Europe should have been negotiating with Russia, but now that Trump is, some are in an uproar. If the US stops sending arms and funding, the war will end. This all stems from American arrogance, going back decades to the US declaring itself the sole superpower and expanding NATO eastward, ignoring Russian concerns. The US participated in a violent coup in Ukraine in 2014, further escalating tensions. Europe needs a grown-up foreign policy, not one based on hate speech or Russophobia, but real diplomacy. NATO should have been disbanded in 1991. The US sees this as a game, but for Russia, it's about core national security.

This is a disgusting situation where Americans are funding the slaughter in Ukraine. Some officials want to send family members to fight there, even though Ukraine isn't in NATO. Putin hasn't threatened Europe.

The Ukraine war didn't begin with Putin's invasion; it's rooted in broken promises. In 1990, the US assured Gorbachev NATO wouldn't expand eastward, a pledge violated starting in 1994. NATO expansion, coupled with US actions like the 1999 bombing of Serbia and the 2002 withdrawal from the ABM treaty, fueled Russian insecurity. The US involvement in Ukrainian politics, including the 2014 coup, further escalated tensions. Putin's 2021 security proposal, seeking to prevent NATO expansion, was rejected. The US's "open door" policy for NATO enlargement, and its support for Ukraine's continued fight, directly contradicts the assurances made to Gorbachev, leading to the current conflict. This is not a simple case of Russian aggression, but a culmination of decades of broken promises and escalating tensions.

- Democrats' spending caused inflation, and Biden's administration ignited global unrest after a peaceful period under Trump. Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal was botched, and NATO expansion talks provoked Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Opportunities for peace were rejected, leading to a prolonged war with mass casualties and depleted US stockpiles. - The US has a history of military interventions, including the bombing of Belgrade, and illegal wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, as well as involvement in the 2014 coup in Kyiv. The US government cannot be trusted. - NATO expansion was promised not to move "one inch eastward" but Clinton signed off on plans to expand NATO to Ukraine. The US unilaterally withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002, leading to missile systems in Eastern Europe that Russia views as a threat. - Putin sought to force Ukraine to negotiate neutrality, aiming to keep NATO off Russia's border. The US rejected negotiations, and a draft Russia-US security agreement proposing no NATO enlargement. - Germany has aligned with the US, supporting NATO expansion, but previously had an independent foreign policy. Merkel knew NATO expansion was a bad idea but gave in to US pressure. - The US is in a hot war with Russia, with US personnel on the ground in Ukraine. Russia could disable critical American infrastructure. - The war in Ukraine is a US-Russia conflict provoked by the US with the aim of NATO enlargement. The American people have been told the opposite. - The war started in 2014 with US involvement in the overthrow of Ukraine's government. The US rejected off-ramps and continues to fund the war, resulting in Ukrainian deaths and territorial losses. - The US should negotiate with Russia, acknowledging mutual security concerns and halting NATO enlargement. - The US is trying to destroy Russia through CIA operations in Ukraine. Russia is defending its right to survive. - Globalists aim to exploit Ukraine's resources and destroy Russia. The BRICS nations are moving towards a gold-backed currency. - The US has invested billions in Ukraine since 1991 to support a democratic government. Zelenskyy's team is adding fuel to the fire. - The US blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, as promised by Biden. - The US is turning Ukraine into a de facto member of NATO.

The speaker believes the war should not have started and that Biden, Zelenskyy, and Putin are all to blame. Asked about Zelenskyy's offer to purchase more Patriot missile batteries, the speaker responded that Zelenskyy is always looking to purchase missiles. The speaker stated that when you start a war, you have to know you can win. You shouldn't start a war against someone 20 times your size and then hope people will give you missiles.

The speaker argues the United States is principally responsible for causing the Ukraine crisis. While acknowledging Putin started the war and is responsible for Russia's conduct, and that America's allies bear some responsibility, the speaker asserts the U.S. pursued policies seen by Putin as an existential threat to Russia. This threat is specifically America's obsession with bringing Ukraine into NATO and making it a Western bulwark on Russia's border. The speaker claims the Biden administration was unwilling to eliminate that threat through diplomacy and recommitted to bringing Ukraine into NATO. The speaker draws parallels to the Vietnam and Iraq wars, where Americans questioned how their country miscalculated so badly.

NATO was warned that expanding would lead to a Ukrainian invasion, but they proceeded anyway. In 2021, President Putin sent a treaty to NATO, asking them to promise no more enlargement to avoid invading Ukraine. NATO didn't sign, and the opposite occurred. The ongoing war in Ukraine has resulted in a significant number of casualties, yet the media fails to mention that NATO acknowledged the warning and still expanded. The advantage of NATO expansion is not addressed.

We will now talk about the future of Ukraine with you, as it seems you are serious about it. Putin had asked the Americans in December 2021 for written confirmation on how to handle Ukraine, but President Biden refused to negotiate on this matter. There should have been an uproar on the German side, as a potential war would involve Germany in the issue.

