eastern part of Ukraine will will really wake up and, and and and will start to demand their rights. Speaker 9: And the latest is that several 100 Russian troops, have arrived arrived at a Ukrainian military base not far from here where there is now a confrontation. Speaker 5: You just don't invade another country on phony pretext, in order to assert your interests. Speaker 10: Pro Russian demonstrators came here. They swept their way in. They even raised the Russian flag, but they've now been kicked out. The deputy mayor of this city has told the BBC that he thinks a referendum may be a chance to calm tensions here, to give pro Russian population chance to decide its own status. Speaker 11: Crimeans voted overwhelmingly on Sunday to break away from Ukraine and join Russia in a referendum the west condemned as Speaker 2: the army. Speaker 6: In Ukraine, pro Russian militants have seized a second building in the eastern city of Sloviansk, the local headquarters of the Speaker 12: state security service. Not just the police headquarters or an administration building that's occupied. Here in Sloviansk, the whole city is under control of pro Russia forces because they've got checkpoints on all Speaker 6: the entrances and access. On his Facebook page, the Ukrainian interior minister promised a very tough response. He said there's a difference between protesters and terrorists. Speaker 13: Various people have said that John Brennan, the head of the CIA, traveled possibly under another name to Kyiv. And I just wanted to know, did he travel there? Does it have anything to do with this action? Speaker 5: Just to No. It it happened only in in the in some commands from Moscow. I don't know. So Thank you. Speaker 14: Were you in Kyiv recently? Speaker 15: I was in Kyiv a couple of weeks ago. Yes. Speaker 14: Mhmm. Could you tell us what your mission was? Speaker 15: I was out there to, interact with, our Ukrainian partners and friends. Speaker 7: Ukraine's acting president has announced the start of an anti terrorist operation in the east of the country. Today was Speaker 2: the day Kyiv sent in troops Speaker 7: to try to wrest back control of the east. Speaker 2: Is there not a grassroots movement, though, by Russian speakers in Eastern Ukraine who are not happy with the current situation? We do have difference in my country. That's true. Every country has differences, but we are ready to bridge all the difference. Speaker 16: Easter Sunday was anything but peaceful in this corner of Eastern Ukraine. At least 2 people were killed in a gunfight near Slovians at the snake ship's checkpoint manned by pro Russian separatists. They say they were attacked by a convoy of ultranationalists called the right sector whose power base is in the west. Speaker 17: It's not clear what happened here, but this is exactly the kind of incident that Speaker 18: could really blow this situation up into a civil war. US officials say the vice president's in Kyiv to boost economic and political assistance to authorities there. Speaker 19: Speaking to its new pro western leaders, US vice president Joe Biden pledged to help Ukraine through the crisis, including an aid package of $50,000,000. Speaker 20: We can help in stabilizing and strengthening Ukraine's economy by helping you withstand the unfair economic pressure being thrust upon you. We stand ready to do that, and I say Speaker 15: ready. Ukrainian people deserve to, determine their future. Again, free from outside interference, and that's what the United States is trying to do. And, to the extent that we here at CIA can work with our partners in Ukraine and other areas to to give them the, the information, the the capabilities that they need in order to bring stability and security back to that country, we will do that. Speaker 13: So tell me, why are you here? Who are these people? Speaker 17: There was a fire in the trade union's building in Odessa where the pro Russian protesters have a base of operations. Apparently, at least 30 or in the thirties, numbers of people who died, some figures are 30 one. Other people are saying 38 people at least died, many of them from smoke inhalation and from jumping from the upper stories of the building. It's not clear exactly what started the, the the blaze, and it's not clear who exactly were was caught in the fire. But as I said, there were a number of, pro Russian protesters who was probably there. Speaker 5: We also are are very concerned about efforts of pro Russian separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk, to organize, frankly, a contrived, a bogus independence referendum on May 11th. Speaker 1: Ukrainian forces knew what they wanted, and they came in force. Their assault on Mariupolsk police station sustained. Ukraine says it's a legitimate military action to evict pro Russian militias out of buildings, and many here said nothing more than the action of a fascist regime supported by the west. Rocket propelled grenades fired in city center streets, shooting where yesterday people were shopping. They've recaptured the police station alright, but in saving it, they destroyed it. Speaker 21: This is quite a statement. Ukrainian forces have now left, leaving this behind them. The point they're making, Mariupol, is one time they are not going to surrender without a plan. Speaker 22: Polling stations are being prepared across Donetsk for Sunday's referendum, a vote widely condemned as illegitimate. It's unclear what a yes result would lead to. The question is, do you support the People's Republic of Donetsk? Speaker 4: We do not recognize, the illegal referendum that took place in portions of Donetsk and Luhansk, over the weekend. It was illegal under Ukrainian law and an attempt to create further division and disorder in the country. Speaker 23: We will not recognize the annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol. Likewise, we do not recognize the so called referenda of yesterday. Speaker 24: So if you can't get them to talk to the table, how are you going to take back those areas that they control without the first few months of your presidency being drenched in blood? Speaker 13: Yeah. Those are helicopters now moving in on the airport. Speaker 4: The day after Ukrainian forces launched air strikes to drive separatists from the airport, Speaker 5: Donbas, Speaker 2: defend and clean and bring the peace in the Donbas, including the fighting against terror. This is the one of the main function of the state, to defend the Speaker 0: people. Speaker 3: The bloody aftermath of a strike on the separatist headquarters in the heart of Luhansk. 5 women killed, 3 men, officials say. Speaker 13: Some people were saying there was kind of there was an airstrike in Luhansk, that there was some bomb drop on the administrative headquarters of the separatists. Is it true? No. Speaker 3: The Ukrainians claim that this had nothing to do with a military aircraft which was circling overhead at the time of the attack. But from what we can tell, this looks like very heavy cannon fire from an aircraft strafing through this square. Speaker 5: No bombing, either by from airplanes or artillery were permitted by the, the, you know, leaders of the Ministry of Defense. Speaker 25: So everything that the Ukrainians are doing, I just want to understand your position correctly. Everything that they are doing is actually self defense. Correct? Speaker 26: They're I mean, look. I mean, I don't wanna use the term self defense, but this is Ukrainian territory that they are defending. Speaker 27: US president Barack Obama has offered Kyiv financial and security support during his first meeting with his newly elected Ukrainian counterpart. Speaker 0: Also, Giovanni, my dear friend. I so was together. You were fighting the sun. And when I ask you why, you raise your sticks and cry, and I follow my friend. How did you Speaker 7: These volunteers have joined the so called Azov battalion, a special force raised by the interior ministry in Kiev. Speaker 17: A few hours left until the end of the ceasefire. Speaker 21: Oh, Speaker 10: A truce ends. Within hours, military action resumes. Speaker 7: This morning, an active phase of the anti terrorist operation has been renewed. Our armed forces are launching strikes against the terrorist bases. Speaker 14: Multiple rockets hit a residential area in Western Donetsk called the Petrovsky District, killing 7 people, including 2 children. But in 4 attacks against populated areas that human rights was investigated in Donetsk, the evidence strongly indicates that Ukrainian government forces were responsible. Speaker 26: Among the dead, a female guard at the Lugansk Southern District School killed by Speaker 13: shrapnel. Speaker 0: But built it too strong. You play with my wallet like it's your little toy. You put a gun in his head, and you hide from his hands. And you turn and run farther when the basketball is fine.

Speaker 0: This is a war that shouldn't ever happen. It's a war that Russians tried repeatedly to settle on terms that were very, very beneficial to Ukraine and us. The major thing they wanted was for us to keep NATO out of the Ukraine. The big military contractors want to add new countries to NATO all the time. Why? Because then that country has to form its military purchases to NATO weapon specifications, which means certain companies, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics Boeing, and Lockheed get a trapped market. Through March of 2022, we committed a $113,000,000,000. Just to give you an example, we could have built a home for almost every homeless person in this country. We then committed another 24,000,000,000 since that 2 months ago, and now president Biden's asking for another 60,000,000,000. But the big, big are gonna come after the war when we have to rebuild all the things that we destroyed. Mitch McConnell was asked, and we really afford to send spend a 113,000,000 to Ukraine. He said, don't worry. It's not really going to Ukraine. It's going to American Defense Manufacturers. So he just admitted it's a money laundering scheme. And who do you think owns every one of those companies? BlackRock. BlackRock. So Tim Scott, during the Republican debate, said, don't worry. It's not a gift to Ukraine. It's a loan. So raise your hand if you think that that loan is ever getting paid back. Yeah. Of course, it's not. So why do they call it a loan? Because if they call it a loan, they can impose loan conditions. And what are the loan conditions that we impose on? Number 1, of extreme austerity program so that if you're poor in Ukraine, you're gonna be poor forever. Number 2, most important, Ukraine has to put all of its government owned assets up for sale to multinational corporations, including all of its agricultural land, the biggest single asset in Europe. In Ukraine, there's been a 1000 years of war fought over that land. It's the richest farmland in the world. It's the breadbasket of Europe. 500,000 kids almost. Ukrainian kids have died to keep that land as part of Ukraine. They almost certainly didn't know about that slown condition. They've already sold 30% of it. The buyers were DuPont, Cargill, and Monsanto. Who do you think owns all of those companies? BlackRock. Yeah. BlackRock. And then in December, president Biden gave out the contract to rebuild Ukraine. And who do you think got that contract? Accra. So they're doing this right in front of us. They don't even care that we know anymore because they know that they can get away with it. And how do they know that? Because they have a strategy. And that strategy is old, old strategy, which is they keep us at war with each other. They keep us hating on each other. They keep the Republicans and Democrats fighting each other and black against white and all these divisions that they sell.

The EPA budget is $12 billion, while Ukraine receives 12 times that amount annually. Even after the war ends, the US plans to spend half a trillion on rebuilding Ukraine. Mitch McConnell stated that the money goes to US military contractors, benefiting the country. This reveals the money laundering scheme involving companies like Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Lockheed.

Speaker 0: Higher budget for EPA is $12,000,000,000, so that's all we have for the environment in this country. We're giving 12 times that to Ukraine in 1 year, and that's just the beginning because even if the Ukraine war ended today, we're still gonna spend a half a trillion there rebuilding the country. The contracts to rebuild are even bigger than the war contracts. So Mitch McConnell was asked in in March because the Republicans are supposed to be concerned about budget deficits. And he said, can we really afford a $113,000,000,000 he was at? He said, don't worry. It's not really going to Ukraine. It's going to US military contractors, so it's good for our country. Oh, he just admitted exactly what we've all been saying, that it's all just a money laundering scheme. A Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Lockheed. Who do you think owns every one of those countries?

Putin is determined not to lose Ukraine due to its strategic importance for Russia's security, agriculture, and energy pipelines. The US supports Ukraine out of ideology, not economic interest, leading to a geopolitical power struggle. Ukraine becomes a pawn in a global game involving Russia, the US, Iran, and China.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Putin cannot lose. He will not let himself lose. Russia knows. They know they have to have Ukraine. They know that they have to have it to protect themselves against military pressure from the West. They have to have it for agricultural reasons. Ukraine is the agricultural bed to support a future Russia. They have major, oil and natural gas pipelines that flow through eastern Ukraine. They they cannot let Ukraine fall outside of their sphere of influence. They cannot. The United States doesn't really have any economic vested interest in Ukraine. The West siding with Ukraine is exclusively ideological, and it's putting them in a place where they fight a war with Russia so the whole world can see Russia's capabilities. As sad as it is to say, man, Ukraine is a pawn on a table for superpowers to calculate each other's capacities. Right now, we've only talked about Russia and United States. We haven't even talked about Iran. We haven't even talked about China. Right? It is a pawn on a table. This is a chicken fight so that people get to watch and see what the other trainers are

Video Transcript AI Summary
In the early 1980s, 50 companies owned 90% of American media, now just 6 major conglomerates control it all. Comcast is the largest, making $69 billion in 2014, owning NBCUniversal and Hulu. Disney follows with $48 billion revenue, owning theme parks, movie studios, and TV networks. 21st Century Fox makes $32 billion annually, focusing on film and TV, including Fox News. Time Warner lost $100 billion after a merger with AOL, now separate. CBS and Viacom were once one company controlled by National Amusements. Today, 5 conglomerates effectively control the media landscape.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: In the early 19 eighties, roughly 50 different companies owned 90% of American media. By 1992, that number had dropped to less than 2 dozen. And in recent years, that same 90% has fallen to just 6 major conglomerates. Although various mergers and layers of external control make this an inexact number, most of the big six hold interests in film production, cable and broadcast television, news, sports, music, and online streaming. So who exactly controls the media? As of 2015, the largest media company in the world by revenue is Comcast. According to the SEC, in 2014, they reportedly made nearly $69,000,000,000 Like the other conglomerates, Comcast owns nearly every step in media production and distribution. In fact, Comcast is the single largest cable provider on Earth. Content is created through subsidiaries like NBCUniversal, which is then broadcast over TV and the Internet through Xfinity. Comcast is also a major Internet service provider, covering more than half of all US broadband customers. Even online streaming giant, Hulu, is jointly owned by 3 of the big six. The next largest conglomerate is the Walt Disney Company, with reportedly roughly $48,000,000,000 in revenue. Disney has holdings in theme parks, movie studios, and diverse television networks such as ABC, A and E, and ESPN. They also own a number of legacy companies like Pixar, Marvel Entertainment, and Lucasfilms of the Star Wars franchise. The 3rd of the big six is 21st Century Fox, which emerged in 2013 as a spin off of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. Today, Fox makes about $32,000,000,000 a year and is predominantly focused on film and television, including Fox News Channel, which made nearly $800,000,000 in ad revenue in 2,014. The last independent conglomerate is Time Warner, with revenues of about $27,000,000,000 In the 19 nineties, they were the largest media company in the world, but an unsuccessful merger with AOL at the peak of the dotcom bubble made them lose nearly $100,000,000,000 in 2002. Since then, AOL and Time Inc, as well as Time Warner's entire cable division, have become separate companies. Because they are now unrelated, Time Warner and Time Warner Cable are the 4th and 5th largest media companies in the world, according to Forbes. Finally, the last 2 are CBS and Viacom. In 2013, they reported about 14 to $15,000,000,000 in revenue each. They used to be a single company controlled by National Amusements, a movie theater chain. Today, although they are individually held, National Amusements owners have enough stock in both to effectively dictate control. So in a way, there aren't even 6 conglomerates, but 5. You state cat You are fake news.

