It became what we call the Deep State Project, meaning it didn't really matter who the president was. Each president would come and basically would be informed, NATO's moving eastward, you're part of that process. So Clinton started it in 1994.

And as Prime Minister Orban said, he mentioned briefly, in 1990, on February 9th, 1990, in unequivocal, clear as can be terms, the United States had said to President Mikhail Gorbachev, NATO will not move one inch eastward. And if you have any doubt about it, all the documents are now online, available. You can scrutinize everything.

Hans-Dietrich Genscher, the German foreign minister, said the same thing same day. He's on tape actually explaining, no, no, I don't just mean within Eastern Germany. I mean anywhere to the east. being Clinton, and the US deep state being the US deep state, started this project in 1994. They already had the idea, by the way, in 1991, 92, as soon as the Soviet Union ended.

Aha, now we move, now we move eastward, now we control everything, now we are the sole superpower. So this has gone on for 30 years. And each president got into it under George Bush Jr. Seven more countries were added, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Romania in 2004. Then in 2007,

President Putin said at the summit that's taking place right now, the Munich Security Summit, said, stop. You told us no expansion, not an eastward expansion, even an inch, you said. You've now done 10 countries. Stop. Perfectly reasonable. Stop. I don't think our president, Donald Trump, would much like to see China and Russia building their military bases up from Central America.

This was how the Russians saw this. Why are you coming to our border when you told us you weren't gonna move? And there was one other thing that was very important in this, which was probably the most decisive thing and almost not even recognized. The U.S. did something really, really, really destabilizing, and that is it unilaterally left the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.

That was a core strategy to stop a nuclear war between the two superpowers, because what ABM had done for 30 years was to say, we each have deterrents. If you strike us, we can strike back. We'll limit our anti-ballistic missiles so that both sides maintain deterrence. In 2002, the United States unilaterally, unprovoked, Walked out of ABM said, no, no, we're not gonna do it anymore.

We're going to put anti ballistic missile systems into Russia's bordering territories. The Russians said, are you kidding? The US said, what's your problem? We do what we want. So in 2007, Putin said, stop already. In 2008, George Bush Jr. doubled down, as Americans typically do, and said, okay, now we're moving to Ukraine and to Georgia. That was why this war occurred.