I think the idea that Zelensky's fall is somehow Ukraine's fault is a joke. You're going to regret it when Zelensky is sitting on a beach counting his money. This war began in 2014 with a coup against Ukraine's elected president, backed by the US. The criminalization of the Russian language led to an uprising in the east. Zelensky shelled East Ukraine for years before Putin intervened, killing thousands. You support a regime that praises Nazi collaborators. There's a tiny percentage of neo-Nazis in Ukraine. To call the Jewish leader of Ukraine a Nazi is despicable. You'll be sorry for propping up Putin, who invaded Ukraine to restore the Soviet Union. He's a tyrant, and people like you are useful idiots. Trump is wrong about this. He's right to forge peace. I agree with Trump's plan to get peace, but I don't agree with calling Zelensky a dictator, and I don't agree that it was Ukraine that started the war.

The term "unprovoked" used by journalists regarding Russia's actions is misleading. This war has numerous provocations, stemming from U.S. actions like NATO expansion plans since the 1990s, the 2002 withdrawal from the ABM Treaty, and the 1999 bombing of Belgrade. The overthrow of Viktor Yanukovych in 2014, supported by U.S. officials, and the failure to uphold the Minsk II agreements also contributed to the conflict. By the end of 2021, after nine years of tension, a major war could have been avoided if the U.S. had engaged in negotiations over Russia's proposal for Ukraine's neutrality and NATO non-expansion. I urged the White House to pursue diplomacy to prevent war.

Putin sent a treaty to NATO to stop enlargement, but war broke out in Ukraine. The conflict is not about NATO, but democracy and Putin's ambitions. Some compare Putin to Hitler. The root cause is Putin's desire for power. The situation is complex, with both sides at fault. Peace seems unlikely with Putin's actions.

My son fought in Ukraine because he saw Putin as a bully. This war is about Russia's security, not territory. Since 1992, they've opposed NATO in Ukraine due to historical invasions. They feel threatened because NATO has expanded eastward despite promises otherwise. We overthrew Ukraine's government in 2014, prompting Russian response. A peace treaty was negotiated but then disregarded. Boris Johnson stopped Zelensky from finalizing another agreement with Putin, leading to many deaths. We wanted the war, spending money that could be used at home. Trump, a dealmaker, aims to resolve this. Putin feared Ukraine attacking Russia, which Zelensky seemingly confirmed. The Afghan withdrawal was a calamity due to political timelines. We should have withdrawn troops responsibly.

Defense industries are bloated with tax dollars. Russia is likely to prevail in the conflict with Ukraine. Putin tried to prevent war by proposing peace to NATO in December 2021, but they ignored him. When armed Ukrainians approached the border, Putin felt compelled to act first. The Russian attack was not preplanned and lacked the typical 3 to 1 advantage of an attacker.

Speaker 0: It is an indictment of your own leadership. And in countries across Europe, the leaders feel that way. Russia is an embarrassment to them because it is, relatively speaking, thriving. And so they all, as one, backed the Biden administration's plan to have a war with Russia. And let's stop lying. This was not an unprovoked invasion. Putin just randomly went over the line into Eastern Ukraine and stole these oblast. He stole this land that belonged to another people. That's a total lie, and it's not a defense of Putin to call it out as a lie because it is, and everybody knows it now. The truth is that in 2001, Putin, same guy, same leader, asked the Bush administration in person directly to George W. Bush, I would like to join NATO. I would like to join the defensive alliance that exists to keep me from moving west into Western Europe. In other words, you won. I'm joining your team. And due in part to his own limitations as a leader and due in part to the counsel that he received from Condoleezza Rice at the time, George w Bush turned down that offer and prevented Russia from joining NATO. And the guest we're gonna speak to in a moment, if you're wondering if he has a good track record of calling future events, said at the time, this decision to turn down Vladimir Putin's it's twenty five years ago, Vladimir Putin's request to join NATO, to join the West, to all be in it together, to work together, this decision made by the Bush administration guarantees a collision with the West. We are now on a collision course. And, of course, he was absolutely right because NATO didn't want Russia because NATO wanted a war with Russia, and boy, they got it. And so from 2001 all the way to 2022, twenty one years, NATO moved inexorably east surrounding Russia. And many times, again, this is not a defense of Russia. It's just a fact. Many times, the Russian government under Putin said, woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Are threatening our core national interest, which is not to have other people's missiles on our borders back off. And then in 2014, the Obama administration overthrew the government of Ukraine to put an American puppet in there, thereby sealing the fate of nations. When that happened, and Sergei Karganov said it at the time, you have just guaranteed a war in Ukraine that will destroy Ukraine.

I think President Putin believes NATO's expansion is the reason the Russian army is at NATO's doorstep, but we certainly don't see it that way. NATO has expanded, but that's a good thing. I'm pretty sure it wasn't NATO who ordered troops to the Ukrainian border or destabilized Eastern Ukraine. NATO is a security alliance, not an anti-Russia alliance. For fifty years, it was an anti-Soviet alliance. I'm not going to pretend to know what goes on in President Putin's mind. NATO has expanded, but there's no reason to think the expansion is hostile. We're blaming Russia for violating Ukraine's territorial integrity.

