2007, 2008, & 2022 will forever be linked together by NATO treachery
This February 10, 2007 speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Munich, Germany was an early true warning shot over the bow of NATO. After NATO promising General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev of the now defunct Soviet Union they would not expand this military alliance in 1990, they added three Eastern European nations in 1999, then seven nations in 2004, with three being on the Russian border. The Russians voiced their opposition to this expansion towards their borders, but were purposely ignored.
At this point in 2007, the US and NATO had made a conscience decision to continue its planned Eastward expansion to threaten and encircle Russia, hoping to provoke a military response to conduct a proxy war as they are in 2023. During Putin’s 2007 speech at the 14:00 minute mark, you can see warmongers like Senator John McCain in the front row, six feet away from Putin, arrogantly smirking with their dismissive body language. I truly believe that these very reactions from US government officials during this speech is when Putin made up his mind that diplomacy with the West was dead.
Then on April 1, 2008, President George W. Bush announced at the NATO summit in Bucharest, Romania that Georgia and Ukraine would be allowed NATO membership. This put the final nail in the coffin of peace in Europe. Putin had peacekeepers deployed into Georgia to protect ethnic Russians on August 7, 2008. Skirmishes broke out after [after Georgia attacked Russian-ethnics], then a short full war. Russia still occupies the regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia today. Then NATO, as planned, added Albania and Croatia in 2009, Montenegro in 2017, Macedonia in 2020, and recently Finland in 2023.
In this speech, Putin made (2) distinct statements in regards to the United States, then to NATO:
- 3:58 minute mark: “By the way, they constantly teach Russia, use Democracy. But those who teach us, for some reason, do not want to learn.”
- 18:58 minute mark: “I think that it’s obvious that the process of NATO enlargement has nothing to do with the modernization of the alliance itself or with security in Europe. On the contrary, it is a serious provoking factor that reduces the level of mutual trust. And we have a fair right to ask frankly, who is this expansion against?”
So, here we are in 2023 with Ukraine being torn to shreds by the Russian military. Hey, the West got exactly what they wanted right?
So why are they constantly [complaining]?
~ Since April 14, 2014 till April 14, 2023 in the Donbass, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have killed 4,483 civilians, including 134 children; 2,628 civilians were injured, including 183 children.
Why have so many across the west been so silent about this genocide of the Russian ethnics since 2014?