Video Transcript AI Summary
A robot named Aladdin, created by Larry Fink of BlackRock, controls $21 trillion of the global economy. It directs major banks, investment funds, and traders, dominating ETFs, bonds, and stocks. Aladdin's influence extends to government decisions and real estate markets. With plans to expand further, concerns arise about its growing power and potential impact on wealth distribution. Larry Fink's vision of a super smart robot has evolved into a force reshaping financial landscapes worldwide.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: What if I told you there is a robot that controls more wealth than any country on earth? A robot so powerful that in the last 10 years, it has quietly created the biggest company in the world. This is the story of a robot called Aladdin. It's Wall Street's best kept secret, and it's gobbling up every asset class across every industry. Aladdin now controls $21,000,000,000,000 of our global economy. To put that in perspective, that's more than a $20,000,000,000,000 GDP of the U. S. Or the $15,000,000,000,000 GDP of the entire European Union. The new statesman wrote, the total physical cash of all 7,000,000,000 people in every company, bank vault, wallet and piggy bank in the world is around $5,000,000,000,000 Aladdin has grown into a system responsible for more than 4 times the value of all the money in the world. This one robot directs the actions of the U. S. Federal Reserve, almost every major bank and investment fund on Wall Street and over 17,000 traders. It controls half of all ETFs, 17% of the bond market, 10% of the global stock market and carries out a quarter of a 1000000 trades every day and billions of forecasts every week. Year after year, it hoovers up trillions of data points on every market, every company, every asset and now even each of us, what we buy, sell and say so that it knows what to buy and what to sell far better than any human being. Every major bank, company and investment fund has come to rely on Aladdin and its all powerful AI and algorithms to beat the market. And if they didn't, they've collapsed and failed in Aladdin's wake. And you know what the craziest part of this story is? This robot is just getting started. So where did Aladdin come from and how did it get so powerful? Aladdin is the brainchild of Larry Fink, the founder of BlackRock, and its total dominance has made his company the biggest shadow bank in the world and the most powerful company on earth. The story you're about to hear is equally unbelievable and terrifying. In fact, you would think it was science fiction if it wasn't very real and happening today. This story starts in the 1980s when Larry Fink was making 1,000,000 pioneering mortgage backed securities at Wall Street Bank First Boston. That's right. The same mortgage backed securities that caused the 2,008 global financial crisis 20 years later but back in the eighties he was in an epic wall street rivalry with luis ranieri at salomon brothers made famous as the big swinging dick in Michael Lewis's book, Lies Poker. Back then, Larry was making 1,000,000 for the bank and was on track to be first bottom CEO. And then in 1986, an error in the back office computer models led to Larry making the wrong trades and he lost the company a $100,000,000 The result was Larry leaving the bank as a failure with a stupid computer to blame. With that experience, Larry had just one ambition, to build a super smart robot that could pick out risk and opportunity in the market and do it better than any computer or human could do. In 1988, he launched a new startup BlackRock with a tiny coding team to give birth to this robot. Its name, Aladdin, which stands for asset, liability, and debt derivative investment network. In its 1st 10 years, Aladdin was fed information about every asset, price movement, and risk variable in global bond market, Larry Specialty. And in 1999, when Aladdin turned 11, Aladdin was getting so intelligent at picking losers and winners that Larry began selling access to its data to other Wall Street firms. That same year, he took BlackRock public on the New York Stock Exchange. Straight after the IPO, the dotcom bust burst, pushing a wall of money from the stock market to bonds, which Aladdin had become the undisputed world champion in. Within years, BlackRock had become a $1,000,000,000,000 company. And as money started shifting back to shares, what did Larry do? He bought the asset management arm of Merrill Lynch, which was focused to shares. So the gift for Aladdin's 18th birthday, all the data points for the entire stock market. And suddenly, Aladdin had a new playground analyzing every stock trade and risk factor for every company on the stock market. As a result, today, BlackRock together with his two closest rivals Vanguard and State Street, both of which also rely on a large amount of knowledge have become the biggest shareholders of over 40% of all public listed companies in America. 2008, the global financial crisis hits and before Aladdin turns 21 years old is caught on by every Wall Street Bank and Timothy Geithner, the head of the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury. As soon as Lehman Brothers collapsed and the Wall Street meltdown began, the US government came calling to save the next collapsing bank Bear Stearns. It was Aladdin who decided which assets to keep and which to leave in the $30,000,000,000 rescue package. And few people know it was a robot that saved America from disaster. With that first success, the Fed, U. S. Government and now even European and Japanese central banks began relying on Aladdin to make the course on where the $2,500,000,000,000 of new money they printed should go. The majority of it, bonds and funding to prop up the mortgage companies and banks. But wait. Aren't these exactly the assets that Aladdin and BlackRock already were invested in? Exactly. But growing protests of conflict of interest were drowned out by the noise of the printing presses a very strong quarter of the year. In the Q1, we had a strong quarter of the year, which was a strong quarter of the year. In the Q1, we had a strong quarter of With BlackRock's Barclays acquisition, it got iShares, Barclays Exchange Traded Funds Units, or ETFs. And with that, Aladdin moved from dominator of bonds and equities to dominator of ETFs, just as all the biggest investors shifted from mutual funds to ETFs. And that's when in 2017, everything changed. On Aladdin's 29th birthday, Larry launched a top secret project at BlackRock code named Monarch led to the firing of his fund managers and replacing their funds with Aladdin's funds. The robot was now eliminating humans from the equation altogether. And as a result, today over 70% of all trades on U. S. Stock markets are decided by robots with Aladdin leading the way. These trades are completed from beginning to end without a human involved in high frequency trading far faster than a human can execute. Now, if this was just a story about a robot taking over the job of Wall Street traders, you might not be so concerned unless you're one of those traders. But in the last 3 years, as Aladdin hit $20,000,000,000,000 in assets, incredibly, it has begun to consume and control at an even faster rate. First, in 2020, as Aladdin turned 32 years old, the US government and Federal Reserve again came calling as the pandemic hit. Aladdin was again the one to guide the nation in what was now $4,000,000,000,000 of newly printed money. Where did the money go this time? Inexplicably, for the first time, the Fed began buying ETFs in 2020. Well, that's a little strange. And again, the price of conflict of interest were drowned out by the money printing. And then Aladdin revealed its endgame. Recently, BlackRock acquired Efront, which collects data on the things that you and I own including private equity and real estate And since then, Aladdin has consumed E Fund's data on the entire global real estate market. And yet, you guess what happened next. Over the last 2 years, BlackRock and other funds using Aladdin's data have begun buying up single family homes where they can afford to outfit the rest of us as they have unlimited financing at hyper low interest rates. The result is home prices rising by 20% over the last 2 years and pushing now even big players like Zillow out of the market. And here we see Aladdin's endgame to be the 1 hyper intelligent AI robot that not just controls Wall Street assets, but all assets, public and private. Now I'm not into conspiracy theories, but even a skeptic with eyes wide open can see the signs. We're already at a point where no one can compete without Aladdin. As CEOs and asset managers like Anthony Malloway are now saying, Aladdin is like oxygen. Without it, we wouldn't be able to function. And what about government regulation? Well, Joe Biden has appointed BlackRock Executive Brian Deese as Head of the National Economic Council, which basically means the oversight of Laddan and BlackRock is now the responsibility of BlackRock. And Biden has also appointed BlackRock Chief of Staff, Wally Adeyemo, to be assistant secretary of the Treasury, which means BlackRock is now the Treasury as well as the Treasury Advisor. And this story is far from over. The genie is out of the bottle and Aladdin has already reached a tipping point where one robot controls more wealth than any person or country. But as Aladdin's AI capabilities continue to grow and with its rate of control rising by another $1,000,000,000,000 to $2,000,000,000,000 in new assets every year, it looks inevitable that Wall Street's secret weapon could end up owning everything and we end up owning nothing.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Понимаете, я уже общался и с одним президентом США, и с другим, и с третьим. Президенты приходят и уходят, а политика не меняется. Знаете почему? Потому что очень сильна власть бюрократии. Вот человека избрали, он приходит с одними идеями, к нему приходят люди с кейсами, хорошо одетые и в темных у меня костюмах, но только не с красным галстуком, а с черным или с тёмно-синим, и начинают объяснять, как нужно делать, и все сразу меняется. И это происходит от одной администрации к другой. Что-то изменить это достаточно сложное дело. Я говорю без всякой иронии, это не потому, что кому-то не хочется, а потому что это сложно. Вот Обама, он же продвинутый человек, очень человек либеральных взглядов, правда, демократ. Он же перед выборами своими обещал закрыть Гуантанамо. Сделал? Нет. А почему? Он что, не хотел? Очень хотел, я уверен, что хотел, но не получилось. Он искренне к этому стремился. Не получается, не так все просто. Но это не самый главный вопрос, хотя это важный. Трудно себе представить: Люди в кандалах ходят там уже десятилетиями, без суда и следствия. Представьте себе, Франция бы так сделала или Россия. С потрохами бы сожрали уже давно. Нет, с тем, что это возможно и до сих пор продолжается. Вот, кстати, к вопросу о демократии. Но я сейчас не для этого пример этот привел, я привел, потому что не все так просто. Но все-таки у меня есть определенная доля сдержанного оптимизма, мне кажется, что мы по ключевым вопросам можем и должны договариваться.

According to Nathaniel Rothschild, heir to the Rothschild family fortune…“Without Ukraine, the global order may not survive.” Did you catch that??? 😳😳😳 This is a RED ALERT PANIC CALL 🚨🚨🚨 to fellow globalists saying that if the Ukraine were to fall, then so would the NEW WORLD ORDER. [They] are literally BEGGING for military reinforcements from other globalist nation states to aid in “saving” Ukraine for the NWO agenda…This is incredibly telling, especially knowing about the US funded BioLabs there. Preventing next Plandemic, perhaps? He also said that Xi was a “close second” to being the “worlds most dangerous man” next to Putin. That confirms my belief regarding Xi…George Soros said the same thing. That is NOT coincidental. There should be NO more questions. It should be ABUNDANTLY CLEAR by now that Putin, and Xi are single handedly DESTROYING the NWO, and [they] are ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED about it! HT @armygir36701799

The situation is dire, with Ukraine suffering heavy losses and international perception turning against the US.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You know, Putin every day says, I wanna settle the war. Let's negotiate. And Zelensky has said, we're not gonna negotiate. But Zelensky didn't start that way. I don't wanna, you know, belabor the history, but Russia was invaded three times through Ukraine. The last time Hitler killed 1 out of every 7 Russians. They don't want to have Ukraine join NATO. So when the wall came down in the Soviet Union Europe, Gorbachev destroyed himself politically by doing something that was very, very courageous. He went to Bush, and he said, I'm going to allow you to reunify Germany under a NATO army. I'm gonna remove 450,000 Soviet troops, but I want your commitment. After that, you will not move NATO 1 inch to the east, and we've solemnly swore we wouldn't do it. Well, then in 97, to be Brzezinski was the first of the neocons said, we're gonna move NATO a 1000 miles to the east and take 15 countries into it and surround the Soviet Union. So then we not only move it into 14 new nations, but we unilaterally walk away from our our 2 nuclear weapons treaties with the Russians. And we put Aegis missile systems in Romania and Poland 12 minutes from Moscow. When Russians did that to Cuba in 62, we came this close to nuclear war until they removed them. So the Russians don't want nukes 400 miles from Moscow. We then overthrow the Ukraine government. In 2014, they're elected government and put in a western sympathetic government. Russia then has to go into Crimea because they have a port. It's their only warm water port, and they know the new government that we just installed is gonna invite the US Navy into their port. So Russia then went into Crimea without firing a shot because the people of Crimea are Russian. Then the new Ukrainian government we installed started killing ethnic Russians in and they voted to leave and join Russia. Putin said, I don't want them. Let's give them protection and give them semi autonomy and make an agreement to keep NATO out of Ukraine. That treaty was written by Germany, France, Russia, and England, the Minsk of course. And the Ukrainian parliament, which is controlled by ultra writers, and that's a nice way of of talking about them, refused to sign it. Zelensky runs in 2019. He's He's an actor. Why did he get elected with 70% of the vote? Because he promised to sign the Minsk Accords. He promised peace. He gets in there, and he pivots. Nobody can explain why, but we know why. Because he was threatened with death by arthritis in his government and a withdrawal of support by the United States by Victoria Nuland, who's leading the economy state department. We told him he could not sign it. So then the Russians go in. They don't send a big army. They only send 40,000 people. It's a nation of 44,000,000 people. They clearly do not intend to conquer Ukraine, but they want us back at the negotiating table. We won't allow Zelensky to go back, so he goes to Israel and Turkey and says, will you please help me negotiate a treaty? The Russians just want a guarantee that Ukraine won't join NATO. Zelensky signs a treaty. Putin's people sign the treaty, and Putin starts withdrawing the Russian troops in good faith. And what happens, Joe Biden sends Boris Johnson, the British prime minister, over to Ukraine in April and forced him to tear up the treaty. And since then, 450,000 kids have died who none of them should have died. For every one Russian that dies, 5 to 8 Ukrainians died, they don't have any men left. You know, we're giving them all these weapons, but they don't have men left. It's a catastrophe, and we look kinda like like the aggressor. That's the way the rest of the world sees

Ukraine's pre-war reputation included human trafficking, child trafficking, organ trafficking, narcotics trafficking, biological warfare labs, fascism, and Nazism. These issues have global consequences. Steven Seagal sheds light on these inconvenient truths. The use of tax money for bombs and tanks in the name of democracy is misleading, as politicians are aware of Ukraine's true nature. The country serves as a proxy playground for the corrupt deep state elite.

The war in Ukraine is driven by the desire to expand NATO and strip Ukraine of its resources, according to posts. The globalist elite, including Blackrock and bankers, are interested in subjugating Ukraine and Russia. The current government in Kiev does not represent the interests of the Ukrainian people. The war could escalate and become regional or even global. The globalists are desperate and fear the rise of BRICS countries and a currency backed by gold. Intervention in western Ukraine could lead to a full-fledged war. Putin has shown restraint but may respond if provoked. The US is ill-prepared for war and cannot recruit enough soldiers.

Attention all the dupes with Ukraine flags in your profile, you’ve been had once again by the war machine. After being lied into war TWICE in Iraq, lied into Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, lied to for 20 yrs about Afghanistan,you fell for it AGAIN with Ukraine. Here’s the REAL REASON for the war in Ukraine & what you’re NOT being told by your favorite corporate news outlet:

@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense

We are in the verge of WW 3 with Russia. Why? Because we want to expand NATO into Ukraine. That’s it. That’s the reasons you and your kids may die. Ukraine didn’t even want to join NATO. They thought it was too inflammatory against their Russian neighbors. That’s why the elected Viktor Yanukovych. He was a president who ran on peace and not joining NATO. Shortly after the United States incited a Coup, and he was replaced….

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker discusses the US plan to expand NATO to Ukraine, despite Ukrainian opposition. Viktor Yanukovych's neutrality stance angers the US, leading to a crisis and coup in 2013. US involvement in the insurrection is evident, with senators openly supporting the demonstrators in Kiev. Victoria Nuland's actions, including distributing cookies, further highlight US interference in Ukraine.

Speaker 0: To understand that is in this long standing Palmerston, Brzezinski Yes. Theory. This isn't just haphazard. Oh, why don't we take Georgia? This is a plan. Okay. The Russians understand every single step of this. So another thing goes awry. What goes awry? The Ukrainians don't want NATO enlargement. The Ukrainians don't want it. They're against it. The public opinion said, no. This is very dangerous. Neutrality, it's safer. We're in between east and west. We don't want this. So they elect Viktor Yanukovych Yes. A president that says, we'll just be neutral. And that's absolutely the US's, oh, what the hell is this? Ukraine, they don't have any choice either. So Yanukovych becomes the enemy of the neocons, obviously. So they start working, of course, the way that the US does. We got to get rid of this guy. Maybe we'll elect his opponent afterwards. Maybe we'll catch him in a crisis and so forth. And indeed, at the end of 2013, the US absolutely stokes a crisis that becomes an insurrection and then becomes a coup. And I know, again, from firsthand experience, the US was profoundly implicated in that, but you can see our senators standing up in the crowd, like, if Chinese officials came to January 6th and said, yes. Yes. Go. You know, can how would we like it if, if if Chinese leaders, came and said, yeah. We we were with you a 100%. American senators standing up in Kiev saying to the demonstrators, we're with you a 100%. Victoria Nuland famously passing around the cookies, but it was much much more than the cookies.

