00:21:00 (on the US staged coupe in Ukraine 2014)
This is our biggest problem of all, because the neocons who have run the show for 30 years believe the US can do whatever it wants. This is the most fundamental point to understand about US foreign policy. […]
00:21:58
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. […] So they elect Viktor Yanukovych a president that says, we’ll just be neutral. […] So, Yanukovych becomes the enemy of the neocons, obviously.
00:22:38
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 coupe [d’état]. 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 6 and said, yes, yes, go, you know, how would we like it if chinese leaders came and said, yeah, we were with you 100%.
American senators standing up in Kiev saying to the demonstrators, we’re with you 100%. Victoria Nuland famously passing around the cookies. But it was much, much more than the cookies, I can tell you. And so the US conspired with a ukrainian right to overthrow Yanukovych, and there was a violent overthrow in the third week of February of 2014.
00:24:24
That’s when this war started. This war didn’t even start in 2022. It started in 2014. […]
01:03:18 (What are neocons?)
A neocon is a group of true believers starting, that really rose to force in the last years of Bush Sr. It was Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, but it became absolutely bipartisan. Victoria Nuland is kind of the ultimate. Her husband, Bob Kagan. Robert Kagan is kind of the public intellectual of the neocons. I mean, he is, I know Bob well. […]
01:03:38
Then comes Obama. You don’t think of him as a neocon especially, but who becomes the point person for Eastern Europe and Ukraine? Victoria Nuland. So interesting. Victoria Nuland was the deputy national security advisor of Cheney.
01:04:00
Yes. So she was Cheney’s advisor then she was George W’s ambassador to NATO during the commitment to enlargement. And if Obama weren’t a neocon, you would say, well, that’s not someone I’m going to hire. But all of a sudden she lands as Hillary’s assistant. Now Hillary’s absolutely neocon to the core. And there’s Victoria Nuland and she goes from being Hillary’s assistant to becoming assistant secretary of state for european affairs and becomes the point person in the overthrow of Yanukovych at the end of 2013 and early 2014.
(by the way, what is it with those USAmericans that they never write fuck as fuck and always seem to have this need to beat around the b*sh?)
