Dave Smith on Joe Rogan, talks about a deal that could have been accepted... luckily he starts going through the history of how we got here or else I would have said it's a bit shortsighted. To be clear, back in 1991 Ukraine AGREED to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for guarantees that Russia wouldn't invade. People now say that was contingent on no NATO expansion. NATO expands. Why did NATO expand? Cause countries saw how much better they would be treated.if they went West instead of East!



Pro-US or Pro-West? Says something about NATO expanding which was a violation of 'the deal' back in 1990s. Colbery Report: Gideon Rose talks about Ukraine trying to up its game cause... life would suck under Russia. Ukrainian govt tries to go pro-Russia, pro-West forces in Ukraine overthrow the govt. And? Yes, Ukrainians made a choice to go along with it because they knew what shit awaited them under Moscow! Sure, blame the US! BLAME THEM! Ukraine isn't new to this, but they did want it to stop! To be their own country, to make their own decisions. Pro-NATO, why not? THAT IS A CHOICE!