Putin's recent actions can be better understood by the surprising response he received from the West, which initially stated its opposition to a military solution to the conflict. This, in my opinion, was a major mistake on the part of the West. It empowered Putin, who was uncertain and had good intentions, to a degree that he has not been able to come down from until today.

Russia has been invaded three times through Ukraine, and they don't want Ukraine to join NATO. Gorbachev agreed to German reunification under NATO with the promise that NATO wouldn't expand eastward. However, in 1997, plans were made to move NATO eastward, incorporating 15 countries and surrounding the Soviet Union. NATO expanded into 14 new nations and withdrew from nuclear weapons treaties with Russia, placing missile systems in Romania and Poland. The U.S. allegedly overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014, installing a Western-sympathetic government. Russia then entered Crimea to protect its warm water port. The new Ukrainian government allegedly began killing ethnic Russians in Donbas and Lugans. The Minsk Accords, designed to keep NATO out of Ukraine, were refused by the Ukrainian parliament. Zelenskyy was elected in 2019 promising to sign the Accords, but allegedly pivoted due to threats from ultra-rightists and the U.S. Russia then intervened, aiming to negotiate. A treaty guaranteeing Ukraine wouldn't join NATO was allegedly signed, but Boris Johnson, allegedly under Joe Biden's direction, forced Zelenskyy to abandon it.

Vladimir Putin is unlikely to negotiate. Additional sanctions on Russia are probable. The war in Ukraine could have been avoided with competent leadership, which was not present. The election was rigged, preventing that possibility.

If I were in charge of NATO, like Joe Biden, I would immediately pursue peace in Ukraine. I believe the best course of action would be to call back Trump. Despite criticism, his foreign policy was commendable. He avoided starting new wars and had positive interactions with North Korea, Russia, and China. The Abraham Accords in the Middle East were a significant achievement. Trump's knowledge of the world should not be underestimated, as his fact-based approach yielded the best foreign policy in recent decades. If he were president during the Russian invasion, it would have been impossible for them to proceed. In my personal conviction, Trump is the man who can save the Western world and humanity as a whole.

The war in Ukraine was a terrible debacle caused by The United States expanding NATO despite Russia's objections. Ukraine and Russia were about to sign a peace agreement based on neutrality, but "The United States said, no." We want "military bases. We want NATO there. Don't sign the agreement." The speaker argues the conflict could end if Trump publicly declared that NATO will not enlarge to Ukraine: "NATO will not move one inch eastward, not one inch." They note "They promised." The piece cites Clinton in 1994 beginning NATO enlargement and calls this "the most basic point" that we do not need conflict. It says we end Ukraine's war with Ukrainian neutrality and halting NATO enlargement; Russia won't accept it, "just like The United States didn't accept bases in Cuba of the Russian military." It closes with AI as a better mediator: "it'll give you both sides of the argument."

I predicted missiles would hit Poland near the defense pact area. Though the missiles were blown up before detonating, telemetry showed it wasn't Russia, despite Zelensky's insistence. The Nord Stream pipeline was also blamed on Russia, despite a lack of motive, and Biden's prior threat. They're now attacking nuclear power plants, including Chernobyl, risking a meltdown to blame on Russia. Zelensky, a puppet with a Napoleon complex, demands Trump seek his permission before speaking with Putin and wants nukes. The US funds most of Ukraine's operations, but Trump wants to cut off the money and leave Russia alone. Europe's defense ministers plan for a 20-30 year war with Russia for global control. Trump is dismantling the bureaucracy while the establishment panics.

If I were president, Putin would never have gone into Ukraine. I had a good relationship with him, which is a good thing. When asked who I trusted more, my intelligence people or Putin, it was a tough question. I didn't trust the intelligence people because they were bad people. They caused a fake Russia scam that harmed our country. But I was right, Putin would never have gone into Ukraine.

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.

If I were in charge of NATO, like Joe Biden, I would immediately pursue peace in Ukraine. I believe the best course of action would be to call back Trump. Despite criticism, his foreign policy was the most successful in recent decades. He avoided starting new wars and had positive interactions with North Korea, Russia, and China. The Abraham Accords in the Middle East were a significant achievement. Trump's knowledge and education were questioned, but his actions speak for themselves. If he were president during the Russian invasion, it would not have been possible. In my personal conviction, Trump is the one who can save the Western world and humanity.

The situation in Ukraine is dangerous and escalating. Joe Biden's actions have brought us close to nuclear war, as he is sending American tanks. It is crucial for all parties involved to seek a peaceful resolution before this catastrophe leads to World War 3, which would be a nuclear war. If I were in the White House, Russia would have never invaded Ukraine. We must demand peace in Ukraine now, and it is actually easy to achieve.
