3:08 Former President Clinton suspected that President Putin would not honor President Yeltsin's wishes or agreements.

And this is why Clinton decided to break Bush's agreement not to expand NATO first????

Sorry, can you clarify which side is defending democracy? As far as I understand zelenskii has become a self proclaimed dictator, hence my confusion

[@lzl4226]

Russia is defending a democracy, of sorts..... against a coalition of dictatorships of the Ukraine and the EU, using the lives of Ukrainian men so that their masters can win an election in a failed democracy of the USA. To sum up, I guess it's demoautocracy vs autodemocracy.....
