Chapter 1: Why is Crimea pivotal to the Ukraine/Russia war?
Trump gets elected, not exclusively, but heavily on the promise, no more of these nonsense wars that are draining the treasury, getting Americans killed, making America weaker globally. There's no upside at all, particularly the war in Ukraine. Donald Trump says, I'm going to do that. I'm going to bring it to a close in like the first hours after becoming president. I think he says that.
And the question to you who actually knows the answer is, how do you do that?
Yeah, well, how you bring the war to an end, this has been on the table since before the war started. And Trump is going to have a much more difficult position now to bring that to fruition because of the horrific decisions made by the outgoing administration. This war could easily have been avoided before it happened. The Minsk agreements.
I know a lot in the West like to say bad things about them. But the fact is that we now know Angela Merkel, Hollande of France have both admitted that that was never supposed to be implemented. They just wanted to, quote, stop Russia's invasion of the Donbass area. That's what they said that it was for. Eastern Ukraine. to buy them time, the Ukraine side time, so that they could defend against it.
It wasn't to implement. And you know that's true because one of the central provisions that was agreed to by the Russians and the French and German and the Ukrainians was that the Ukrainians would change their constitution to have political autonomy and protections for the Russian-speaking people in the East. That was one of the absolute central features of that Minsk agreement.
In the Belarus, in the Minsk. In the Minsk agreements, yeah, in 2015. And it was never done, ever. So the Ukraine side didn't implement the most important provision of it. They were also supposed to move back heavy weapons and all this kind of stuff, some of which happened. And then both sides had minor incursions over the time with artillery that was going back and forth.
Because the Russians are going, all right, we're not going to implement our part of this all fully until you get that central part. And so they just talked about it all this time. And all we had to do is say, okay, Minsk agreements had no NATO in it. There was no NATO for Ukraine inside there. It was just resolve this situation peacefully. It didn't address NATO. It didn't.
So it definitely didn't say that they were on the table. It didn't talk about it. So since 2008, that had been talked about by the West that they were going to come in. But the Minsk agreement would have ended all the the conflict that was on the line of contact for essentially an eight year civil war before this one broke out. All they had to do was just implement those.
And then now then Russia has no need to intervene because the whole issue has always been protection of the rights of the people. Russian people and the ethnic Russians living in eastern Ukraine and the protection on their border not to have NATO in it. So if you get that off the table, now then there's plenty of room.

Chapter 2: How could the Ukraine war have been avoided?
And so he has led the NATO up until just very recently when Mark Rutte took over. But he said, yes, Putin told us that. But of course, we didn't sign that. We're not going to agree with that because no one can tell us who's going to join NATO. So understand at that point, we and of course, the United States was in complete agreement with this.
That war could have been avoided by simply saying what we all knew NATO is never going to accept. Ukraine. There's no way we would ever do that. But instead of saying that, we said the opposite. They're going to come in. And so Putin says, then you've made my decision for me. I'm going to we're going to take military action, which he said on December 22nd, 2021.
He said we will take military specific measures if this continues on. And it certainly we know what happened on February 22nd. So we could have stopped the war from happening before. And then two months in, we could have stopped it again. It is the Istanbul. People certainly know a lot about that. Putin mentioned that when you interviewed him about a year ago.
I think Sergey Lavrov even mentioned it when you talked to him about that, too. They always say we're willing to talk. Everybody has said it that way.
Shut down by Boris Johnson, former prime minister of Great Britain, acting on behalf of the Biden administration.
That is that is that is what we understand. And Johnson has almost never he's kind of waffled with it. But he has said you can't talk to Putin. You can't have a negotiated settlement with him. So whether he actually did it all or was with Biden, we don't know. But we know for sure.
I tried to ask him directly and he demanded a million dollars. For the interview. And I'm seeing him at the end of the month and I hope I'll be able to interview him then. Wow. I'll be watching that one with great interest. I don't have a million dollars in my checking account right now to pay Boris Johnson. But yeah, well, what he has said makes it very clear that that was his position.
No matter who it was, though, that did happen. So just think about it. How many Ukrainians allegedly around a million are dead? And probably double that or maybe even triple that wounded. It's a staggering number. None of them should have died. All we had to do is just say what we already know. NATO's never going to invite Ukraine in and the war would have been avoided. Absolutely.
Because then there's no reason for Russia to ever have invaded in the first place.
