WATCH: Jeffrey Sachs tells the cold, hard truth how the US and NATO provoked war in Ukraine in 4 minutes

"It started in 1990, when US Secretary of State James Baker said to Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not move one inch eastward...

The US then cheated on this, starting in 1994, when Clinton signed off on a plan to expand NATO all the way to Ukraine.

The expansion of NATO started in 1999 with Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

Then, the US led the bombing of Serbia in 1999. That was the use of NATO to bomb a European capital for 78 straight days to break the country apart.

The Russians didn't like that very much, but even Putin started out pro-European and pro-American. He considered whether to join NATO when there was still the idea of some kind of mutually respectful relationship.

In 2002, the US unilaterally walked out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. What it did was trigger the US putting in missile systems in Eastern Europe that Russia views as a dire, direct threat to national security, by making possible a decapitation strike of missiles that are a few minutes away from Moscow.

In 2004-2005, the US engaged in a soft regime change in Ukraine, the so-called First Color Revolution.

In 2009, Yanukovych won the election and became president in 2010 on the basis of neutrality in Ukraine.

In 2014, the US participated actively in the overthrow of Yanukovych. Nuland and the US Ambassador to Ukraine...talked about regime change. So they made the new government!

The US then said 'now NATO's really going to enlarge.' Putin kept saying 'stop, you promised no NATO enlargement.'

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, seven more countries in the 'not one inch eastward.'

In 2021, Putin put on the table a draft Russian-US security agreement. The basis of it was no NATO enlargement.

The special military operations started, and five days later Zelenskyy said 'okay, okay, neutrality.'

And then the US and Britain said no way, you guys fight on. We've got your back. That's 600,000 deaths now of Ukrainians since Boris Johnson flew to Kyiv to tell them to be brave. Absolutely ghastly.

We're not dealing with, as we're told every day, this madman like Hitler. This is complete bogus, fake history that is a purely PR narrative of the US government.

We're playing games here. So God forbid a nuclear power comes at us. I don't know what's going to happen, but we came at them."

Thanks to a document that resurfaced in 2022, we know that the German diplomat made clear that the Western alliance promised not to move NATO beyond the Elbe and excluded "Poland and the others."

This destroys the claim that Baker's comments pertained only to Germany.

Baker's promise not to move NATO "one inch eastward" is a documented fact in the public record.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a British NGO with non-profit status in the U.S, is plotting behind closed doors to “kill Musk’s Twitter,” leaked internal emails show.
CCDH has close ties with the U.S. government and elected officials, including the State Department’s Global Engagement Center and former House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).
Imran Ahmed, CEO of CCDH, sits on a “Council for Responsible Social Media” that includes a former CIA director, a former NSA director, and other former U.S. military and intelligence officials.
CCDH set up meetings with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), chairwoman of the antitrust subcommittee and arguably the most influential Senate Democrat on matters of tech legislation.
The nonprofit’s influence in the UK is also substantial: its co-founder Michael McSweeney is considered the top advisor to the current Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and its board of advisors includes Damian Collins MP, who masterminded the previous government’s online censorship policies.

He's going for the endowments.

He's going to not only tax, but confiscate the endowments of every university that the Department of Justice finds has engaged in illegal discrimination under the guise of "equity".

Which is basically every university in the country, but is especially the DIEvy League, which, if this happens, will die.

This will crush one of the enemy's primary power centers.

If he goes through with this, it's a Henry VIII moment. Dissolution of the monasteries. Vast quantities of capital liquidated and removed from the control of his political enemies ... and vast intellectual capital liberated from the cloistered, cloying oversight of midwit administrators.

Washington, DC – When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke in front of the United States Congress earlier this year, the lawmakers stood up and clapped for him dozens of times.

Now that he is a formally suspected war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), the adoration he received in Washington, DC, in July from US politicians is turning into anger and threats against the Hague-based tribunal.

ICC pre-trial judges issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for charges of using starvation as a method of warfare as well as the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts.

The court found that there were reasonable grounds that the Israeli siege of Gaza “created conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of part of the civilian population”.

With a few exceptions, US politicians from both major parties expressed outrage at the court’s decision, with many questioning the court’s legitimacy.

White House ‘rejects’ warrants
The administration of President Joe Biden was quick to voice opposition to the ruling.


“We fundamentally reject the court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials,” White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.

“We remain deeply concerned by the prosecutor’s rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision.”

She did not identify the alleged errors.

The Biden administration raised eyebrows earlier this month when it said that Israel had not violated a deadline to allow humanitarian assistance to Gaza, contradicting the findings of top aid organisations.

Jean-Pierre also reiterated the US argument that the ICC has no jurisdiction over Israeli officials because Israel is not a party to the court.