MUST WATCH👏👏👏‼️‼️‼️ Ukraine war cause and the end game explained: War of the globalist elite, Blackrock, and bankers. Colonel Douglas Macgregor: 📑 In Ukraine, which I think happening there. And what, do you know, what is the end game? Well, for the globalists that are running the show, this is a globalist neocon elite, both on the hill as well as in the White House. And these elites in Europe, particularly in Paris, Berlin, London, they're all interested in seeing Blackrock take over Ukraine, number one, so that it can be systematically stripped of its resources and turned into a subjugated state that belongs to the larger globalist elites. But they also want to see that happen to Russia, which is why this war was never about Ukraine. It was always about what can be done to destroy Russia. And of course, since the people in charge didn't perform any strategic analysis, they never thought about purpose, method, or end state. They concluded that Russia today is still the Russia of 1992. It's weak, it's prostrate, its economy is ineffective. Remember the McCain statement, oh, Russia is Spain with a gas station. All of these arrogant displays of american hubris, treating Russia as though it was a third class nation with a fourth class military. Well, we're getting an education right now. We paid no attention to the Russians, who had legitimate concerns about what we were doing in eastern Ukraine. We were building an army to attack them. We put a hostile government into that country in 2014. And we kept telling them that it made no difference to us what they thought or what they cared about. They said, we don't want NATO on our border. No one paid attention. President Trump tried to listen, but he was surrounded by people who subverted him, people who were not loyal to the president, who took an oath of obedience to the orders of the president and then ignored them. So what's the outcome? You've got a very serious war that could become regional, even global, and no one in the White House seems to really grasp that. But we're losing. The globalists are losing. And when the ground dries, and in June, you're going to see a massive russian offensive. And most of what we call this thing called Ukraine is going to be swept away, especially that government in Kiev. But that government doesn't represent the interests of the ukrainian people. They represent the interests of this globalist elite who are interested in resources and stripping them and using them and exploiting them to make money. Yeah, it feels like the biggest threat to America is actually what's happened to the petrodollar. When you have Putin now talking with the Saudis and Putin now talking with Xi, and you get rid of the petrodollar, and all of a sudden all that borrowing that we do where we're living way above our means, that's no longer possible, plausible or worse. I think what you're saying is this war has become financial as well as military. And the globalists understand that they're going to lose this war. And what will come of this is that the BRICS, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, are going to be increased by 81 additional members. And all of these people are going to go to a currency that is backed by gold. And once they go to that currency backed by gold, whether it is one currency or a basket of currencies, it doesn't make any difference. Yes, we are in a lot of trouble. The globalists know that, and it is why they are so desperate right now. And the greatest fear that I have is that when the Russians do attack and it becomes abundantly clear that Ukraine is finished, I mean, it's already obvious to anybody who visits the place for any length of time. It's in ruins. But once that occurs, I fear that there will be pressure to commit US forces in Poland and Romania, along with Polish forces and potentially Romanian ones, to western Ukraine. And if that occurs, the gloves will come off, because truthfully, thus far, Putin has exercised tremendous restraint, tremendous patience. He does not want a war with the west. If he wanted that, wed already have it. But if we intervene in western Ukraine, it's over. We'll be in a full fledged war. Expand on that a little bit, because it's sort of interesting. You know, I think we grossly miscalculated. Putin had made several speeches over the last 20 years, repeatedly saying, please do not advance the border to Russia. Do not try to transform Ukraine into a hostile actor, an actor with hostile intentions towards Russia. What happens in Ukraine is of existential strategic interest to us, just as theoretically, what happens in Mexico is of existential strategic interest to us. Although this administration has decided to ignore it. He expected that we would negotiate, that he would demonstrate that this was serious, and that Russia wanted its population in eastern Ukraine, which is really russian, to have equal rights before the law. He wanted to end the oppression of the Russians that lived there, and he wasn't going to surrender Crimea. The reason he went into Crimea is he was afraid it was going to be turned into a US naval base. Biden said. Our goal is regime change. Our goal is to get rid of Putin, and our goal is ultimately to divide Russia into constituent parts, then exploit it. All of his supporters, his staffers, everyone in the globalist camp knows this is the truth. The so called oligarchs Kolomoisky, Soros and others were all part of this. None of this is news. Finally, he said, enough's enough. He stopped. They set up a strategic defense. They ran an economy of force mission, and now they have a force in place that can go as far as it needs to go, which includes to the polish border. They have a plan for 31, 31 month war against us if we insist on fighting it. And we are in no shape to fight a war. We can't even recruit the United States army or the Marines. The Marines are running around trying to recruit illegals and are being encouraged to do so by the administration. Is that what you want in the ground force, to fight for this country? Forget it. It's not going to work.

This war should never have happened. Russia sought terms favorable to Ukraine, primarily to keep NATO out. Military contractors benefit from NATO expansion, ensuring a market for their weapons. Since March 2022, the U.S. has committed over $113 billion to Ukraine, with more requested, while the real beneficiaries are American defense manufacturers. Mitch McConnell suggested this funding is a money laundering scheme, with BlackRock owning many of these companies. Loans to Ukraine come with harsh conditions, including austerity and the sale of government assets, particularly valuable agricultural land. Despite the sacrifices of Ukrainians, 30% of this land has already been sold to companies like DuPont and Cargill, also linked to BlackRock. The rebuilding contracts for Ukraine have gone to BlackRock, revealing a strategy to maintain divisions among us while profiting from the conflict.

Speaker 0: This is a war that should have never happened. It's a war that Russians tried repeatedly to settle on terms that were very, very beneficial to Ukraine and us. The major thing they wanted was for us to keep NATO out of the Ukraine. The big military contractors want to add new countries to NATO all the time. Why? Because then that country has to conform its military purchases to NATO weapon specifications, which means certain companies, North Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics Boeing, and Lockheed get a trapped market. March of 2022, we committed a $113,000,000,000. Just to give you an example, we could have built a home for almost every homeless person in this country. We then committed another 24,000,000,000 since that 2 months ago, and now president Biden's asking for another 60,000,000. But the big, big expenses are gonna come after the war when we have to rebuild you all the things that we destroyed. Mitch McConnell was asked, and we really afford to send spend a 113,000,000,000 to Ukraine. He said, don't worry. It's not really going to Ukraine. It's going to American defense manufacturers. So he just admitted it's a money laundering scheme. And who do you think owns every one of those companies? BlackRock. BlackRock. So Tim Scott, during the republican debate, said, don't worry. It's not a gift to Ukraine. It's a loan. Raise your hand if you think that that loan is ever getting paid back. Yeah. Of course, it's not. So why do they call it a loan? Because if they call it a loan, they can impose loan conditions. And what are the loan conditions that we impose on? Number 1, a extreme austerity program so that if you're poor in Ukraine, you're gonna be poor forever. Number 2, most important, Ukraine has to put all of its government owned assets up for sale to multinational corporations, including all of its agricultural land, the biggest single asset in Europe, in Ukraine. There's been a 1000 years of war fought over that land. It's the richest farmland in the world. It's the breadbasket of Europe. 500,000 kids almost. Ukrainian kids have died to keep that land as part of Ukraine. They almost certainly didn't know about this long condition. They've already sold 30% of it. The buyers were DuPont, Cargill, and Monsanto. Who do you think owns all of those companies? BlackRock. Yeah. BlackRock. And then in December, president Biden gave out the contract to rebuild Ukraine. And who do you think got that contract? BlackRock. So they're doing this right in front of us. They don't even care that we know anymore because they know that they can get away with it. And how do they know that? Because they have a strategy. And that strategy is old, old strategy, which is they keep us at war with each other. They keep us hating on each other. They keep the Republicans and Democrats fighting each other and black against white and all these divisions that they sell.

I just learned from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that Biden allegedly blocked a peace deal in Ukraine back in April 2022. He claims Biden sent Boris Johnson to pressure Zelensky into abandoning an already agreed-upon deal with Russia. This raises serious questions about the motives behind the war—suggesting that Biden and NATO preferred conflict over peace. The narrative implies that the ongoing flow of weapons and financial support was aimed at regime change in Russia, rather than defending democracy. How many more revelations will it take for people to see the truth?

This agreement, which would have kept Donbas and Lugansk within Ukraine, was reached as Russia began withdrawing troops. Simultaneously, Biden declared his aim was regime change in Russia, while Defense Secretary Austin stated the U.S. sought to exhaust the Russian army.

President Biden stated that month that this object that his objective in the war was regime change in Russia. His defense secretary Lloyd Austin simultaneously explained that America's purpose in the war was to exhaust the Russian army to degrade its capacity to fight anywhere else in the world.

I believe that if you think Russia initiated the conflict in 2022, you might be misinformed. Understanding Victoria Nuland's role in Ukraine in 2014 is crucial. The Deep State, particularly the Obama administration, funded militant groups to instigate a civil war and orchestrated regime change. After the 2014 coup, the US effectively controlled Ukraine, using it for various covert operations. The buildup of Ukraine's military was aimed at confronting Russia, and the mainstream media has consistently misrepresented the truth about this situation.

@WarClandestine - Clandestine

If you still believe that Russia started this conflict in 2022, then you are either corrupt, ignorant, or brainwashed. If you don’t know who Victoria Nuland is, or what she was doing in Ukraine in 2014, then you have no idea what’s going on. The Deep State started this war. It was the Obama CIA/State Dept that funded Nazi militant groups to start a civil war in Ukraine, and initiated regime change to a CIA/State Dept puppet, Yatseniuk. This was all revealed in the leaked phone call between State Dept diplomats and Deep State agents, Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt (link in next post). After the Maidan coup in February 2014, the US CIA/State Dept owned Ukraine via proxy, and the CIA began using Ukraine as a giant offshore playground for criminal racketeering and money laundering. Ukraine became one giant CIA base, directly on Russia’s border. Then the US/NATO began building up Ukraine’s army for the sole purpose of one day fighting Russia. The US/NATO began supplying Ukraine with weapons, equipment, missiles, training, intelligence, etc. Covert elements within the US government, along with their European partners in NATO, used espionage to overthrow and take control of the nation of Ukraine, then built a massive standing army on Russia’s border, then tried to bring Ukraine into NATO, and thus start WW3. If you are still buying the official MSM narrative about this conflict, you should not be engaged in conversations. Everything the MSM told you about Ukraine/Russia has been a lie, and in many cases, the inverse of the truth.

