Speaker Criticizes NATO Expansion and US Policy on Ukraine

You and, and Antony Blinken and Victoria Nuland and Jake Sullivan and the rest of the warmongering neocons at the heart of government here in Washington, along with the vassal states in NATO, are the principal provocateurs that I mentioned.

You could have done better. You could have followed President Gorbachev's lead in 1989.

You could have kept Secretary of State Baker's promise not to advance NATO one yard closer to the Russian border than the eastern extremities of a reunited Germany.

You could have responded to President Putin's overtures in his famous 10th of February 2007 speech at the Security Conference in Munich and shepherded us all towards a much, much safer Europe.

Or in 2008, you could have chosen not to expand NATO eastwards, or in 2014, you could have refrained from engineering the illegal Maidan coup d'état in Ukraine, or in 2019, you could have supported the Minsk Accords.

Now, we're told by Angela Merkel, they were just a ruse to buy time to arm Ukraine for the war that you were engineering.