But the court has rejected that rationale, asserting that it has jurisdiction on the matter because Palestine – where the suspected crimes occurred – accepts the court’s authority.

US officials have previously argued that Palestinians do not have a state, and therefore cannot enter the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the court. But Palestine, which joined the ICC in 2015, is a non-member observer state of the United Nations.

Asked about calls for sanctioning court officials, Jean-Pierre told reporters: “We are in consultation with our partners, which include Israel, about our next steps.”

A recent Brown University study found that the Biden administration spent $17.9bn on security assistance to Israel over the past year – funds that were vital to the US ally’s devastating war on Gaza.

Call for sanctions
While the outgoing Democratic administration rebuked the ICC, Republicans were even more forceful in condemning The Hague-based tribunal and demanding penalties against its officials.

Senator Lindsey Graham, an ally of President-elect Donald Trump, said it is time for the US government to sanction the ICC for its warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.

The US House of Representatives passed a bill in June to impose sanctions on court officials, but the measure has not been considered by the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer “needs to pass the bipartisan legislation that came from the House sanctioning the Court for such an outrage and President Biden needs to sign it”, Graham wrote in a social media post.

In 2021, the Biden administration removed sanctions on ICC officials that had been imposed by Trump, who will be sworn in for a second term on January 20.

"We will crush you": Graham threatens allies with sanctions over Netanyahu arrest warrant

Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham wants a forceful response to American allies who might comply with an international court order to arrest Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for the prime minister and former defense minister for “intentionally direct[ing] attacks against the civilian population of Gaza” on Wednesday. The United States is not a member of the ICC and the Biden administration dismissed the warrants as “outrageous” on Thursday.

The 124 member nations of the ICC could well arrest the Israeli leader and Gaza war architect if they set foot on their soil, a possibility Sen. Graham rebuked in on Friday while stopping by Fox News' "Hannity."

“If you are going to help the ICC, as a nation, enforce the arrest warrant against Bibi and Gallant, the former Defense Minister, I will put sanctions on you as a nation,” Graham warned. “You’re gonna have to pick the rogue ICC versus America.”

Graham added that he's "working with Tom Cotton" on an act that would sanction any nation who aided in the arrest of "any politician in Israel."

We should crush your economy because we’re next,” Graham said. “Why can’t they go after Trump or any other American president under this theory?

Many of the US’s closest trading partners are committed to abiding by the ruling. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the country had an obligation to uphold the warrant, as did leaders in Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, and other American allies in Europe.

"To any ally, Canada, Britain, Germany, France, if you try to help the ICC, we’re gonna sanction you,” Graham said on Friday.

“That’s the only effect,” Carlson stressed.

What's the strategic angle here,

China has been making inroads in Africa for some time now but what is the immediate trigger. Is it Somalia becoming a bigger headache than it is at the moment?

More recently, the Central Intelligence Agency has been involved in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, especially in relation to the CIA's considerations and plans to assassinate former Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba (and accusations of CIA involvement in his eventual assassination).

Patrice Lumumba was the legally elected first prime minister of the independent country.[3] Lumumba was killed on January 17, 1961, at the age of thirty-five near Élisabethville, Katanga.

Even before the independence of the Congo, the U.S. government attempted to facilitate the election of a pro-western government by identifying and supporting individual pro-U.S. leaders.[4]

The CIA was also notably involved in a campaign against Lumumba's successor, which led to his eventual imprisonment and long exile from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[5] The CIA was also a vital part of the United States' efforts to aid Joseph Mobutu, who took control of the Congo in 1965 and renamed the country Zaire and himself Mobutu Sese Seko.[6] The CIA would work heavily with Mobutu, particularly in relation to American support for the National Liberation Front of Angola and Jonas Savimbi's National Union for the Total Independence of Angola.


...............................


"[7] According to a report regarding the CIA's activities in the Congo from 1960 to 1968, the CIA "comprised activities dealing with regime change, political action, propaganda, air and marine operations, and arms interdiction, as well as support to a spectacular hostage rescue mission."[7] During the heights of the Cold War in 1960s, Congo was regarded as strategically important to US and Western interests. This was due to its size and natural resources including uranium. In short, Congo was "the Cold War prize of the first order" [citation?]. The Chief of CIA Africa Division in June 1960 said, "If Congo deteriorates and Western influence fades rapidly, the bloc will have a feast and will not need to work very hard for it".[8]

United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower was concerned at activities occurring in postcolonial Africa. During a meeting with senior advisors in August 1960 he stated that he felt Communists succeeded in convincing people worldwide that they were concerned for the common man while portraying the United States as dedicated to supporting outmoded regimes.[9]