Speaker 0: Democrats have recklessly spent trillions of dollars of wasteful and unnecessary government programs, setting off the worst inflation since Jimmy Carter. But worst of all, the Biden Harris administration has taken a world that was at peace under president Trump, and they lit it on fire. First, president Biden botched the Afghanistan withdrawal, displaying incompetence and weakness for the whole world to see. Then he provoked, yes provoked, the Russians to invade Ukraine with talk of NATO expansion. Afterward, he rejected every opportunity for peace in Ukraine, including a deal to end the war just two months after it broke out. Now the war is deep into its third year with no end in sight. Hundreds of thousands of people are dead. Hundreds of billions of our taxpayer dollars have gone up in smoke. President Biden sold us this new forever war by promising it would weaken Russia and strengthen America. Well, how does that look today? Russia's military is bigger than before, while our own stockpiles are dangerously depleted. Every day, there are new calls for escalation, and the world looks on in horror as Joe Biden's demented policy takes us to the brink of World War three. Speaker 1: You seem very reliant on accepting Putin's world view rather than perhaps the stark reality of the barbarism with which he's executed this war. Speaker 2: Yeah. May maybe because I know too much about The United States, because the first war in Europe after World War two was The US bombing of Belgrade for seventy eight days to change borders of a European state. The idea was to break Serbia, to create Kosovo as an enclave, and then to install Banda Steel, which is the largest NATO base in the Balkans, in the Southwest Balkans. So The US started this under Clinton, that we will break the borders, we will illegally bomb another country, we didn't have any UN authority. This was a, quote, NATO mission to do that. Then I know The United States went to war repeatedly, illegally, in what it did in Afghanistan, and then what it did in Iraq, and then what it did in Syria, which was the Obama administration, especially Obama and Hillary Clinton, tasking the CIA to overthrow Bashar al Assad, and then what it did with NATO illegally bombing Libya to topple Muammar Gaddafi, and then what it did in Kyiv in February 2014. I happened to see some of that with my own eyes. The US overthrew Yanukovych together with right wing Ukrainian military forces. We overthrew a president. And what's interesting, by the way, is we overthrew Yanukovych the day after the European Union representatives had reached an agreement with Yanukovych to have early elections, a government of national unity, and a stand down of both sides. That was agreed. The next thing that happens is the opposition, quote unquote, says we don't agree. They stormed the government buildings, and they deposed Yanukovych, and within hours The United States says yes, we support the new government. It didn't say, oh, we had an agreement, that's unconstitutional, what you did. So we overthrew a government, contrary to a promise that the European Union had made. And by the way, Russia, The United States and the EU were parties to that agreement, and The United States An Hour afterwards backed the coup. Okay, so everyone's got a little bit to answer for. In 2015, the Russians did not say, We want the Donbas back. They said peace should come through negotiations. And negotiations between the ethnic Russians in the East Of Ukraine and this new regime in Kyiv led to the Minsk Two agreement. The Minsk Two agreement was voted by the UN Security Council unanimously. It was signed by the government of Ukraine. It was guaranteed explicitly by Germany and France. And you know what? And it's been explained to me in person. It was laughed at inside the US government. This is after the UN Security Council unanimously accepted it. The Ukrainians said, we don't want to give autonomy to the region. Oh, but that's part of the treaty. The US told them, don't worry about it. Angela Merkel explained in desight, in a notorious interview, after the 2022 escalation, she said, Oh, you know, we knew that Minsk II was just a holding pattern to give Ukraine time to build its strength. No. Minsk II was a UN Security Council unanimously adopted treaty that was supposed to end the war. So when it comes to who's trustworthy, who to believe, and so forth, I guess my problem, Pierce, is I know the United States government. I know it very well. Don't trust them for a moment. I want these two sides actually to sit down in front of the whole world and say, these are the terms, then the world can judge, because we could get on paper clearly for both sides of the world. We're not gonna overthrow governments anymore, the United States needs to say. We accept this agreement, the United States needs to say. Russia needs to say we're not stepping one foot farther than whatever the boundary is actually reached, and NATO's not going to enlarge. And let's put it for the whole world to see. You know, once in a while, treaties actually hold. Let me just explain in two minutes the Ukraine war. This is not an attack by Putin on Ukraine in the way that we are told every day. This started in 1990, February ninth '19 '90. James Baker the third, our secretary of state, said to Mikhail Gorbachev, NATO will not move one inch eastward if you agree to German unification, basically ending World War two. And, Gorbachev said that's very important. Yes. NATO doesn't move, and we agree to German unification. The US then cheated on this already starting in 1994 when Clinton signed off on a, basically, a plan to expand NATO all the way to Ukraine. This is when the so called neocons took power, and, Clinton was the first agent of this. And the expansion of NATO started in 1999 with Poland, Hungary, and Czech Republic. At that point, Russia didn't much care. There was no border other than with the Konigsberg, but other than that, there was no direct threat. Then, The US, led the bombing of Serbia in 1999. That was bad, by the way, because that was a use of NATO to bomb a European capital, Belgrade, Seventy Eight Straight Days to break the country apart. The Russians didn't like that very much, but Putin became president. They swallowed it. They complained, but, even Putin started out pro European, pro American actually asked maybe we should join NATO when there was still the idea of some kind of mutually respectful relationship. Then nine eleven came, then came Afghanistan, and the Russians said, yeah, we'll support you. We understand to root out terror. But then came two other decisive actions. In 02/2002, the United States unilaterally walked out of the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty. This was probably the most decisive event never discussed in this context, but what it did was trigger The US putting in missile systems in Eastern Europe that Russia views as a dire direct threat to national security by making possible a decapitation strike of missiles that are a few minutes away from Moscow. And we put in two Aegis missile systems. We say it's defense. Russia says, how do we know it's not Tomahawk nuclear tipped missiles in your silos? You've told us we have nothing to do with this. And so we walked out of the ABM treaty unilaterally in 02/2002, and then in 02/2003, we invaded Iraq on completely phony pretenses as I've explained. In February, 04/05, we engaged in a soft regime change operation in Ukraine, the so called first color revolution. It put in office somebody that I knew and was I was friends with, and I'm kind of distantly friends with president Yushchenko because I was an adviser to the Ukrainian government in nineteen ninety three, ninety four, ninety five. And then The US had its dirty hands in this. It should not meddle in other countries' elections. But in 02/2009, Yanukovych won the election, and he became president in 02/2010 on the basis of neutrality for Ukraine. That calmed things down because The US was pushing NATO, but the people of Ukraine on the opinion polls didn't even wanna be a NATO. They knew that the country is divided between ethnic Ukrainian, ethnic Russian. What do we want with this? We wanna stay away from your problems. So in 02/22/2014, the United States participated actively in the overthrow of Yanukovych, a typical US regime change operation. Have no doubt about it. And the Russians did us a favor. They intercepted a really ugly call between Victoria Nuland, my colleague at Columbia University now. And if you know her name and what she's done, have sympathy for me. Really, between her and The US Ambassador to Ukraine, Jeffrey Pyat, who was a senior state department official till today, and they talked about regime change. They said, who's gonna be the next government? Ah, why don't we pick this one? No. Klitschko shouldn't go in. It should be Yat senuk. Ah, yes. It was Yat senuk, and we'll get we'll get the big guy, Biden, to come in and do an attaboy, they say, you know, pat them on the back. It's great. So they made the new government, and I happened to be invited to go there soon after that, not knowing any of the background, and then some of it was, in a very ugly way explained to me after I arrived how The US had participated in this. All of this is to say The US then said, okay, now NATO's really gonna enlarge, and Putin kept saying, stop. You promised no NATO enlargement. It's been by the way, I forgot to mention in 02/2004, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovia, Slovakia, Slovenia, '7 more countries in the not one inch eastward. And then okay. It's a long story, but The US kept rejecting the basic idea, don't expand NATO to Russia's border in a context where we're putting in goddamn missile systems after breaking a treaty. Twenty nineteen, we walked out of the Intermediate Nuclear Force Treaty. In 2017, we walked out of the JCPOA, the treaty with Iran. This is the partner. This is the trust building. In other words, it's completely reckless US foreign policy. On 12/15/2021, Putin put on the table a draft Russia US security agreement. You can find it online. The basis of it is no NATO enlargement. I called the White House that next week after that, begging them, take the negotiations. Putin's offered something. Avoid this war. Oh, Jeff, there's not gonna be a war. Announce that NATO's not gonna enlarge. Oh, don't worry. NATO's not gonna enlarge. I said, oh, you're gonna have a war over something that's not gonna happen? Why don't you announce them? And he said, no. No. Our policy is an open door. This is Jake Sullivan. Our policy is an open door policy. Open door for NATO enlargement. That is under the category of bullshit, by the way. You don't have your right to put your military bases anywhere you want and expect peace in this world. You have to have some prudence. There's no such thing as an open door that we're gonna be there and we're gonna put our missile systems there and that's our right. There There's no right to that. We declared in 1823, Europeans don't come to the Western Hemisphere. That's the Monroe Doctrine, the whole Western Hemisphere after all. Okay. Anyway, they turned down the negotiations. Then the special military operation started, and five days later, Zelensky says, okay. Okay. Neutrality. And then the Turks said, we'll we'll mediate this. And I flew to Ankara to discuss it with the Turkish negotiators because I wanted to hear exactly what was going on. So what was going on was they reached an agreement with a few odds and ends. And then The United States and Britain said, no way. You guys fight on. We got your back. We don't have your front. You're all gonna die. But we got your back as we kept pushing them into the front lines. That's six hundred thousand deaths now of Ukrainians since Boris Johnson flew to Kyiv to tell them to be brave. Absolutely ghastly. So when you think about your question, we have to understand we're not dealing with, as we're told every day, with this madman like Hitler coming at us and violating this and violating that, and he's gonna take over Europe. This is complete bogus, fake history that is a purely PR narrative of the US government, and it doesn't stand up at all to anyone that knows anything, and if you try to say a word of this, I got completely cut out of the New York Times back in 2022 after writing my whole life columns for them. Oh, I'd send this. Okay. And by the way, online, it's not even space. You know, there's no limit. They could publish 700 words. They would not publish, since then, 700 words for me about what I saw with my own eyes about what this war is about. They won't do it. We're playing games here. So, God forbid, a nuclear power comes at us. I don't know what's gonna happen, but we came at them, and we should stop going after China and Taiwan. So the war started. What was Putin's intention in the war? I can tell you what his intention was. It was to force Zelensky to negotiate neutrality. And that happened within seven days of the start of the invasion. You should understand this, not the propaganda that's written about this. Oh, that they failed and he was gonna take over Ukraine. Come on, ladies and gentlemen. Understand something basic. The idea was to keep NATO, and what is NATO? It's The United States off of Russia's border. No more, no less. I should add one very important point. Why are they so interested? First, because if China or Russia decided to have a military base on the Rio Grande or in the Canadian border, not only would The United States freak out, we'd have war within about ten minutes, but because The United States unilaterally abandoned the anti ballistic missile treaty in 02/2002 and ended the nuclear arms control framework by doing so. And this is extremely important to understand. The nuclear arms control framework is based on trying to block a first strike. The ABM treaty was a critical component of that. The US unilaterally walked out of the ABM treaty in 02/2002. It blew a Russian gasket. So everything I've been describing is in the context of the destruction of the nuclear framework as well. And starting in 02/2010, the US put in Aegis missile systems in Poland and then in Romania. And Russia doesn't like that. And one of the issues on the table in December and January, December '20 '20 '1, January '20 '20 '2, was does The United States claim the right to put missile systems in Ukraine? And Blinken told Lavrov in January 2022, the United States reserves the right to put middle sis missile systems wherever it wants. That's your putative ally. And now let's put intermediate missile systems back in Germany. The United States walked out of the INF treaty unilaterally in 2019. There is no nuclear arms framework right now. None. When Zelensky said in seven days, let's negotiate, I know the details of this exquisitely because I've talked to all the parties in detail. Within a couple of weeks, there was a document exchanged that president Putin had approved, that Lavrov had presented, that was being managed by the Turkish mediators. I flew to Ankara to listen in detail to what the mediators were doing. Ukraine walked away unilaterally from a near agreement. Why? Because The United States told them to. Because The UK added icing to the cake by having Bojo go in early April to Ukraine and explain. And he has recently, and if your security is in the hands of Boris Johnson, God help us all. Keith Starmer turns out to be even worse. It's unimaginable, but it is true. Boris Johnson has explained, and you can look it up on the website, that what's at stake here is Western hegemony. Not Ukraine, Western hegemony. Michael and I met at the Vatican with a group in the spring of twenty twenty two where we wrote a document explaining nothing good can come out of this war for Ukraine. Negotiate now because anything that takes time will mean massive amounts of deaths, risk of nuclear escalation, and likely loss of the war. I wanna change one word from what we wrote then. Nothing was wrong in that document. And since that document, since The US talked the negotiators away from the table, about a million Ukrainians have died or been severely wounded. And the American senators who are as nasty and cynical and corrupt as imaginable say this is wonderful expenditure of our money because no Americans are dying. It's the pure proxy war. One of our senators nearby me, Blumenthal, says this out loud. Mitt Romney says this out loud. It's best money America can spend. No Americans are dying. It's unreal. Now, just to bring us up to yesterday. This failed. This project failed. The idea of the project was that Russia would fold its hand. The idea all along was Russia can't resist as Zbigniew Brzezinski explained in 1997. The Americans thought we have the upper hand. We're gonna win because we're gonna bluff them. They're not really gonna fight. They're not really gonna mobilize. The nuclear option of cutting them out of swift, that's gonna do them in. The economic sanctions, that's gonna do them in. The HIMARS, that's gonna do them in. The ATACMs, the f sixteens. Honestly, I've listened to this for seventy years. I've listened to it as semi understanding, I'd say, for, about fifty six years. They speak nonsense every day. My country, my government. This is so familiar to me, completely familiar. I begged the Ukrainians, and I had a track record with the Ukrainians. I advised the Ukrainians. I'm not anti Ukrainian, pro Ukrainian completely. I said save your lives. Save your sovereignty. Save your territory. Be neutral. Don't listen to the Americans. Speaker 3: Could you maybe explain that a little further, what role Germany plays in your opinion in the current conflict concerning Ukraine? Speaker 2: Well, the Germany has been completely aligned with The United States. It's been a kind of, bulwark of The US led policy. The Biden administration was carrying out what I think is fair to say the long term, and I would say deep state policy of The United States, which was to expand NATO eastward, antagonize Russia, try to surround Russia, strategically weaken Russia, and chancellor Scholz was absolutely a part of that, supporting it at every step. And I think it has gotten us into a big mess, frankly. Speaker 3: Do you think an independent German foreign policy is even possible? Speaker 2: Of course, it's possible. Germany has had an independent foreign policy in the past, Willy Brant, and Ostpolitik was not a US initiative, it was a German initiative. In 02/2003 when The US stupidly went to war in Iraq, the German government, the chancellor was outspoken. No, that's a bad idea. There have been many occasions where Germany has had its foreign policy at odds with The United States, and what brings us to the current crisis, the war in Ukraine, you can date to 02/2008 in a sense, that was when NATO said we will expand to Ukraine into Georgia. That was a decision pushed by The United States against the better judgment of European leaders who knew this is reckless, this is provocative, why stir up things in Europe? But The US pushed it, and something decisive happened. Actually, chancellor Merkel has described it in in her memoirs, in her recent book. She describes how at the NATO summit in Bucharest in 02/2008, she and, Sarkozy said to George Bush junior, this is a bad idea. We don't want to provoke Russia. We don't need to commit to expanding NATO. And The US was dead set on doing it for, basically, deep state reasons, which is, The US is The US. We'll do what we want. We can do what we want. What can Russia do to stop us after all? We are the most powerful country in the world. That's the mindset. Speaker 3: But that also the reason? Do you think there's there's no other reasoning behind it? Maybe I don't know. Resources in Ukraine, security reasons, obviously, because they wanna expand NATO. So is it just this this idea where the we're a superpower, and that's why we're just gonna do Speaker 2: what we're gonna do? That's the overwhelming reason. I don't think you get huge economic returns out of this and so forth. It's it's actually been very costly. But the point I wanted to make is that, chancellor Merkel knew this is a bad idea, and she resisted and resisted, but The US said, no. No. No. We're gonna do it. And then she gave in. She gave in, in the decision of NATO to announce that Ukraine and Georgia will become members of NATO. That's the conclusion of the Bucharest summit. It's sad that she gave in. She knew it was a bad idea. She protested against it, but in the end, she didn't resist The US pressure. I think that was really, unfortunately, a historic bad mistake because if she had stood up to The US pressure, the right outcome would have been achieved. No such declaration, and we would not have gone on to war. Of course, the war started six years afterwards in 2014 with the violent coup against Yanukovych, but all of that was part of a long term US led process, and had Germany, especially Germany and France and Italy and other major countries of Europe resisted, we would not be where we are today. We would be in a much safer place. There would not be a war in Ukraine. Ukraine would not have lost a million people to death and grievous injury, so we would have been much better off, but The US got its way, and we are where we are because of that. Speaker 3: What do you think is the difference from 02/2008, the Bucharest summit, to 02/2003 where the German government did resist enjoining the war in Iraq. I mean, it's only five years if you really think about it. Speaker 2: No fundamental difference. I I think it was a mistake, actually. This is high stakes. People in these positions are consequential. They make decisions that have consequences, and I don't believe that, it was the case that, chancellor Merkel had no choice, that it's inevitable, that The United States had to have its way. I don't believe that. I think these are decisions that are taken. This one was a bad decision. I believe, by the way, that even as late as 2021, before the escalation with the Russian invasion in February 2022, that invasion could have been avoided, and the reasoning is that Putin put on the table some very specific proposals to avoid that invasion, and The United States refused to negotiate over them. Once again, if at that stage, the German government together with the the French government together with Italy, maybe together with Spain, had said, look, we're at the core of this. NATO is not The United States. NATO is an alliance. We happen to live right here near Russia, we need a different approach rather than simply provocation. Even then, things could have changed. Of course, things had advanced a long way. Chancellor Merkel had made another mistake, and it's sad for me to say it, by the way, because I really admired her in many, many ways. I thought she was very serious, very consequent, very responsible, not a flighty person, but a very level headed, very intelligent person, and a very well directed person. But she made another mistake, was that Germany was the guarantor of the Minsk II agreement. The Minsk II agreement was an agreement reached in February 2014 to, 2015, excuse me, a year after the coup, to stop the escalating violence, and it could have done so. It was an agreement in which the breakaway parts of Ukraine, the Donbas region, Donetsk and Lugansk, would have received political autonomy. Well, it was voted by the UN Security Council, Germany and France were to be the guarantors of this UN backed treaty, and The US and Ukraine blew it off saying we don't like it, it was with a gun to our head, we're not going to accept it, and unfortunately the guarantors of the agreement, Germany and France, went along again with The US, and recently, of course, chancellor Merkel in a pretty infamous interview said, well, it wasn't really an agreement, it was just to buy time. By the way, I don't believe that was her motive back in 2015. I think she really meant it. Speaker 3: That's interesting because I was gonna say, this is what this is the last information I have it I have about Minsk, that it was just implemented or it wasn't implemented, but they discussed it, negotiated it just to buy time. But you say that back then when they did negotiate it, that you did take it seriously or that they took it seriously, and then later she kind of Speaker 2: back Speaker 3: tracked Speaker 2: on that. I think Mhmm. Later on when it became so unpopular to have any kind of compromise with Putin, she backtracked and said, oh, no. No. No. It was a little bit of a trick. It wasn't real. But the fact of the matter is it was a good agreement, and it was a real agreement, and I believe she believed in it. And I have reason to know that actually in a kind of surprising way, which is that, in in major ways, the Minsk Two agreement was modeled on the autonomy of the German speaking Alpine region of Italy, Bolzano and South Tyrol. Speaker 3: Yeah. Zittor. Speaker 2: Now this is a a German minority region which demanded autonomy after World War two. And at first, there was a kind of pseudo autonomy, but then there was then protests and unrest and then a real autonomy. Now it's a it's a booming happy region. Italy is very happy with it. Everybody likes the arrangements. Region. And what's interesting is that this was very much on chancellor Merkel's mind, I'm told by people who know, as the model for what should happen in the dawn bus. So I think she really believed in this approach. I believe in it. I don't think it was a a bad agreement. It was a smart agreement. It would have ended the war. But The United States blew it off because The US is the leaders are stupid. They're they're arrogant. They don't know what they're doing. They think they can do whatever they want. And so they didn't take it seriously even though it was a UN Security Council, even though President Putin was also a big part of it, even though there was a Normandy process. It was serious, but not to the arrogant Americans. But what's unfortunate is, chancellor Merkel didn't stand up and say, we are the guarantors of this. You, Ukraine, must take it seriously. Germany went silent. France went silent. And so in a sense, what we've seen since 02/2008 in my interpretation is that the major European countries just bent to The US will. I don't really know why that is. Honest honest to goodness, I don't know why that is. Speaker 3: You make it sound like you make it sound very human from what you're saying. Like, you're saying American leaders are just stupid. Like, they're arrogant. So this is a very human characteristic to have. Speaker 2: Yes. Speaker 3: And then when you talk about, like, mistakes that were made just like Iraq or like Ukraine or not adhering to Minsk and not saying, yes, we're gonna we're the guaranteers of Minsk, so we're gonna pull through. It just makes it sound very human that these were just human errors, human mistakes that are, like you said, very consequential because we're talking about people who are elite politicians, and when they make a decision, it affects millions of people. Speaker 2: That's exactly right. And I should clarify that when it comes to The US, these are decisions that were taken decades ago in a sense because it's not, ad hoc decisions. Back in the early nineteen nineties when the Soviet Union ended, the CIA, the, Pentagon, the security state apparatus of The US said, okay. Now we're the sole superpower. Now we're in charge. Russia's weak. We can do what we want. That was the mindset. And the decision was taken, we know now, by historians, by people who participated already back in 1994 that The US would lead NATO eastward, contravening the solemn promises that were made in 1990 in Germany as part of German reunification, on 02/09/1990 when James Baker third, our Secretary of State, said to President Mikhail Gorbachev, NATO will move not one inch eastward, but The United States Deep State said, we don't have to abide by that, they're not even here anymore. So Clinton already in 1994 started the eastward process by internal agreement. The first, actual policies were revealed in the second half of the nineteen nineties, but the decisions were taken in 1994. So I don't want to say that it's ad hoc decisions by The US. It's consistently stupid decisions based on a strategy that was an arrogant, hubristic strategy. But what I do say is that Germany could have stopped it because it wasn't just German opposition, Europeans knew all along. This is a bad idea, this is provocative, why stir up the big bear to our east? This is a a big country. Things are quiet and fine. Why stir things up? And they tried to explain that to The United States in my interpretation, but The US doesn't listen. So at that point, German leaders had a decision, make The US listen, say no, we're not going to have a conclusion of the Bucharest summit, in which case The US, in my view, would have had to back down, or consent, but then with huge consequences. I can tell you, another European leader who was, around today as a leader was involved in 02/2008 and said to me afterwards, personally again, what is your president doing? This is so reckless, this is so irresponsible. They promised us, this person explained to me, that they wouldn't do this, and then Bush went off on Christmas vacation and they came back and they announced we're expanding NATO. Okay. This is a European leader who wouldn't dream of saying this publicly right now, but I I not only heard it with my own ears, this is somebody I'm friendly with, And it's extremely annoying and disappointing actually because these are not high school games, this is not a board game, this is not a poker game, This is real life with, hundreds of thousands of people dying because of these decisions. Europe knew it. The United States is stupid. I'm gonna say it again. I I mean the leaders who are basically arrogant is the right point. You know, stupid means they're so arrogant they can't see through their own arrogance. They think they call the shots, and the European leaders let them do it for at least the last sixteen years since 02/2008. This is a war between The United States and Russia. It's not a war between Ukraine and Russia. This is the most basic point. This is a war provoked by The US with US intentions, with US aims, for NATO enlargement, and, it would take a president that understands the basics of this and why this was so wrongheaded, and, such a an absurd and tragic idea that dates back thirty years now, inside the US security state to bring it to a close, but Biden was not that person, clearly. Biden, bought into this whole reckless approach thirty years ago already, and has been part of this tragic adventure, that was somehow going to bring down Russia, but in the end, it's destroying Ukraine. So, yes, we need a we need a new president, and we need a president that, honestly understands what this has all been about. And the one thing, that we've discussed and the one thing that's absolutely true is the American people have never been told what this is all about. They've been told exactly the opposite. Speaker 4: And I don't think even now there's an appreciation that NATO forces, clearly US forces in some form, federal employees or federal contractors are fighting in Russia, fighting Russia. Speaker 2: Oh, this is, absolutely clear. Speaker 5: We are Speaker 4: at war with we have a hot war with Russia right now. We are in Speaker 2: a hot war because it's not only our financing, our equipment, our aims, our objectives, our strategy, our advice, but it's our personnel on the ground. They are not necessarily in