Assume ‘he’s not telling you the truth’: Former EU diplomat on negotiating with Putin

Christiane Amanpour speaks with Catherine Ashton, former EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, about Vladimir Putin, negotiations, and her new book "And Then What?". #CNN #News

Putin is worried to see a successful democracy develop next door. NATO has never been the issue.

[@emildavidsen1404]

Yes and no. When Putin says Nato is a threat to Russia, its a halftruth. Its obviously not a threat to the Russian Federation as recognised by the UN, but, it is a threat to Russian expansionism and ambitions of restoring their Imperial borders. He just leaves this bit out.

We knew the bioweapons labs Putin wanted shut down existed, so we knew we he said he was going to attack Ukraine if they weren't shut down, that he was going to attack Ukraine. He never lied about that, it was our governments that lied to us.

[@huginug]

because we don't think like psychopaths do and it's not a good idea to believe every threat coming your way. He also threatens to use nuclear bombs, should we believe him too? What he did was not rational and we were under the impression that Putin was a rational man, just using threats as an intimidation tactic, but it turns out he's just senile maniac who dreams of bringing back glory to Russia

[@Sovoko65]

Maybe because they refused to implement Minsk agreements and bomb Donbass region last 8 years killing 14.000 civilians for which west didn't give a shit 🤔

[@gregkravz]

But perhaps you understand and can explain how NATO declared since the 1990s that it was not going to expand, but in quiet sadness equipped bases in Odessa and moved nuclear missiles to Poland? Why did NATO, to test and demonstrate uranium-core bombs for Saudi customers, plan a sabotage operation to incite ethnic conflict in Yugoslavia. Why did Powell shake a vial of cocaine to hang Saddam? Money! American congressmen are big owners of military stocks and military factories. For them, NATO is the market, war is the breadwinner, and people's lives are expendable bio-waste. You who have not seen shells falling on the roof will never understand this, just like the people in Kiev until 2022 who laughed on the show at people in Donbass sleeping in basements.

What for? Ashton lied to the Ukrainians, filling their heads with silly ideas about EU membership being able to root out corruption in Ukraine if only Ukraine would join. You see, Putin is not the only liar, just the most cynical and shameless. It was the Europeans, after all, who gave us the tongue in cheek definition of a diplomat: the man who lies for his country;-) It was never true that EM membership would drive out corruption. Just look at how much corruption remains, for example in recently joined EU members like Bulgaria and Romania.

You mean about Biden's never contacting Twitter, but Trump and Trump's WH contacted multiple times. Including Trump's demanding to remove the twit calling him "pussy ass bitch"? Media, obviously, is talking about it, but it should talk about it more.

I can see why, being a EU high representative, she might focus on the EU side of the issue, but in all bluntless, Putin simply wants Ukraine. Also, check out the recent interview with Julia Ioffe, so much insight.

If you want to know what he and his cronies are doing and planning just listen to what they are accusing others of. It's actually a very accurate way to find out. If he told me it was sunny outside I would put my coat on. I wonder if any diplomats or politicians ever call him out on his lies. I think they should. They should say "we know you are lying, liar. Tell the truth or we have nothing to talk about".
