Dr sacks hates the us. What a joke.
That is, all commentators here indirectly confirm that Crimea and Donbass are the Russian Federation
The conflict was over the fact two regions were taken over annexed by Russi and a third one, Crimea was annexed a few years before, and this big drama and war didn't happen. Russia never intended to invade all of Ukraine. Period, and knowing that means they could have said 'we aren't going to move to stop you Russia, but we are going to Build a Wall and create a new Cold War situation, and if Russia invades the West and US will invade. Those first world nation forces can and would stop (at least with a strong possibility) Russian advancement, and not allow or rely on a militarily unprepared and comparatively weak nation like Ukraine, which can supply man-power to NATO stationed troops, gain training and slowly, over a long period, incorporate Western technology and strategies to build them up to a Western and NATO aligned nation.
The US simply bought eastern Europe. All these countries have huge foreign debts. Poland – 300 gigabucks, Romania – 200 gigabucks, and so on. At the same time, they buy American weapons at huge prices. All these weapons are powerless on the battlefield against large numbers of UAVs
We remain steadfast in our solidarity with Ukraine and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to supporting the government and people of Ukraine in their courageous defence of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and in their fight for a peaceful and prosperous future.
— Joint Statement on Ukraine, incl. USA, September 2020
"Let every Nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend or oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and success of liberty."
— President John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961
Budapest Memorandum, December 5, 1994. Memorandum on security assurances in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, signed by Ukraine, the United Kingdom, United States and Russian Federation (Budapest Memorandum).
Jeffrey Sachs is arguing that Ukraine should have peaceably accepted Russia's invasion and annexation of sovereign Ukrainian territory.
The news reporter she needs to move her hair out of her eyes.
NATO? USA? How about the Centralised Money Power that Controls the Congressional Military Industrial Complex and the Neo Con Artist Proxies of The Lobby.
Please explain. In best scenario , usa what they get?
This channel here does not give a real picture of things. You talk about that there was an oppertunity for a negociated peace at the beginning of the war ( oh – sorry – I mean "The Special Military Operation" – as you have talken over Putins way of describing things ). The only possibility there was for an negociated peace for Ukraine was: Surrender. It does also say something about Dr. Jefferey's sympaties that he copies the terminology of the Russian propaganda directly, he says "Special Military Operation" about the invasion of Ukraine – but "war" about the conflict in Gaza.
At around 03:28 the most ridiculous lie was uttered, that in Dec 2021 Putin said “Let’s negotiate”. In Dec 2021 US declassified and publicly announced that Russia was planning an all-out invasion of Ukraine, while Russia kept lying to the world they had no plans to attack Ukraine, that this was all “Western Lies and Hysteria”.
I pray that putin remains in power.
He has shown tremendous restraint and great strength to contain this conflict in Ukraine and not turn this into WW3.
Go look at who owns the land and resources of Ukraine. It's not Ukrainians.
"…the country's 2 year war with Russia" Ukraine was INVADED by Russia, they didn't choose this war. Ukrainians protested the decisions of the former president, yes it got violent because voters were angry about being lied to – then Yanukovich ran away to Russia.
Yanocovich was a Russian puppet. How could you say he represented neutrality? Ukraine rose up and ousted him.
This channel is …no use! Too little too late! Bravo 👏🏻 to JSacks!
Russian shill
What I see is a lot of smoke. What is occurring is an attempt to steal the song Permission as well as The-Me-Line. the key word attempt.
Excuse me, where is the NEWS, this is all a regurgitation of facts well know to all.
/././.——/ 🤣
😆: kyiv. has more than doubled its Treasury holdings since February 2022. kyiv’s investmen t in US debt .jumped 1.8 times, or, by $10.7 billion./ The country’s current holdings, of. $24.5 billion is the highest, since, at, least 2011 ./…😂
Here is what comes next. Ukraine will finally stop fighting which is what they should have done before they started fighting Russia. Russia will present a whole host of demands which if the US wakes up they will agree to. Some Ukrainians will go back home to Ukraine but millions will be brought to the good old USA for years of support. The US will pay for the pipeline Biden had blown up and we will pay for the other damage caused by our terrorist government. We will continue to pay billions to Ukraine to keep it going in some form. The fiscally responsible US congress will impose tax increases to pay for all these expenses. (just kidding) All in all it is going to be a total mess for years to come which the idiots in Washington should have considered before they went on their get rid of Putin lark. Always plan for the worst.
Has professor been to Ukraine? I doubt that.
Fake news disinformation.
You forgot the US naval base the US wanted to put in Ukrain.
The Hill has become a platform for Russian shills! Shameful.