US uniform. Sometimes they're called mercenaries. Sometimes they're just not identified, but they are calling the shots. And, Russia knows it, and that by itself, is is is a big reason for alarm. Speaker 4: Well, especially because Russia doesn't need to lob a nuke into Poland or Europe or The United States to fight back. Russia could disable critical American infrastructure without, you know, being obvious about it. Like, we're very vulnerable if Russia decides to strike at us. Speaker 2: Well, the horrible thing about, this war from the start was that it could never conceivably have made sense for The United States to cross Russia's red lines because either Russia would win on the battlefield as it's doing, or Russia would lose on the battlefield and then escalate. And the escalation could be in many forms. Like you say, it could be attacks on US interests around the world, through proxies, or it could be as the Russians made clear if they're losing tactical nuclear weapons to start, and, with the escalation always in sight if, Russia was really profoundly threatened. So in the end, there was no path to success of a venture that started back in the Clinton administration, continued with Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden, which was to push NATO to Ukraine despite the clearest possible, brightest, biggest red line that Russia could convey in peacetime, which is don't do that. And Russia's attitude towards NATO and Ukraine was exactly analogous to what our attitude would be to a Russian military base on the Rio Grande in Mexico. It would be, don't try that. Yes. And, this is obvious. It's not subtle. It has been expressed for more than thirty years. But now we know, and more and more comes out and will come out, but Clinton approved this plan in 1994, that NATO would go east, including to Ukraine. Zbig Brzezinski laid it out in 1997, in an article which I always asserted was not Brzezinski's idea, but his way of telling his, colleagues, in the civilian sector, let's say, what was already decided. And that is that, yes, of course, we will go all the way to Ukraine. It became public in 02/2008 when, George W. Bush junior pushed at the Bucharest NATO summit, the commitment to enlarge NATO to Ukraine. It became, a cause of war in February 2014 when The US conspired to overthrow a Ukrainian president that was against NATO enlargement who wanted Ukraine to be neutral because that president understood if you are Ukraine between east and west, try to keep your head down and stay neutral. And he understood that, so we had to overthrow him. And the The US did, and that's when the war started. So this was predictably a failure on every scenario. The particular scenario that is unfolding right now for the moment is, ironically, perhaps the safer one, which is that Russia's winning on the battlefield. Yes. Because if Russia were losing on the battlefield, we would be seeing escalation to nuclear war. Well, first of all, this is purely money down the drain. So if they wanna rip up another $61,000,000,000, which is not chump change, they they seem intent on doing it, but it will mean nothing except more destruction for Ukraine. The fact of the matter is if if you don't listen to, the nonsense in our mainstream media, but listen to your show and others, people would know that, this war has destroyed Ukraine, and the longer it continues, the less there will be of Ukraine. It's it's very simple actually. If this goes on longer, Russia will capture more territory. If it goes on long enough, Russia will capture Odessa. Kyiv, if if we continue the way we're doing, and this is a this is a Biden project that goes back ten years now, will completely destroy Ukraine. So the idea that this is siding with Ukraine is absurd. Anyone who really follows events knows that we're not siding with Ukraine. We have paid for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to go to the front lines and die for more and more territory to be lost because the most basic point of this war, which is that we overthrew a government in Ukraine in 2014 that wanted neutrality so that we could push NATO enlargement, was reckless, stupid, and doomed to fail, and it failed. Now Biden is, just trying to hide the failure to get past November, but the failure is, seen on the battleground every day. If the Republicans play into this, it's unbelievable. Shame on them. They're they're basically on the right side, although Biden bludgeons them every day. You'll be the one to lose Ukraine. Well, the the truth of the matter is that Biden has been a disaster for Ukraine for a decade. The disaster is, there in the graves of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and lost territory. This is a war that never should have happened. It was about NATO enlargement where the Russians said no NATO on our borders, and Americans who who were following this like our CIA director, Bill Burns, was then The US Ambassador to Russia in 02/2008 said, this is crazy. No way. The entire Russian political class is against this. But Biden and Obama and Hillary Clinton and Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, Tony Blinken, they just barged ahead. They've wrecked everything, and now they want another $61,000,000,000 to get them past November. It's it's a disgrace. It's completely a disgrace. Speaker 6: To play devil's advocate, let me, you know, give you the other side and then allow you to respond to that. You know, what do you say to people that oh, maybe acknowledge there were certainly missteps with, with the expansion of NATO and the provocation. But nevertheless, Russia chose to respond to that with an invasion. The situation in Ukraine is due to that invasion. And so what do you say to people who think, well, but we so we are now responding to that invasion by funding, not committing American troops, but funding a resistance in Ukraine that wants to continue fighting? Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the war began ten years ago when Victoria Noula not only passed out cookies, on Maidan, but, engaged in in insurrection to violently overthrow a government in Ukraine. Pretty stupid. Pretty stupid to have a regime change operation, on a country with a 2,000, kilometer border with Russia. That's our American foreign policy. That's when this war started. This war didn't start in February 2022. It started in February 2014. It started with Newland. It started with Blinken. It started with Sullivan. It started with Biden, who was a key person in that whole thing. And then the fight went on for ten years, and then in December 2021, Putin said, look, stop the NATO enlargement. We can avoid an escalation. I talked to the White House at that point. Nah. We don't stop anything. They just thought they had all the cards. We're gonna cut them out of this swift banking system. We're gonna bring the economy to the knees. Bunch of nonsense by ignorant people. And so Putin escalated. He didn't start the war. He escalated the war. And within basically a week, Zelensky said, okay. Okay. Okay. We can be neutral. And the Turks mediated negotiations. And then though the US government wants to hide all of these facts which are sitting out there for those who know where to find them, The US intervened and told the Ukrainians, you keep fighting. And we have we have our senators who say this is the best the best money that money can buy because it's Ukrainians dying, not Americans. They're weakening Russia. Well, they're not weakening Russia, but they are killing Ukrainians. So this is not responding to Putin's invasion. The war started ten years ago, and we kept refusing every off ramp till this day, Ravi. You know, you hear Putin say, and if you listen, every day, we're open to negotiations. And then these fools in the US government say, there's no one to negotiate. They don't wanna negotiate. And then president Putin says, oh, we we we we're open to negotiation. Oh, there's no one to negotiate is what we hear from The US side. This is just narrative. It's destroyed Ukraine, and they just rip up money like there's no tomorrow. So another 61,000,000,000. And now I hear from from you that the the latest plan is to take the illegally confiscated assets of Russia because there's no legal basis to do this and use that. That'll be really great for the international financial system, I'll tell you, because these are people who don't think ahead one day. They just improvise day by day and then they'll find out, oh, things don't work out so well for the US dollar, for, The US as reserve currency for, The US place in the world because these people are acting like clowns, frankly. Day by day, not thinking ahead, doubling down on lost gambles, and everything to tell a story so that they can get to the elections in in the way they see fit. Speaker 7: Professors, I wanna ask you about how The United States gets out of this now because I'm reminded of conversations that surrounded the war on Afghanistan for years, which was that we shouldn't have gotten into it. This is a mistake, but now we destabilized the country. We are in neck deep. We can't just stop funding and abandon this project, and that's a hamster wheel of sorts. Right? So there are some people that I think are gonna listen to this and say, well, I I agree with everything you're saying, but what do you do at this point? It does you know, is it just a sunk cost, or is there some obligation to unwind this in a way that's responsible and doesn't leave Ukrainians high and dry? Speaker 2: Ukrainians are high and dry no matter what we do. We've killed nearly half a million of them through this stupid project, And the ones that, that throw good money after bad are the ones themselves that are personally culpable for this. This is Biden's project. So this is the first starting point. You don't throw lie good lives, after those already dead and and, good money after bad when you have an absolute failure and disaster on your hands. By the way, this is like every American effort. I'm old enough to remember Vietnam. You're saying words said about Vietnam. We do this over and over and over again in The US because our so called leaders have no sense and they don't think ahead. So, yes, we have to stop this. But the one thing that we don't do, and it's really a bit of a mystery to me, it's the worst I've seen in my whole lifetime, we don't negotiate. Does Biden call Putin and say we need to talk? No. That would be weakness. That would be appeasement. They don't even have the idea that you negotiate anything. And, you know, if you try everything by a military approach and a failed one, and you do it in these proxy wars where it's the people themselves, in these countries that are dying on the front lines, and you don't know anything about diplomacy, well, you make a complete mess of the world. And so the answer is, the first thing is The US and Russia should talk to each other because there's a cause of this war, and that's NATO enlargement. And by the way, that's no secret, and that's not propaganda. Even the, secretary general of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, said that absolutely explicitly as did the top negotiator for Zelensky, David Arkhamia. This a war about NATO enlargement. So why doesn't Biden call up Putin and say, you know what? We gotta stop the war. And that whole NATO enlargement that I was party to going back to the nineteen nineties and, to twenty fourteen coup and all, that was a bad idea. Let's figure out how to stop the war, recognize mutual security, and stop the bloodshed and massacres in Ukraine. If Biden were really acting like a president, that's what he would do. Speaker 6: It's been about a year since a group of economists wrote an open letter about you accusing you of denying the agency of Ukraine, peddling Putin talking points, all of those kinds of things. It's a year later. How do you respond to them? Speaker 2: Well, I don't respond. I tell them I told you so. I told them so from the beginning that this would be a complete disaster for Ukraine. People don't wanna hear this. They don't understand. They don't know enough about American history. I told them Ukraine is gonna be like Afghanistan, and boy, is it like Afghanistan right now. So they didn't wanna hear. That's not right. That's not fair, professor Sachs. I was telling them facts. I was giving them some good advice. They didn't wanna hear that. They wanted to hear about victory, glory, how Ukraine's gonna succeed, that great counter offensive, all the rest, all the baloney. But I said from the beginning that this would be a disaster. I said this is just the latest neocon debacle. And I said explicitly it was gonna leave Ukraine like Afghanistan, and it was completely avoidable. So that's what I tell them. I'm sorry. Listen. Pay attention. Learn something. That's what I say to them. Speaker 1: The economist and public policy analyst, professor Jeffrey Sachs. Professor Sachs, great to have you back on Uncensored, particularly at this moment, which feels like a moment in history. What is your take on where we are, post this extraordinary Oval Office, shakedown, really, is what went down. Speaker 2: It is a big moment. I I think what our new secretary of state Marco Rubio said a few weeks ago is the key. We are in a multipolar world. I think recognizing that is the first order of us all staying alive to avoid the risks of nuclear war. President Trump said several times that his greatest concern is to avoid World War three. I say bravo on that because we had a lot of neglect of that obvious point for many, many years. So we are in a multipolar world. China is powerful. Russia is powerful. United States is powerful. If Europe gets its act together, which I hope it does, Europe can be powerful. India will be a great power. That's a reality. Now it's a matter of these great powers, not blowing each other up, not getting into a a direct war, and also making sure that the rules of the game don't abuse the rest of the world. This is feasible. I think we're on a more realistic course now than we were, actually just a few weeks ago. Speaker 1: Do you think we're going to get a peace deal in Ukraine led by Donald Trump? And if so, how do you think this settlement will look? Speaker 2: Well, we know how the settlement will look when it comes, and you can look it up online. There was an 04/15/2022 draft agreement nearly signed by Ukraine and Russia. If you reread it as I've done several times in the last few days, it's a good agreement. There were a few details left to be, concluded, but, basically, it was fine. But The United States and UK talked Ukraine out of the agreement, said continue to fight. Don't accept neutrality. And, unfortunately, since that bad advice till today, about one million Ukrainians have lost their lives or have been gravely wounded. It wasn't good advice. So we know what the agreement will look like. It was already just about agreed. Speaker 1: And so for those who are not, up to speed with that, 2022 memorandum, how would you summarize it? Speaker 2: Yeah. The the agreement was that Ukraine would be neutral, that there would be security guarantees involving all of the great powers, including Russia, which I interpret and would recommend should be through the UN Security Council. There was an annexed map which showed what the territorial lines would be, and this was at the verge of being signed. This, I think, is the basis of an agreement, which is end the war, end the bloodshed, end the destruction. The longer it goes on, the worse for Ukraine. I said that two years ago, that any delay meant more loss of life, more devastation. Ukraine would not win on the battlefield, and that's true. Now Donald Trump is basically saying, look. Biden played poker. He bluffed quite a bit. He thought that The US economic sanctions would bring the Russian economy to its knees. Nope. He thought that the attackers and the HIMARS would bring Russia to defeat. He thought that, unrest inside Russia would prevent Russia. Speaker 1: And so the assumption would be then that they what? They freeze on the current lines, the 20% that Russia's now occupying Ukraine, they would keep, albeit, I assume, with no chance for a sovereignty because Ukraine wouldn't agree to that, Speaker 2: that Ukraine would No. No. I I I I first of all, we can't negotiate. This is Speaker 1: No. I'm asking you what you think is most likely. Speaker 2: Right. Oh, what I think should be done is a permanent peace, not a ceasefire or an armistice line. I don't want to revisit this war and have irredentist sentiments, and lobbying for a renewed war and the new military buildups and all the rest. I want peace. There should be peace. Ukraine's mistake but by the way, it wasn't Ukraine's mistake. It was an American project that we've discussed that goes back to 1994, was to push NATO all the way to Ukraine, and that crossed Russia's understandable national security red line. And I would have respected Russia's national security red line because I felt that if you violated it, we would get to where we are today. So I would aim for peace, not a settlement that is grudging, imposed. We we never will accept the sovereignty of Russia. What kind of peace is that? All of that is is just a prelude to the next war. We should have real peace. By the way, there are three groups of people that are involved or should be involved. They're the generals. They know something about fighting, sometimes well or sometimes badly. They're the politicians. They know something about grandstanding. But then there are the diplomats. The diplomats should work out a real settlement. And while it's not very popular to say, I'm gonna say it, the United Nations Security Council should be the ultimate place where that arrangement is settled, including China, including Russia, including Britain, France, The United States, all as co guarantors of a true peace. Not an armistice line, not a frozen conflict, not something that Ukraine never accepts. No. An end to this war because we have more important things to do on the planet than have a future in which the question of Lugansk and Donets play a central role in somebody's politics. Speaker 1: There there are people like Elon Musk calling for America to withdraw from NATO. What just quickly, what is your response to that? Speaker 2: It will happen if there is no settlement of this war. If Europe says well, I'm all in by the way, of Europe getting its act together. And I was in the European Parliament saying this just very recently. Speaker 1: I agree. Speaker 2: But if it but if Europe says, we fight until 1991 borders are restored, The United States will wash its hands of all of this. I I can tell you, they will not play a losing hand. They started this, by the way. The US started this. The US said we can go wherever we want. Big Brzezinski laid it all out in 1997 as clearly and explicitly as one can do. So The United States started it, but The US drops countries like hot potatoes. That's my whole life, whether it's Vietnam or Afghanistan, now Ukraine. So if the Europeans push so hard of Zelensky because for whatever reason as an individual says what is not in the interest of his country, it could be pretty bad for the relations between Europe and The United States. I would not recommend that at all. Speaker 8: So in 02/2008, the doors of NATO were opened for Ukraine. In 02/2014, there was a coup. They started persecuting those who did not accept the coup, and it was indeed a coup. They created a threat to Crimea, which we had to take under our protection. They launched the war in Donbas in 2014 with the use of aircraft and artillery against civilians. This is when it all started. There is a video of aircraft attacking Donetsk from above. They launched a large scale military operation, then another one. When they failed, they started to prepare the next one. All this against the background of military development of this territory and opening of NATO's doors. Speaker 9: June 2, the airplane attack, the air strike against the Lugansk City Hall. There was a photo made after that attack of Ine Kukarusa, a woman with red hair. Both of her legs were blown off. She was sitting there looking up one moment before she died. She was looking into the camera going, what are you gonna do about this? What are you gonna do about this? And it was like she looked into my soul, and she was asking me. And so I said, yes. Of course. I'm going there to fight. I'm gonna I'm going to avenge the murder of these, innocent civilians. Speaker 10: On that day, eight people were killed and 28 wounded. Speaker 11: To indiscriminate artillery shells. Switching to the Ukrainian language, she makes a heartrending plea to the president. We used to dance, sing, do everything in Ukrainian, she says. Poroshenko, mister Poroshenko, please listen to us. Why don't you understand your people? Be a man. Be human. Please stop your aggression. Stop this war. But there is little sign of that. This once thriving city is now half empty. Its railway station bombed. The force is unleashed by this conflict, greater perhaps than mister Poroshenko can control. Speaker 12: Didn't start in February. The war started in 2014. And since 2014, NATO allies have provided support to Ukraine with training, with equipment. So the Ukrainian armed forces were much stronger in 2022 than they were in 2020 in 2014 and of course that made a huge difference when President Putin decided to attack Ukraine. Speaker 2: When the Warsaw Pact military alliance of the Soviet Union was unilaterally disbanded in 1990 by president Gorbachev, of the Soviet Union, that was the opportunity to end NATO as well. Instead, the neocons made NATO an instrument of their delusion of US global hegemony. So instead of disbanding NATO, which would have made sense because NATO was no longer needed to defend against a no longer existent Soviet Union, NATO became an instrument of US power expansion. It finally led to wars in Georgia and Ukraine because The US pushed so far that the Russians said, no. We're not going to have you you, The US, on our borders militarily, something completely sensible and obvious to generations of American diplomats, but they were, overridden by the neocons, by the presidents that went along with this, and Europe bought into it, in a kind of fatuous way. NATO doesn't need to exist for European security. NATO should have been disbanded in 1991 when the Warsaw Pact was disbanded and when the Soviet Union ended. What was NATO? NATO was to prevent a Soviet invasion of Europe. Russia was not invading Europe. Even now, the pop pop pop pop that you hear from the British or others, this is absurd stuff, especially when the goal of NATO of The US is something completely different. It is to surround Russia, and it's all explained for decades. If anyone cares to read about this and the Russians said, ah, you're getting awfully close. You promised you wouldn't do this. And in 02/2007, Putin made a famous speech at the Munich Security Conference. He said, don't go any farther. Stop. Of course, when The United States hears this, what do they say? We have to go farther. No one tells us what to do. Believe me, this is the American mentality. I grew up in that country. I understand. Because if you look at the Black Sea, you would have Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Georgia completely surrounding Russia. Now why would you do that? Because a geographer would tell you, Brzezinski would tell you, that ends Russian power in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. That surrounds them. This is clear. And by the way, it was exactly the idea of Palmerston and Napoleon the third in 1853 in the first Crimean War. This is the second Crimean War we're fighting right now. It was exactly their idea. Take the Russian fleet out of the Black Sea. We're doing it again. And and one should understand, and this is really the point, and it's really the tragedy. For The United States, for Brzezinski and others, this was a game, kind of a he called it a chessboard. This is a game. For Russia, this is core national security. Okay. Now you're fighting right on Russia's border. One side, it's core national security. The other side, it's a game. Who do you think is gonna win? Speaker 12: President Putin actually sent a a draft treaty that he wanted NATO to sign to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what what he sent us, and that was that that was a precondition for not invade Ukraine. Of course, we didn't sign that. So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO across his borders. Speaker 2: Flashback. Speaker 12: This is fundamentally not about NATO expansion. Speaker 13: It was never about NATO enlargement. Speaker 5: It's not about NATO. It's not about NATO expanding toward Russia. This was never about NATO? It's absolutely nothing to do with NATO expansionism. And it has nothing to do with NATO. Speaker 14: This is not about NATO. Speaker 5: This is not about NATO. It's not really about NATO. This is not about NATO. Seriously, it's not about Speaker 14: NATO. Speaker 5: This was never about NATO. It was never about NATO. Let's be honest. This has never anything to do with NATO. Nothing to do with NATO at all. Yeah. He's claiming it's, like, security purposes, but we can see the clear reason. Speaker 10: But NATO is not the reason. Speaker 5: This is not about NATO expansion. This is about the democratic expansion. Ukraine bans religious organizations. We are protecting democracy right now. Ukraine is banning political parties. Because it's a democracy. Ukraine restricts books and music. It's about democracy. Ukraine won't hold elections. It's about democracy. And it's not about NATO expansion. This war in Ukraine is not about NATO. Speaker 3: It's not Speaker 11: about NATO. It's not about NATO. Speaker 5: It has nothing to do with NATO. Nothing to do with NATO expansion. Speaker 1: It's not about NATO expansion. Speaker 15: Nothing to do with with NATO. Speaker 11: It isn't really about NATO. It's not about NATO. Speaker 16: It's not about NATO enlargement. Speaker 5: In fact, it has nothing to do with NATO. It's not about NATO encroaching. It was not about NATO. NATO is just as a fictious imaginary adversary for for for mister Putin and for Russia. It was never about NATO. That's not what it's been about. It's been about him trying to expand his sphere of influence. Speaker 16: Hang on. Speaker 5: I mean, Speaker 1: the two are not mutually exclusive. Obviously, Russia has wished for a sphere of influence over Ukraine. But if the West had not challenged Russian interests so directly, I think that there there was a chance to avoid this war. Speaker 12: He wanted us to sign a promise never to enlarge NATO. We rejected that. Speaker 5: The reason why Putin invaded Ukraine is because of his evil. Speaker 12: Evil. It's about that Putin wants to rebuild Soviet empire of evil like president Reagan told. Speaker 5: It's about Putin being sick. Speaker 14: I don't Speaker 5: know how you negotiate peace with a madman, but nobody negotiated with Hitler. People were comparing him to Hitler. Speaker 13: Hitler. And remember Hitler Speaker 11: He's a Hitler. Speaker 5: We're back when the Nazis invaded Poland. This is exactly the same what Hitler was doing to Jews. This is the same. Putin will not stop. Putin is reminiscent of Hitler. Hitler. This reminds me of Hitler and Hitler. Speaker 2: Hitler. He's the Speaker 16: new Hitler. Speaker 5: Who Hitler This is about a butcher trying to kill people everywhere in the world, just not Ukraine, Syria, all over the place. Speaker 16: I hear you. Senator Lindsey Graham, always great to talk to you. Thanks so much. Thank you. Speaker 4: Alright. Straight ahead. Speaker 16: One often hears the argument, I'm sure you've all heard this, that in the eight years between when the crisis broke out in February 2014, and when the war began in February 2022. You see that eight year window there? Just keep the big picture in your mind. August 2008, that's the Bucharest summit, but the crisis doesn't break out until February 2014. And then the war breaks out eight years later, February 2022. The argument is that in the eight years between when the crisis broke out and when the war broke out this past February, the United States and its allies paid little attention to bringing Ukraine into NATO. In effect, the issue had been taken off the table, and thus NATO enlargement could not possibly have been an important cause of the escalating crisis in 2021, and the subsequent outbreak of war earlier this year. This line of argument is false. In fact, the Western response to the events of 2014 was to double down on the existing strategy, and effectively make Ukraine a de facto member of NATO. The alliance began training the Ukrainian military in 2014, averaging 10,000 trained troops annually over the next eight years. NATO was training 10,000 troops per year for eight straight years. In December 2017, the Trump administration decided to provide Kyiv with defensive weapons. Other countries quickly got into the act, shipping even more weapons to Ukraine. In addition, Ukraine's military participated in joint military exercises with NATO forces. In July 2021, less than a year ago, Kyiv and Washington co hosted hosted Operation Sea Breeze, a naval exercise in the Black Sea that included navies from 31 countries and was directly aimed at Russia. Two Months later, in September 2021, the Ukraine army led Rapid Trident twenty one, which was, according to an official press release from the US Army, it was quote, a US Army Europe and Africa assisted annual exercise designed to enhance interoperability among allied and partner nations. Remember, I'm making the argument here, we were turning Ukraine into a de facto member of NATO. It was designed to enhance interoperability among allied and partner nations, to demonstrate units are poised and ready to respond to any crisis. NATO's efforts to arm and train Ukraine's military explains in good part why it has fared so well against Russian forces in the ongoing war. It's not simply Russian incompetence, it's the fact that we armed and trained those Ukrainian forces and turned them into a formidable fighting force. A headline in a recent issue of the Wall Street Journal put it quite nicely. This is quoting that headline in the Wall Street Journal. The secret of Ukraine's military success, colon, years of NATO training. Years of NATO training. In addition to NATO's ongoing efforts to make the Ukrainian military a formidable fighting force, the politics surrounding Ukraine's membership in NATO and its integration into the West changed in 2021. There was renewed enthusiasm for pursuing Ukrainian membership in NATO in 2021. And the change took place in both Kyiv and in Washington. Let me start by telling you what happened in Kyiv. President Zelensky, who had never shown much enthusiasm for bringing Ukraine into NATO, and who was elected in March 2019 on a platform that called for working with Russia to settle the ongoing crisis, reversed course in early twenty twenty one. And not only embraced NATO expansion, but also adopted a hard line approach toward Moscow. He made a series of moves like shutting down pro Russian TV shows and stations, and arresting an especially close friend of Putin and charging him with treason. These were all moves that were sure to anger Moscow. President Biden, who moved into the White House in January 2021, Biden is moving into the White House just as Biden, just as Zelensky is beginning to do a flip on his views towards Ukraine and