For anyone that didn't watch or understand the Tucker/Putin Interview,

This Video Clip (As Shown Above and linked within the Image) is an excellent summary.

Not entirely accurate. We told Gorbachev that we wouldn’t expand one inch to the east. However, at this point it was still the USSR (not Russia). Our intent was that the USSR was crumbling and we didn’t want NATO expansion to interfere with that domestic pressure.

The Russian Federation =/= the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Two separate countries with two very different governments.

Seems to me that Putin was explaining to Tucker that Ukraine was married to Russia and he was dragging her arse back to the house.

If his goal was to prevent NATO expansion, the Sweden and Finland gave him a big F U!

Who gives a shite? Why should Russia get to decide who joins what? Imagine being a little twerp on Russia’s doorstep.

I blame Clinton for a lot of it. NATO expansion took off in the 90s, became a military offensive (rather than defensive) after bombing Yugoslavia, and we treated Boris Yeltsin like a sucker. Putin isn’t a sucker, he’s not going to roll over and accept a unipolar world with the U.S. government dictating to everyone else what the “rules based order” is.

Show me where the “no inch to the east” was ever memorialized in writing. You can’t. Just another PT fever dream.

I like RFK but what the hell is he talking about with Vladivostok in Crimea?
