That's one of the things that I liked about how President Biden had spoken directly to them.

Ex-U.S. Ambassador to USSR: Ukraine Crisis Stems Directly from Post-Cold War Push to Expand NATO [View all] Uncle Joe Feb 2022 OP

That is the trump/Putin argument, and it is nonesense. Not surprised this is coming from JohnSJ Feb 2022 #1

It's coming from Former Ambassador Jack Matlock, Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #2

Please spare me a Joe. An ambassador under bush and Reagan. And it has nothing to do with JohnSJ Feb 2022 #3

So are all Ambassadors suspect now depending on which President they served under? Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #5

This has nothing to do with NATO expansion, that is pure president for life, Putin propaganda JohnSJ Feb 2022 #7

Putin, Putin, Putin on a river, Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #10

Is it really? JohnSJ Feb 2022 #13

Yes. I believe our focus should be expanded to the Russian People. Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #14

Focus also on the price of a barril of oil. Putin and Russia have already won on that front. L. Coyote Feb 2022 #24

Wouldn't that same reasoning apply to all the major oil/fossil fuel people regardless of nation? Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #34

Exactly, and probably why we aren't hearing about it on the M$M. L. Coyote Feb 2022 #35

Well this article is a bit dated so I'm wondering how much things have changed since April 2020? Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #36

That's why I added the charts, so you could see the change, about a 50% increase. L. Coyote Feb 2022 #37

And so much of it can't be burned without destroying life as we know it. Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #38

Not just "former ambassador" but former ambassador to the USSR, which hasn't existed for 31 years... George II Feb 2022 #16

The Cuban Missile Crisis was about sixty years ago, do you believe Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #18

Has nothing to do with this discussion. Right now Russia is massing troops and military equipment... George II Feb 2022 #31

National Security on NATO expansion is a good article to read. marie999 Feb 2022 #4

Indeed Republicans are quick to blame America first. comradebillyboy Feb 2022 #6

NATO Is a defensive organization blue-wave Feb 2022 #8

Exactly. It is interesting they talk to an ex-ambassador to the USSR under Reagan and bush JohnSJ Feb 2022 #11

Better than following George W. Bush's polices. n/t Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #12

Equally bad. JohnSJ Feb 2022 #15

Not between the U.S. and Soviet Union/Russia Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #19

There have been no disputes between the US and Soviet Union for at least 31 years, and now.... George II Feb 2022 #22

Ukrainians have had an independent blue-wave Feb 2022 #27

My point is not valid? The point of the speaker in the OP's video is that the current friction... George II Feb 2022 #28

Precisely to George W. Bush's statement on April 1st 2008 as I referred to on post #25 n/t Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #29

Indeed, and he was an ambassador to a country that no longer exists but formerly contained Ukraine. George II Feb 2022 #17

Maybe not NATO as a whole, but NATO countries have invaded other countries marie999 Feb 2022 #23

Again, NATO has not blue-wave Feb 2022 #26

The NATO organization itself is defensive. If you're referring to the US "invading" Vietnam... George II Feb 2022 #30

Why did you post a video that blames the US and NATO for the current Ukraine crisis? George II Feb 2022 #9

I took it as blaming George W. Bush's foreign policies. n/t Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #20

It is blaming the expansion of NATO, which is not governed only by American foreign policy.... George II Feb 2022 #21

George W. Bush called for it on April 1st during the last year of his Presidency 2008 and then Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #25

THIS. FreepFryer Feb 2022 #32

Look what you made me do prodigitalson Feb 2022 #40

What an incredibly ironic name prodigitalson Feb 2022 #39

What an incredibly ironic defense of democracy Uncle Joe Feb 2022 #41

Well that was as clear as mud. nt prodigitalson Feb 2022 #42