towards Russia. President Biden had long been committed to bringing Ukraine into NATO, and was also super hawkish towards Russia. And you wanna remember that when he was vice president in the Obama administration, President Obama assigned him, Joe Biden, with the Ukraine portfolio. So he was no stranger to this issue. Unsurprisingly, on 06/14/2021, about a year ago, almost a year ago to the day, NATO issued the following communique at its annual Brussels summit. I'm gonna quote. We reiterate the decision made at the two thousand and eight Bucharest summit that Ukraine will become a member of the alliance, dot dot dot, as an integral part of the process, we reaffirm all elements of that decision. We reaffirm all elements of that decision, as well as subsequent decisions, including that each partner will be judged on its own merits. We stand firm in our support for Ukraine's right to decide its own future and foreign policy course free from outside interference. On 09/01/2021, Zelensky visited the White House, where Biden made it clear in his public statements that The United States was quote, firmly committed to Ukraine's Euro Atlantic aspirations. Then on 11/10/2021, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and his Ukrainian counterpart signed an important document. It's called The US Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership. It's available on the website or on the internet if you're interested. This is what it says. The aim of both parties is to quote, underscore a commitment to Ukraine's implementation of the deep and comprehensive reforms necessary for full integration into Europe and Euro Atlantic institutions. That document explicitly builds not just on quote, the commitments made to strengthen The Ukraine US strategic partnership by presidents Zelenskyy and Biden, end of quotes, but it also reaffirms The US commitment to the, quote, two thousand eight Bucharest summit declaration. In short, there is little doubt that starting in early twenty twenty one, Ukraine began moving rapidly toward joining NATO. Speaker 2: So the war started. What was Putin's intention in the war? I can tell you what his intention was. It was to force Zelensky to negotiate neutrality. And that happened within seven days of the start of the invasion. You should understand this, not the propaganda that's written about this. Oh, that they failed and he was gonna take over Ukraine. Come on, ladies and gentlemen. Understand something basic. The idea was to keep NATO. And what is NATO? It's The United States off of Russia's border. No more, no less. I should add one very important point. Why are they so interested? First, because if China or Russia decided to have a military base on the Rio Grande or in the Canadian border, not only would The United States freak out, we'd have war within about ten minutes, but because The United States unilaterally abandoned the anti ballistic missile treaty in 02/2002 and ended the nuclear arms control framework by doing so. And this is extremely important to understand. The nuclear arms control framework is based on trying to block a first strike. The ABM treaty was a critical component of that. The US unilaterally walked out of the ABM treaty in 02/2002. It blew a Russian gasket. So everything I've been describing is in the context of the destruction of the nuclear framework as well. And starting in 02/2010, the US put in Aegis missile systems in Poland and then in Romania, and Russia doesn't like that. And one of the issues on the table in December and January, December '20 '20 '1, January '20 '20 '2, was does The United States claim the right to put missile systems in Ukraine? And Blinken told Lavrov in January 2022, the United States reserves the right to put middle sis missile systems wherever it wants. That's your putative ally. And now let's put intermediate missile systems back in Germany. The United States walked out of the INF treaty unilaterally in 2019. There is no nuclear arms framework right now. None. Speaker 14: When Speaker 2: Zelensky said in seven days, let's negotiate, I know the details of this exquisitely because I've talked to all the parties in detail. Within a couple of weeks, there was a document exchanged that president Putin had approved, that Lavrov had presented, that was being managed by the Turkish mediators. I flew to Ankara to listen in detail to what the mediators were doing. Ukraine walked away unilaterally from a near agreement. Why? Because The United States told them to. Because the UK added icing to the cake by having Bojo go in early April to Ukraine and explain. And he has recently and if your security is in the hands of Boris Johnson, god help us all. Keith Starmer turns out to be even worse. It's unimaginable, but it is true. Boris Johnson has explained, and you can look it up on the website, that what's at stake here is Western hegemony, not Ukraine, Western hegemony. Michael and I met at the Vatican with a group in the spring of twenty twenty two where we wrote a document explaining nothing good can come out of this war for Ukraine. Negotiate now because anything that takes time will mean massive amounts of deaths, risk of nuclear escalation, and likely loss of the war. I wanna change one word from what we wrote then. Nothing was wrong in that document. And since that document, since The US talked the negotiators away from the table, about a million Ukrainians have died or been severely wounded. And the American senators who are as nasty and cynical and corrupt as imaginable say this is wonderful expenditure of our money because no Americans are dying. It's the pure proxy war. One of our senators nearby me, Blumenthal, says this out loud. Mitt Romney says this out loud. It's best money America can spend. No Americans are dying. It's unreal. Now, just to bring us up to yesterday, this failed. This project failed. The idea of the project was that Russia would fold its hand. The idea all along was Russia can't resist as Zbigniew Brzezinski explained in 1997. The Americans thought we have the upper hand. We're gonna win because we're gonna bluff them. They're not really gonna fight. They're not really gonna mobilize. The nuclear option of cutting them out of swift, that's gonna do them in. The economic sanctions, that's gonna do them in. The HIMARS, that's gonna do them in. The ATACMs, the f sixteens. Honestly, I've listened to this for seventy years. I've listened to it as semi understanding, I'd say, for, about fifty six years. They speak nonsense every day. My country, my government. This is so familiar to me, completely familiar. I begged the Ukrainians, and I had a track record with the Ukrainians. I advised the Ukrainians. I'm not anti Ukrainian. I'm pro Ukrainian completely. I said, save your lives. Save your sovereignty. Save your territory. Be neutral. Don't listen to the Americans. Speaker 16: What's going on here is that the West is leading Ukraine down the Primrose path, and the end result Ukraine is going to get wrecked. And I believe that the policy that I'm advocating, which is neutralizing Ukraine and then building it up economically and getting it out of the competition between Russia on one side and NATO on the other side is the best thing that could happen to the Ukrainians. What we're doing is encouraging the Ukrainians to play tough with the Russians. We're encouraging the Ukrainians to think that they will ultimately become part of the West because we will ultimately defeat Putin, and we will ultimately get our way. Time is on our side. And, of course, the Ukrainians are playing along with this, and the Ukrainians are almost completely unwilling to compromise with the Russians and instead wanna pursue a hard line policy. Well, as I said to you before, if they do that, the end result is that their country is gonna be wrecked. And what we're doing is in effect encouraging that outcome. I think it would make much more sense for us to neutral to to work to create a neutral Ukraine. It would be in our interest to bury this crisis as quickly as possible. It certainly would be in Russia's interest to do so. And most importantly, it would be in Ukraine's interest to put an end to the crisis. Speaker 17: The CIA has 20 bases in Ukraine. Do you know what a CIA base is? It's a major center of operations. The the size of the the number of personnel can be assigned to each base can go from, say, 10 to to over a hundred. In Vietnam, which was a ten year war for us, we had 12 to 16 bases. In Ukraine, we have 20 bases. This is a major effort by the CIA. This isn't minor. This isn't peripheral. And those bases cover the entire gamut of operations from unconventional warfare, guerrilla warfare, to deep, reconnaissance strikes inside Russia, to political attacks on Russia, to undermining the the Russian population inside this to create pro Russian armies, mercenaries to invade. This is what the CIA is doing in Ukraine. This is a major effort. This isn't a joke. This isn't a gimmick. This isn't a, you know, a nice to have. This is a major effort by The United States to destroy Russia. The golden objective of this is the strategic defeat of Russia. Strategic defeat doesn't mean that Russia just gets a slap on the wrist. When you strategically defeat Russia, you collapse the Russian economy. That means Russia goes back to the nineteen nineties. You collapse Russian society back to the nineteen nineties. You collapse Russia politically back to the nineteen nineties. This is literally trying to take Russia back in time. That's what the strategic defeat of Russia is. So when people say, why is Putin doing this? He's doing it to save Russia from this campaign being orchestrated by The United States to destroy Russia. This isn't a game. This isn't a gimmick. This is as real as it gets. Talk to anybody who lived in Russia in the nineteen nineties and ask them how it was. The horror of that decade. Millions of Russians died needlessly. Democracy wasn't created. It was destroyed not by Russia, but by The United States. There's a memorandum that just came out published in the National Security Archives, written by a senior state department official, I think, Mary, who was the charge of the affairs number two at the embassy in 1994. And he says straight up, what are we doing? We are destroying Russian democracy, not building Russian democracy. In backing Boris Yeltsin, we have destroyed the institutions of democracy we claimed we want to build. People criticize Putin and say Putin is the one who destroyed democracy, but Putin didn't inherit democracy. He inherited a CIA gimmick plan operation to use democracy to take control of the Russian government. Not real democracy, but democracy in, you know, in in in quotation marks. People need to understand this. I'm not saying that the Russians haven't done anything wrong. I'm sure we can look at things and say they could have done that better. They could have done that better. They could have done that better. But if people don't understand that war was literally the last option, Russia did everything possible to prevent this war. Tony Blinken just gave an interview that gave it all away where he admits. He said, in September of twenty twenty two '21, we began secretly sending weapons to Ukraine. Yeah. Why? It's an important date, September 2021. In June 2021, Biden met with Putin in Geneva in their summit. And at that summit, Biden promised Putin. Putin said, if you want our troops to stop moving along the borders, then you need to stop what's going on here. Stop the Ukrainian buildup. Stop the threats. And the way to do that is through implementation full implementation of the Minsk Accords. And Biden said, yes. I will instruct Blinken to do this. That was in June. In September, Blinken secretly sending weapons to Ukraine. Why? Had no intention whatsoever of putting pressure on Germany and France to implement Minsk. In October, the Russians confronted the Germans and the French and said, you must do this, and they said no. Why? Well, we now know. Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande have acknowledged that Minsk was always a sham, always a lie, always meant to buy time to build for NATO to build Ukrainian army so they could attack and liberate the Donbas, to eliminate to finish the CIA's job of eliminating the political viability of the Russian population of the Donbas. And Russia said not just no, but hell no. But did they go to war original? No. In December December seventeenth, Russia provides two draft treaties, one to NATO, one to The United States, saying, we're not looking for war. We're looking for a new European security framework that brings peace and stability to the region. It was rejected by NATO and The United States. In January and February, Russia reached directly to the Ukrainians and tried to negotiate it in, and the Ukrainians mocked the Russians. And when the Russian incursion, the special military operation began, it wasn't a war of destruction or occupation. It was a campaign designed to get Ukraine to the negotiating table, and it worked. Six days after Russia crossed the border, Ukraine initiated or participated in the first round of negotiations in Gomel Byeloruss. And by the March, they had a completed treaty, a peace treaty. A peace treaty was signed and ready to be implemented, and the west said no. Yeah. The west said no. So don't blame Russia. Russia is blameless in all of this. Russia is simply defending Russia's right to survive. This isn't a war about Russia trying to destroy Ukraine. This is a war about the west trying to use Ukraine to destroy Russia. Speaker 18: Or in Ukraine, which are happening there. And what do you you know, what what is the end game? Speaker 19: Well, for the globalists that are running the show, this is a globalist neocon elite in both on the Hill as well as in the White House and these elites in Europe, particularly in Paris, Berlin, London. They're all interested in seeing BlackRock take over Ukraine, number one, so that it can systematically stripped of its resources and turned into a subjugated state that belongs to the larger globalist elites. But they also wanna see that happen to Russia, which is why this war was never about Ukraine. It was always about what can be done to destroy Russia. And, of course, since the people in charge didn't perform any strategic analysis, they never thought about purpose, method, or end state. They concluded that Russia today is still the Russia of 1992. It's weak. It's prostrate. Its economy is ineffective. Remember the McCain statement? Oh, Russia is Spain with a gas station. All of these arrogant displays of American hubris treating Russia as though it was a third class nation with a fourth class military. Well, we're getting an education right now. We paid no attention to the Russians who had legitimate concerns about what we were doing in Eastern Ukraine. We were building an army to attack them. We put a hostile government into that country in 2014, and we kept telling them that it made no difference to us what they thought or what they cared about. They said we don't want NATO on our border. No one paid attention. President Trump tried to listen, but he was surrounded by people who subverted him. People who are not loyal to the president, who who took an oath of obedience to the orders of the president and then ignored them. So what's what's the outcome? You've got a very serious war that could become regional, even global, and no one in the White House seems to really grasp that. But we're losing. The globalists are losing. And when the ground dries and in June, you're straight you're gonna see a massive Russian offensive, and most of what we call this thing called Ukraine is gonna be swept away, especially that government in Kyiv. But that government doesn't represent the interests of the Ukrainian people. They represent the interests of this globalist elite who are interested in resources and stripping them and using them and exploiting them to make money. Speaker 18: Yeah. It feels like, you know, the biggest threat to America is actually what's happened to the petrodollar when you have Putin now talking with the Saudis and Putin now talking with Xi, and you get rid of the petrodollar, and all of sudden, all that borrowing that we do, where we're living way above our means, that's no longer possible, plausible, or or worse. Speaker 19: I think what you're seeing is this war has become financial as well as military. And the globalists understand that they're going to lose this war. And what will come of this is that the BRICS, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, are going to be increased by 81 additional members. And all of these people are going to go to a currency that is backed by gold. And once they go to that currency backed by gold, whether it is one currency or a basket of currencies, it doesn't make any difference. Yes. We are in a lot of trouble. The globalists know that, and it is why they are so desperate right now. And the greatest fear that I have is that when the Russians do attack and it becomes abundantly clear that Ukraine is finished. I mean, it's already obvious to anybody who visits a place for any length of time. It's in ruins. But once that occurs, I fear that there will be pressure to commit US forces in Poland and Romania along with Polish forces and potentially Romanian ones to Western Ukraine. And if that occurs, the gloves will come off because, truthfully, thus far, Putin has exercised tremendous restraint, tremendous patience. He does not want a war with the West. If he wanted that, we'd already have it. But if we intervene in Western Ukraine, it's over. We'll be in a full fledged war. Speaker 18: Expand on that a little bit because it's sort of interesting. You know? I like Speaker 19: I think we've grossly miscalculated. Putin had made several speeches over the last twenty years repeatedly saying, please do not advance the border to Russia. Do not try to transform Ukraine into a hostile actor, an actor with hostile intentions towards Russia. What happens in Ukraine is of an existential strategic interest to us. Just as, theoretically, what happens in Mexico is of the existential strategic interest to us. Although this administration has decided to ignore it. He expected that we would negotiate, that he would demonstrate that this was serious, and that Russia wanted to wanted its population in Eastern Ukraine, which is really Russian, to have equal rights before the law. He wanted to end the oppression of the Russians that lived there, and he wasn't going to surrender Crimea. The reason he went into Crimea is he was afraid it was gonna be turned into a US naval base. Biden said, our goal is regime change. Our goal is to get rid of Putin, and our goal is ultimately to divide Russia into constituent parts, then exploit it. All of his supporters, his staffers, everyone in the globalist camp knows this is the truth. The so called oligarchs, Koloboyski, Soros, and others were all part of this. None of this is news. Finally, he said enough's enough. He stopped. They set up a strategic defense. They ran an economy of force mission, and now they have a force in place that can go as far as it needs to go, which includes to the Polish border. They have a plan for a thirty one thirty one month war against us if we insist on fighting it, and we are in no shape to fight a war. We can't even recruit the United States Army or the marines. The marines are running around trying to recruit illegals that are being encouraged to do so by the administration. Is that is that what you want in the ground force to fight for this country? Forget it. It's not gonna work. Speaker 14: Our first task is a ceasefire in Donbas. I assure you, I'll do whatever it takes for our heroes to no longer die. I Speaker 13: haven't heard a word about the civilians in Donbas, and I'm sure neither of you. Zelenskyy was speaking about the militants of the so called anti terrorist operation. At that time, Eastern Ukraine had been under shelling for five years, and that's why the words about peace were so eagerly awaited. I would like to remind you that in 02/2014, there was a coup d'etat called Maidan. Did it happen on its own without anyone's help? I agree with you. There is no doubt. The opposition sees power with the support of various radical right wing movement. Speaker 17: The Speaker 13: eastern and southern regions of the country stood against the new illegal government, but the resistance was brutally suppressed. On 05/02/2014, Ukrainian nationalists burned 48 people alive in the trade union's house in Odessa. At that time, Zelensky, a popular actor in Ukraine and Russia, had zero reaction, but the Odessa events became a point of no return for the country. Residents of Donbas decided to separate from Ukraine. In response, Kyiv declared its citizens as terrorists and launched an army against them. Over time, the civil war escalated into an armed conflict with Russia. However, all of this was preceded by extensive preparation and support from The United States and Western countries. Speaker 15: The United States has invested some $5,000,000,000 in Ukraine, since 1991 when it became an independent state again after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and that money has been spent on supporting the aspirations of the Ukrainian people to have a strong democratic government that represents their interest. Speaker 13: As a result, destroyed cities, chaos, and the loss of life on both sides of the conflict. In our country, it's usual to blame everything on Russia. But what didn't president Volodymyr Zelenskyy do himself to prevent this horror? Firstly, he could have implemented the Minsk agreements. In September 2014, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, and France signed them. One of the critical conditions for peace was granting special status to Donbas. December two thousand nineteen, a joint conference following the Normandy format meeting. Speaker 14: It is necessary, of course, to extend the agreement term on the special status of certain regions of Donbas, and ultimately make this norm permanent. Speaker 13: Here comes the moment for Zelenskyy to repay debt for wealth, for coming to power. Just look at it. He doesn't even hide his smirk during the speech of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Apparently, he already knew that the Minsk agreements were just a scream, covering the preparations for a full scale war between Ukraine and Russia. As for Russia and Donbas, they were deceived from the very beginning. Furthermore, both Zelenskyy and Petropur Shchenko were eager to join not only the European Union, but also NATO. And NATO secretary general Jan Stoltenberg has been promising to accept Ukraine for many years. Of course, this irritates and angers Russia. Who wants to have a constant military threat at their doorstep? As an American, I wouldn't be happy either. For example, with Chinese military bases on the Mexican border. But Russia is different. Let's turn Ukraine against it, arm it to the tee, and sit it in the battle. US Foreign Policy Expert James Jatras accurately assesses what is happening. Speaker 20: Our policy, however, is to weaken and destroy Russia. For that purpose, yes, we are interested in Ukraine. Ukraine is a club we can beat the Russians with. It has nothing to do with Ukraine, nothing to do with Ukrainians who are simply expendable people as far as these governments are concerned. Speaker 13: But it seems like the authorities of Ukraine don't really care. Besides, president Zelenskyy and his team are adding fuel to the fire. Speaker 14: I am initiating consultations in the framework of the Budapest Memorandum. If they aren't held again or their results don't guarantee security for our country, Ukraine will have every right to believe that the Budapest Memorandum is not working, and all the package decisions 1994 are being questioned. Speaker 13: The Budapest Memorandum is an agreement under which Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. In 1994, it was signed by Russia, United States, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. Ukraine had to agree because it didn't have the money to maintain a nuclear arsenal, and recent history has shown that the world is very lucky it turned out that way. Speaker 14: Even if we couldn't maintain them, them, we could reduce the nuclear capabilities instead, and we could use it to blackmail the entire world. And they would give us money for the maintenance. Speaker 13: Imagine that, a nuclear power that blackmails the whole world, demanding money. Would you like to have such a neighbor? I'm sure you wouldn't. No one would. The president of Ukraine practically declares his desire to regain nuclear weapons, and Russia initiates a special military operation. To bring it to this point, Ukraine had to be made an enemy of Russia or anti Russia. Speaker 2: If you live on the continent next to Russia, you don't stand up and scream every day, you're evil. You're evil. You're evil. You actually sit down, discuss, and negotiate. You don't let The United States blow up the pipeline that provides the energy for Europe and then sit there like a You're done saying that. Dumb idiot. We don't know who did it. Well, I can give you 50 quotations by American officials saying we'll never let that happen. I can quote on video, show you the president of The United States saying on 02/07/2022, if Russia invades, Nord Stream will be finished. And then the reporter says, but, mister president, how can you do that? And he says, believe me, we have our ways. Speaker 5: If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the the the border of Ukraine again, then there will be we there will be no longer a Nord Stream two. We we will bring it into it. Speaker 21: Okay. But how will you how will you do that exactly since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control? Speaker 5: We will I promise you we'll be able to do it. Speaker 2: Is that a clue? Well, the Europeans couldn't figure that out, that little clue. There's a chancellor Schultz standing next to Biden. Quiet. He heard all of this, Then the pipeline gets blown up. We don't know who did it. We don't know. And then there are the investigations, but those have to be kept secret even from the Bundestag, even from the public, even from the United Nations. This is not foreign policy. This is not foreign policy. This is doing what The United States wants, but now you obviously can't just follow Trump. Obviously, they thought naively they could follow Biden. I could have told them, and I did tell them repeatedly. No. You can't. You should understand The United States. You should understand how weak the foreign policy is. You should understand how crazy the idea of US unipolarity is. Understand this. You know what I was told here? Don't talk to me anymore. Who blew up Nord Stream? Speaker 10: We? Speaker 8: You for sure. Speaker 4: I was busy that day. Nate, do you have do you have I did not blow up Nord Stream. Thank you, though. Speaker 12: Was it was it Lichtna? Was Lichtna? Speaker 8: You personally may have an alibi, but the CIA has no such alibi. Speaker 4: Do do you have evidence that NATO or the CIA did it? By Nord Stream, disintegrating. Can you describe what happened? Speaker 2: Yeah. So, you know, The US blew up Nord Stream, as it promised to on probably dozens of occasions, but the most recent, of those occasions, was president Biden said I think it's 02/07/2022. I may have the date a little bit off, but he said in a statement to the press, Russians invade Ukraine, Nord Stream is finished. And reporter who asked him the question, I think from Germany, but in international, said, well, mister president, how how can you say that? How could you do that? And he looks and he says very gravely, believe me, we have our ways. Okay. So this is, and then you can go back and find a thousand clips Oh, yeah. Victoria Nooly Speaker 14: Oh, yeah. Speaker 2: And Cruz, and everyone's saying, this must stop. This must stop. We'll never let it happen. It will be destroyed. It will be ended. Okay. So then it's blown up. Okay? And you and and and the America, you know well, before we get to that, I was on Bloomberg soon afterwards. I don't remember whether it was the next day or the day after, and I said, you know, I think The US did this. Mister Sachs, how can you how can you say that? And I said, well, first the president said he was gonna it was gonna be over, and then there's actually, you know, some readings of planes in the vicinity and so forth, and and and there was the tweet by the former and now current foreign minister of Poland. Thank you, USA, with a picture of of of the the water bubbling over the blown up pipeline, Radek Sikorsky's tweet. And there was Anne Applebaum's husband. Yes. There there there was a bit of evidence that, well, yes, The United States had done this. Thank you very much. They said they would, and they did it. I was yanked off the air within thirty seconds. I could Speaker 20: The sledgehammer that we have against Putin is to shut down the Nord Stream two pipeline and do it permanently. Speaker 10: This is a real acute and proven threat. Speaker 5: I am a big proponent of, making sure we stop Nord Stream two from from happening. Speaker 3: Stopping Stopping the Nord Stream two. Speaker 5: And, you know, Trump also isn't wrong to identify Nord Stream two, this pipeline that you talked about today, as problematic. Speaker 10: There is still time to stop Nord Stream two if we act quickly. Speaker 22: The timeline for action is short. Speaker 10: And I'm not gonna stop working to halt Nord Stream two to stop Russia. Speaker 20: End it once and for all. Speaker 4: I mean, he needs to kill the keys the Nord Stream Nord Stream two pipeline right now, Speaker 5: and I think the most important thing right now and what Zelenskyy said is they want Nord Stream two stopped. That's what I see as the most tangible reason and the tangible, effect. Speaker 20: I believe we must stop this Nord Stream two pipeline. Speaker 5: And we should have brought the project to an end. Speaker 10: There's still time to stop it, Speaker 5: but we need to act quickly. Speaker 20: Nord Stream two is danger is a danger to peace as we know it. Speaker 2: Nord Stream two is energy blackmail. Speaker 20: It's Putin's pipeline. It's a trap for the a Russian trap. Speaker 5: There will be we there will be no longer a Nord Stream two. We we will bring an end to it. Speaker 3: We will put an end to it. Speaker 5: Germany should cancel the Nord Stream two gas pipeline. We're looking at a variety of things we could do there. We've been so far using trying to use other tools to stop the Nord Stream two. And we got legislation that was appropriate to now have delayed this project significantly. We need further tools. We're prepared to use those tools should you provide them, to us. And and we've also used our diplomatic capabilities. Speaker 10: This pipeline must be stopped, and the only way to prevent the completion is to use all the tools available to do that. Speaker 15: If Russia invades Ukraine, One way or another, Nord Stream two will not move forward. Speaker 22: Kill Nord Stream two now and let it rust beneath the waves of the Baltic. Speaker 2: The operator of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, which run between Russia and Germany, says that three lines on the Baltic Seabed were damaged on Tuesday. Speaker 5: It was a deliberate act of sabotage, and now the Russians are pumping out disinformation lines. This is

