the ukraine war better than anything else and julian assange deserves all of the credit for this and it's also an interesting story if i may just say in one minute uh our current cia director william burns in 2008 was the u.s ambassador to russia And when he was U.S. ambassador to Russia, he understood completely, perfectly that the U.S. push to expand NATO to Ukraine was disastrous.

Pure provocation, crossing Russia's red lines, likely to create a civil war inside Ukraine and a possible war between the United States and Russia. And he wrote a memo back to Condoleezza Rice, our Secretary of State. And the memo said that the entire Russian political class opposes NATO enlargement and for real reasons.

Don't play games with this. This is real. This is a red line. Okay, something like this should be understood by the American people. We've just spent around $200 billion. We've just caused deaths of perhaps six or 700,000 Ukrainians. On completely false pretenses.

Not only was it provoked, the U.S. provoked it. And not only that, our senior diplomats knew that. Knew that at the time and wrote about it. Now. This memo makes this perfectly clear.
