This is a guy associated with that bunch of mostly Clinton and Carter-era diplomats and jokes called Diplomats for Change or something like that that emerged after 911.
True, Ukraine Nazis and GloboHomo Tyranny could have had constructive peace, if they had abided by the Minsk Agreements.
But then they couldn't stab anyone in the back, an impossibility, for them.
Now that they forced this confrontation, it's best that Zelensky fight to the last Ukrainian, as he's promised to do.
Matlock along with Admiral Crow were members of Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change in 2004... while not directly feeding up to supporting John Kerry for president, that was the effect for all practical purposes.
Crowe was a pusher of the Anthrax vaccine in Clinton’s time and an investor in Big Pharma...as were others in the group...
The biggest beneficiary of the order to force the anthrax vaccine on the military was Adm. William Crowe, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who had provided political “cover” for Clinton at a key moment during his bid for the presidency in 1992. Crowe personally vouched for Clinton against charges that he was a draft dodger.
Well, a little update is in order:
Admiral Crowe is one of the people involved in this group below:
26 Former U.S. Officials Oppose Bush Associated Press ^ | Today, a little more than an hour ago. June 13, 2004
WASHINGTON - Angered by Bush administration policies they contend endanger national security, 26 retired U.S. diplomats and military officers are urging Americans to vote President Bush out of office in November. The group, which calls itself Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change, does not explicitly endorse Democrat John Kerry for president in its campaign, which will start officially Wednesday at a Washington news conference. The Bush-Cheney campaign said Sunday it would have no response until the group formally issues its statement at the news conference. Among the group are 20 ambassadors, appointed by both Democratic and Republican presidents, other former State Department officials and military leaders whose careers span three decades.

A list of members includes:
... Prominent members include retired Marine Gen. Joseph P. Hoar, commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East during the administration of Bush’s father; retired Adm. William J. Crowe Jr., ambassador to Britain under President Clinton and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Reagan; and Jack F. Matlock Jr., a member of the National Security Council under Reagan and ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987 to 1991....
...“The war might have been prevented – probably would have been prevented – if Ukraine had been willing to abide by the Minsk agreement, recognize the Donbas as an autonomous entity within Ukraine, avoid NATO military advisors, and pledge not to enter NATO,” ...
I believe this is true. Looking back at all that preceded the invasion - the conferences between the parties over several years, and more - clearly Russia was willing to protect its borders from an encroaching NATO utilizing the provisions of the Minsk Agreement. Ukraine was steadfast against it. And the Dombass territory has been in constant turmoil since 2014 with daily battles and casualties between the Ukrainian troops and the local militias supported by Russia.
So if only Ukraine had done everything Moscow demanded, all would have been well! The Czechs tried that with Germany, same results.
Did this former ambassador wave around a piece of paper with his insights fluttering in the breeze?
Trejo is just another idiot internet @hole given how he ends the article.
It would be good if people could be adult about all this, but that's a lost cause.
Putin did not abide by the Minsk agreement so Ukraine was supposed to unilaterally abide by it?
Matlock never read Putins many speeches over many years claiming all Ukraine was part of Russia.
All Matlock is doing is repeating Putin’s excuses.
Russia already crushed Georgia
This hack may be a former ambassador doesn’t mean he’s right
It is laughable to think Georgia would’ve ever been accepted into NATO