Interviewer notes Soros funded dissident activities during the 1989 revolutions in Eastern Europe. Soros responds that he 'set up a foundation in Ukraine before Ukraine became independent of, Russia' and that 'the foundation has been, functioning ever since, and it played an important part in events now.' Asked whether Ukraine will assert independence from Russia and orient toward the West (not specifically NATO), he implies challenges ahead, stating 'No. Putin will try to destabilize, Ukraine.' He reiterates the foundation's ongoing role, saying 'the foundation has been, functioning ever since, and it played an important part in events now.' The discussion ties Soros's past funding of dissident activities to his ongoing Ukrainian foundation's role.

Speaker 0: George Soros, pleasure to have you on. Speaker 1: Same here. Speaker 0: First on Ukraine. One of the things that many people recognized about you was that you, during the revolutions of nineteen eighty nine, funded a lot of dissident activities, civil society groups in Eastern Europe and Poland, The Czech Republic. Are you doing similar things in Ukraine? Speaker 1: Well, I set up a foundation in Ukraine before Ukraine became independent of, Russia. And the foundation has been, functioning ever since, and it played an important part in events now. Speaker 0: Do you think Ukraine will be able to assert a kind of independence from Russia, and an alignment, with the West? Not but not a specific alignment as a NATO, but a kind of orientation toward the West, or will the Russians always stop them? Speaker 1: No. Putin will try to destabilize, Ukraine. The foundation has been, functioning ever since, and it played an important part in events now.

