1:10 minutes but worth a listen ...
Is there a transcript? I detest wasting time watching videos. One can read a transcript in a small fraction of the time spent watching.
It’s that I have better things to do for an hour. I am sure you could sum up everything this guy says in two paragraphs.
When he was in the Military, if his briefing took more than an hour he wouldn’t have made it above the rank of captain.
This video was put out by an organization founded and run by the widow of noted nutjob Lyndon LaRouche. Black was a big supporter of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and he appears frequently on Russian state TV. Keep all of that in mind as you listen to him blame the U.S. and Ukraine for Putin’s war:
“President Putin made a desperate effort to stop the march towards war back in December of 2021. He went so far as to put specific written proposals on the table with NATO, peace proposals to defuse what was coming about. Because at this point, Ukraine was massing troops to attack the Donbas. And so, he was trying to head this off. He didn’t want war. And NATO just blew it off, just dismissed it; never took it seriously, never went into serious negotiations.
“At that point, Putin seeing that armed Ukrainians, with weapons to kill Russian troops were literally on their borders, decided he had to strike first. Now, you could see, that this was not this was not some preplanned attack. “
Putin had no choice but to invade, because there were Ukrainians on Russia’s border with their own soldiers! Utter garbage.
bfl
I agree that the US and others are intentionally doing everything they can to escalate the war… and that they intentionally did things to instigate the conflict in the first place.
This was all supposed to happen under President Hillary. They’re behind schedule, trying to catch up. Covid has helped.
Your comment reminds me of the old joke.
An American and a Russian are drinking in a bar debating what country is better. The American asserts that he is free in his country to shout Biden is a crook and should be removed from office. Unlike in Russian he won’t be arrested for such an action.
The Russian replies the American is wrong. In Russia he is also free to shout that Biden is a crook and should be removed from office.
“Russia: Let us spread communism or we will nuke you
I don’t believe I have ever read a more ignorant statement on FR. Does not bode well for the FR class of 2021.”
I’m with you! What an incredibly ignorant comment. The original comment that we are spreading communism is absolutely ludicrous and shows the IQ (or lack thereof) of the person making such a crazy, illiterate statement.
Russia has not been a communist country for over 30 years! For almost 15 years they have told the west to stop encroaching on their doorstep through NATO. Their voice fell on very deaf ears. In the months leading up to the special military operation, they explained very succinctly the terms of what they wanted from the west. The west absolutely refused to negotiate. Thus we are in this mess.
So, here we are poking the largest nuclear power on the planet. Real smart, these geniuses who are called our leaders.
On the flip side, it seems obvious that the political leaders of the US are bound and determined to drag us into another war. Ukraine is exactly like all the other proxy wars the US has initiated; Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. Now, those proxy wars turned out really well for us. Right? Many thousands of deaths of our young men and millions of deaths for the citizens of the countries we invaded.
Real bright. And now we are headed down the same path again with billions in so-called support and aid when we can’t even manage our own country with over 30 trillion in debt that is growing exponentially.
So, continue to blame the Russians you fool.
Right.
