@martinoneill5804 The plans to take back Crimea have been around since Yetlsin's time. Yeltsin prevented the nationalists in Russia to do so because, If Crimea can leave Ukraine then it would have set a precedent to allow Chechniya to leave Russia. I saw an interview almost ten years ago, where a bunch of journalists kept asking Putin, was it the American meddling in Syria that made him decide to take Crimea. and he got angry with them all and told them, to shut up and he said (paraphrasing) - "don't you all know anything ? I wasn't Syria, it was Yugoslavia, that's when I made the decision to take back Crimea", that means he made the decision in 1999 and waited for the right time. That was well before Sochi, so the joining NATO issue had nothing whatsoever to do with Crimea in 2014. That's just BS. I have heard Matlock in interviews and he says a lot of things that are really problematic. Like most people who only spent time in Moscow, he has a pro-Russian bias. Kissinger was wrong about Ukraine and changed his mind, he was wrong about the idiotic notion of a "chat". Chatting to Putin does not achieve anything. ok ? DI all the endless chatting by Merkel or Macron have with Putin achieve anything ? No. Matlock and Kissinger obviously never saw that interview in 2015 that I saw or they wouldn't have been talking such nonsense about a chat. Putin was never serious about the NATO thing, he wanted to jump the queue and be admitted ahead of what he thought was insignificant countries, without due process as was mentioned in the interview. I have lived in Ukraine for a decade, how many years did Matlock and Kissinger spend here ? Zero.

What Mr McNair stated at the 7:35 min mark jumped out at me, regarding Africa - "...when we talk to China we get an airport, when the talk to the US e get a lecture..". I am not endorsing Xi's China, f**k his CCP China, but it illustrates a very important point. So... for two years here in Ukraine we've been getting lectures from the US administration about what we can and can't do, due to their "escalation management" BS, that has cost us a victory early on (by not giving us everything we have gotten now, back then). The longer this incrementalism went on the less chance we have had for a clear cut victory. That is obvious. That's the military side of things, but when it comes to economics and the re-build side of things,, oh boy are we on for a lot of lectures. They still won't just hand over the 300 billion odd of ruzzian money, that is clearly required as reparations for what they have done to us here. I am about to lose my home in Pokrovsk and all we are getting us more lectures on long range strikes, and whatever other gaslighting they can throw at us, due to their fear of a ruzzian defeat and the consequences that may ensue. What are they afraid of ? When the Soviet Union broke up, there we're 40,000 nuclear devices here (yes 40,000 it's not a typo, google it) and the wold community dealt with that ok. Why are they worried about a piddling 7,000 ruzzian nukes ? The world community will deal with that too. Don't give us a lecture, just give us what we. need to win. We love our American friends, we don't want ruzzia or China, we just want freedom, like our American friends enjoy.
