Jeffrey Sachs - How the US Provoked the Invasion of Ukraine

[@Liberty-Vault]

Do you agree with Jeffrey Sachs regarding the origins of the Ukraine War? For more liberty clips, subscribe to my channel and click the bell!

[@RobertSmith-lw2bx]

100%

[@JackRichardsonM8]

No. He's a Putin shill.

[@Mozephus80]

Not at all. Putin wants buffer states around Russia and doesn’t want them being westernized, thereby invalidating those countries sovereignty. Russia was never under any threat from NATO, and certainly was never going to be invaded. It has a nuclear deterrent… Whereas every country that joined NATO did for the exact same reason: They don’t trust Russia. Putin is a paranoid geriatric that thinks Ukraine doesn’t have a right to exist - as he pointed out in his ‘21 essay. Jeffrey Sachs is just another anti-war activist who’s apologetic towards Putin’s regime.

[@eddastrohmayer251]

​​​​@@Mozephus80 My country Austria proves that you are wrong: AUSTRIA has been a westernized neutral buffer-state between NATO and Warsaw-Pact for decades. We are neutral and EU-member state. Austria would have been and still is the perfect model for Ukraine ! And Prof. Sachs is absolutely right !

[@Basti7352]

You do not have to agree with Jeffrey Sachs or not, because he is not giving opinions or feelings. He is providing proven specific facts and dates. One doesn’t have to agree, one has to learn from him. Admirable decent man that is fighting for peace with the truth.

So you invade a country to prevent its membership (valid call), say that you’re making this call because of there’s Nazis there. But because you do that two other countries that had zero interest to join the evil alliance, actually joins the alliance therefore expands said alliance’s direct border onto yours totally invalidates the whole argument that you’re sending your economically challenged canon fodder to die.

The US would try to get rid of the reds, but probably not by invading. Being a prosperous nation, it has so much to offer to its direct neighbours that it has not so much need for hard power projection. A major fallacy in the premise of the comparison is that you suppose that Eastern Europe was forced into nato.

[@TimMountjoy-zy2fd]

If you really want to know what caused this war then read Ukrainian political history from 1990 onwards and read Putins essay on Ukraine written in June 2021. The rise of Ukrainian nationalism is what gradually occurred in direct opposition to the level of control in Ukraine by the minority but powerful Russians in the East Ukraine. This culminated in 2014 where the Ukrainian nationalist in Parliament clash with the Russian backed President over the countries economic direction ie EU or CIS. The people took to the streets and the Russian backed President fled to Moscow to get help. This caused Putin to seize Crimea and start uprisings in the Donbas. This solidified and united the Ukrainians and after losing Crimea without firing a shot they vowed to not let this happen again and that meant pushing Russians out of powerful positions in Gov / Armed Forces / Border Control / Intelligence etc etc (ie discriminating against Russian which led to Nazi accusations) and Putin now faced losing even more control in Ukraine. This is why he invaded as he was NOT prepared to let Ukraine be an independent country which is what it was becoming. In the June 2021 essay Putin makes clear that he sees one country and one people that has been split by history. Great Russia, Little Russia (Ukraine) and White Russia (Belorussia). This he sees as a historical tragedy and he sees himself as the person to reverse this and reunite the divided people. Its the few Nazi Ukrainian Nationalist who are forcing the Ukrainians away from their brothers and he will rescue them so they can become one again. (Read that essay its important to get Putin's perspective). However it turns out this is not how Ukrainians saw themselves. They saw their time UNDER Russia as oppression and they will fight to NOT return to that. The USA is a minor player in all of this and is NOT influential in Ukraine and DOES NOT decide Ukrainian politics. That's is Sachs trying to make himself out to be important and his time there as critical. It wasn't.

Because not long before that US had placed nuclear missiles in Turkey. So they both agreed to withdraw the nuclear weapons from each other's doorstep. Everyone knows about Cuba but few know that it all started with placing nuclear missiles in Turkey. Nobody civilised wants war, your comment is plain stupid. However, Putin is not civilised, he dreams of restoring the soviet empire, it is his life goal so he invades neighbouring countries like Georgia or Ukraine and butchers those nations which want independence like Chechens.

1991 Ukraine is the creation of Lenin in 1922, Donbas, Stalin in 1945, Eastern Poland and Zakarpatska from Hungary in 1945, and Khruschev in 1954, Crimea. Kievan Russ is the cradle of Russia, fertilized by Vikings and later by Khazars Jews (Pale of Settlement). In short, Ukraine is a hodge podge of a country NOT worth risking a global nuclear Armageddon. The US has no more vital national interest in Ukraine than Russia has in Cuba or Mexico.

Gurbachov also confirmed that no such promise was made. Nato didn't have base in Ukraine. NATO could no say NO to any country which dont apply. The war started because Putin lost control of Ukraine. He needed pupped country like Belarus. Putin spends billions in propaganda. Forming fake institutes, sponsoring bloggers vloggers, streamers and massive bot farms.

The real sequence of events is that Putin became angered about implementation of the Magnitsky act in US and RoW (named after the young Russian lawyer that Putin had murdered after he uncovered theft by Putin of 200 million). The act prevents Putin’s cronies and their WAGs from secreting the funds they steal from the Russian people in western nations.

[@ivailonikolov1334]

I disagre, Gorbachov stated that nobody promise that Nato will not expand. He was promise not to move Nato solders in east part of Germany(Germany was unified in 1990). Warshaw Pact was dissolved end of 1991. After that countries try to look for other military alliance. There is no sense to Agree not expand Nato Because there was nowhere to expand. Gurbachov also confirmed that no such promise was made. Nato didn't have base in Ukraine. NATO could no say NO to any country which dont apply. The war started because Putin lost control of Ukraine. He needed pupped country like Belarus. Putin spends billions in propaganda. Forming fake institutes, sponsoring bloggers vloggers, streamers and massive bot farms. Now when he saw how much the war cost he will be even more generous. If NAto is dangerous for Russia why nobody invading right now when he is weaker(from conventional military point of view.)?