All the time Western mainstream media keeps telling us that the war in Ukraine was somehow "unprovoked" But then i listen to this leaked phone call between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt, and realize I was just listening to a carefully fabricated lie...... https://t.co/xqto4UFKzH

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss Klitschko piece as complicated electron, especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister. 'I don't think cleats should go into the government. I don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's a good idea.' They debate keeping moderate Democrats together, with Yadze or Yatzenyuk as governing figure; 'He's the guy you know, what he needs is Klitsch and Tani Book on the outside.' 'Klitschko going in, he's gonna be at that level working for Yatzenyuk.' They consider reaching out to Klitschko directly to move fast and manage personality among the three, and to set up a 'three plus one conversation or three plus two with you.' Jeff Feltman mentions Robert Seri and that Seri could come in Monday or Tuesday with Ban Ki Moon's agreement; 'fuck the EU' as aim. They worry Russians will torpedo; plan outreach to Yanukovych; Biden's involvement: 'Biden's willing.'

Speaker 0: What do you think? Speaker 1: I think we're in play. The Klitschko piece is obviously the complicated electron here, especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister. And and you've seen some of my notes on the troubles in the marriage right now. So we're trying to get a read really fast on where he is on this stuff. But I think your argument to him, which you'll need to make, I think that's the next phone call we wanna set up, is exactly the one you made to to Yat. And I I'm glad you sort of put him on the spot on where he fits in this scenario. And I'm very glad he said what he said in response. Speaker 0: Good. So I don't think cleats should go into the government. I don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's a good idea. Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I I guess you think what in terms of him not going into the government, just let him sort of stay out and do his political homework and stuff. I'm just thinking in terms of sort of the process moving ahead, we wanna keep the moderate Democrats together. The problem is gonna be Tony Book and his guys. And, you know, I'm sure that's part of what Yanukovich is calculating on all of this. I kinda Speaker 0: I just I think Yadze is the guy who's got the economic experience, the governing experience. He's he's the guy you know, what he needs is Klitsch and Tani Book on the outside. He needs to be talking to them four times a week. You know? I I I just think Klitsch going in, he's gonna be at that level working for Yatzenyuk. It's just not gonna work. Speaker 1: Yeah. No. I think that's I think that's right. Okay. Good. Well, do you want us to try to set up a call with him as the next step? Speaker 0: My understanding from that call, but you tell me, was that the big three were going into their own meeting and that Yatz was gonna offer in that context a three way you know, the three plus one conversation or three plus two with you. Is that not how you understood it? Speaker 1: No. I think I mean, that's what he proposed. But I think just knowing the dynamic that's been with them where Klitschko has been the top dog, he's gonna take a while to show up for whatever meeting they've got. He's probably talking to his guys at this point. So I think you reaching out directly to him helps with the personality management among the three, and it and it gives you also a chance to move fast on all this stuff and put us behind it behind it before they all sit down and he, he explains why he doesn't like it. Speaker 0: Okay. Good. I'm happy. Why don't you reach out to him and see if he wants to talk before or after? Speaker 1: Okay. Will do. Thanks. Speaker 0: Okay. I've now written oh, one more wrinkle for you, Jeff. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: Can't remember if I told you this or if I only told Washington this, that when I talked to Jeff Feltman this morning, he had a new name for the UN guy, Robert Seri. Did I write you that this morning? Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw that. Speaker 0: He's now gotten both Seri and Ban Ki Moon to agree that Seri could come in Monday or Tuesday. Speaker 1: Okay. Speaker 0: So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and have the UN help glue it and, you know, fuck the EU. Speaker 1: No. Exactly. And I think we've gotta do something to make it stick together because you can be pretty sure that if it does if it does start to gain altitude, the Russians will be working behind the scenes to try to torpedo it. And, again, the fact that this is out there right now, I'm still trying to figure out in my mind why Yanukovych that. But in the meantime, there's a party of regions faction meeting going on right now, and I'm sure there's a lively argument going on in that group at this point. But, anyway, we could we could land jelly set up on this one if we move fast. So let me work on let me work on Klitschko. And if you can just keep I I think we wanna try to get somebody with an international personality to come out here and help to midwife this thing. And then the other the other issue is some kind of outreach to Yanukovych, but we probably regroup on that tomorrow as we see how things start to fall into place. Speaker 0: So on that piece, Jeff, when I wrote the note, Sullivan's come back to me, VFR, saying you need Biden. And I said probably tomorrow for an attaboy and get the deets to stick. So Biden's willing. Speaker 1: Okay. Great. Thanks.

All the time we are told how the war in Ukraine is somehow "unprovoked" But then i see this video from Joe Biden in 2016: "We led a coup in Ukraine, installed a government, looted, and played both sides" https://t.co/0aropdaj2d

The speaker notes that they are not the pen pal but the phone pal of Poroshenko and Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and now the speaker themselves. For the last four years, they have been on the phone two to three hours a week with those folks. There is an overwhelming instinct in Europe to say, before you guys became president, this was owned by Russia anyway. They ask, what difference does it make? Why are you making us engage in these sanctions? The speaker recalls last year, they were authorized to say they’d do the second tranche of a billion dollars, and he didn’t fire his chief prosecutor. Because the speaker has the confidence of the president, they were there. They said, “I’m not signing it. Until you fire him, we’re not signing it.” They clarified, “We’re not doing it.” Until you form a new government and you actually bring in someone who will move on this, they’re not playing. It’s not because they’re trying to play hardball, but because they know if they give an excuse to the EU, there are at least five countries right now that want to say, wooah, want out. What they are putting together now is a basic detailed road map of who goes first and who goes second. There are two pieces: one is the security guarantees that are to flow from Russia, and two, the political steps that Ukraine has to take. Some of the steps are very difficult to take. They’ve already done the energy piece, they’ve done some other things, but the point is that when you say the dumb boss is gonna have a special status and you’re gonna amend your constitution, it’s like saying, okay, you know, Texas and Wyoming—Texas is gonna have a special status that we don’t want because we want Mexico to have more influence in Texas. And we’re gonna pass that through the United States Congress. So there are some really tough stuff they’ve gotta do. They’re willing, and the speaker is convinced they will do it.

Speaker 0: No. I I am not the pen pal, but the phone pal of Poroshenko and Arseny Yat sen Yuk and now the speaker. I literally, without exaggeration, the last four years I'm on the phone, two to three hours a week with with with those folks. There's an overwhelming instinct in Europe to say, hey, before you guys became president, this was owned by Russia anyway. They had a puppet there. What difference does it make? What the hell is the difference? Why are you making us engage in these sanctions? You remember last year, I was authorized to say we'd do the second tranche of a billion dollars and he didn't fire his his chief prosecutor? And because I have the confidence of the president, I was there. Said, I'm not signing it. Until you fire him, we're not signing it, man. Get it straight. We're not doing it. Till you form a new government and you actually bring in someone who will move on this, we're not playing. Not because we're trying to play hardball, because we know if they give an excuse to the EU, there are at least five countries right now that wanna say, woah, want out. At least five right now. And so what we put together, we're putting together now, is a basic detailed road map of who goes first and who goes second. And there's two pieces of this, folks. One is the security guarantees that are to flow from Russia, and two, the political steps that Ukraine has to take. And some of the steps are very difficult to take. They've already done the energy piece, they've done some other things, but my point is that when you say the dumb boss is gonna have a special status and you're gonna amend your constitution, it's like saying, okay, you know, Texas and Wyoming Texas is gonna have a special status that we don't want because we want Mexico to have more influence in Texas. And we're gonna pass that through the United States Congress. So there's some really tough stuff they've gotta do. They're willing I'm convinced they will do it.
