00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:02,300
Welcome to Keith's night. 
Don't try it on anyone in the 

2
00:00:02,300 --> 00:00:05,700
libertarian Institute. 
Here is a summary of the last 

3
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:09,300
two public, addresses given by 
Vladimir Putin, starting with 

4
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:14,400
February 24th, 2022 citizens of 
Russia friends. 

5
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:17,700
I consider it necessary today to
speak again about the tragic 

6
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:21,400
events in donbas and the key 
aspects of ensuring, the 

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,600
security of Russia. 
I will begin with what I said in

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,600
my dress. 
On February 21st, 2022. 

9
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:29,800
I spoke about our biggest 
concern. 

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,300
It's and worries and about the 
fundamental threats which 

11
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:36,500
irresponsible Western 
politicians created for Russia. 

12
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:40,600
Consistently rudely and 
unceremonious Lee from year to 

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,400
year. 
I am referring to the Eastward 

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,700
expansion of NATO which is 
moving its military 

15
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:50,200
infrastructure ever closer to 
the Russian border. 

16
00:00:51,100 --> 00:00:55,600
The reason this is important is 
because in 1990 to 1991. 

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,800
There were a series of meetings 
between the American Secretary 

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,600
of State, James Baker. 
And Mikhail Gorbachev, according

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,300
to these meetings, both the 
American and Russian side had 

20
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:10,500
agreed that if Germany was 
reunified and taken out of the 

21
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:13,600
East Germany vs West, Germany, 
where the East was controlled 

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:20,100
by, the Soviets that NATO would 
not expand just as the Cuban 

23
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:23,700
Missile Crisis was the result of
Americans not being happy with 

24
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:27,000
the Soviets having missiles in 
Cuba because the US had first 

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,400
place missiles in Turkey. 
It's too much of a threat. 

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,300
The example that Pat Buchanan 
uses is imagine if Russia had 

27
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:39,800
been funding. 
The Mexican military and 

28
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,400
training them and running more 
exercises and put a bunch of 

29
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,700
Russian troops on the border. 
And Russia is known for 

30
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,800
engaging. 
In regime change Wars, the 

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,900
American Military would double 
would never let that fly. 

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,500
So here are the countries that 
have come into nato in violation

33
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:01,300
of the American agreement. 
Czech Republic Hungary, Poland, 

34
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:05,100
Bulgaria Estonia, Latvia, 
Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, 

35
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:10,199
Slovenia, Albania, Croatia, 
Montenegro, and North Macedonia.

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,700
Here is the current Ukrainian 
president on NATO Ukrainian 

37
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:17,900
presidents. 
Also told a joint news 

38
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:20,400
conference with the German 
Chancellor. 

39
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,200
Of course, we'd like to become 
members of NATO. 

40
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:26,000
It's stipulated in Ukraine's 
Constitution. 

41
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,300
So herein lies the important 
provocation, another piece of 

42
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:33,400
work by Patrick Buchanan. 
I'll get back to the Putin 

43
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,800
summary speech. 
Pat Buchanan wrote, this about 

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,500
the second world war. 
It's important to know that when

45
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,700
you're looking Out the benefits.
Let's say the benefit of getting

46
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:46,300
Russia out of Ukraine. 
What is the cost of doing? 

47
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:49,100
So there's two sides to every 
coin at what cost? 

48
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:52,200
Let's say, we get what we want. 
Are the ukrainians much better 

49
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,500
under the Ukrainian government 
than the Russian government. 

50
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,900
All of this has to be weighed. 
How many lives is it going to 

51
00:02:56,908 --> 00:02:58,200
cost? 
How much property is going to be

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,300
destroyed? 
Here's Pat Buchanan, taking on 

53
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,800
the committing, the heresy of 
questioning, what is referred to

54
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,700
as the good War? 
So this is the one that the West

55
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:10,300
says is. 
So vitally necessary. 

56
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,800
We can't I can't even have a 
discussion on how necessary this

57
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,300
war is. 
So this should give us an 

58
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:19,700
indicator as to what we should 
look at in future Wars on 

59
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:23,300
September 1st, 1939. 70 years 
ago, the German Army crossed the

60
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:27,500
Polish Frontier, on September 
3rd, Britain declared war six 

61
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:31,500
years later, 50 million 
Christians and Jews had perished

62
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:35,800
Britain was broken and bankrupt,
Germany, a smoldering ruin 

63
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:38,200
Europe. 
Had served as the site of the 

64
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,000
most murderous combat known to 
man and and civilians. 

65
00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:46,400
Had suffered worse Horrors than 
the soldiers by May 1945. 

66
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,000
Red Army hordes occupied all the
great capitals of Central 

67
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,300
Europe, Vienna Prague Budapest, 
Berlin. 100 million. 

68
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:57,000
Christians were under the heel 
of the most barbarous tyranny in

69
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,700
history. 
The Bolshevik regime of the 

70
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:02,200
greatest terrorist of them all 
Joseph Stalin. 

71
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,500
So the war for Polish 
Independence, gave Poland to 

72
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:11,000
Stalin Putin goes on to say, why
he believes that the American 

73
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:16,000
Military is a hostile Force as 
opposed to a complimentary one 

74
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,500
properly speaking. 
The attempts to use us in their 

75
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,400
interests never ceased until 
quite recently. 

76
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,900
They sought to destroy our 
Traditional Values and force on 

77
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:28,100
us. 
They're false values that would 

78
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:31,200
erode us our people from within 
the attitudes. 

79
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,400
They have been aggressively 
imposing on their country's 

80
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:37,900
attitudes that are directly 
leading to degradation and 

81
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,700
degeneration, because they are 
Reach a human nature. 

82
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:46,200
This is not going to happen. 
No one has ever succeeded in 

83
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,500
doing this nor will, they 
succeed. 

84
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:51,100
Now? 
Despite all that in December of 

85
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:53,700
twenty Twenty-One. 
We made yet another attempt to 

86
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:57,200
reach an agreement with the 
United States and its allies on 

87
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,300
the principles of European 
security and NATO's. 

88
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,300
Non-expansion. 
Our efforts were in vain. 

89
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:05,100
The United States had not 
changed. 

90
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:08,000
Its position. 
It does not believe it necessary

91
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,200
to agree with Russia, on a 
matter that is tickle for us. 

92
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,200
The United States is pursuing 
its own objectives. 

93
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,100
While neglecting our interests 
Putin, then gives a historical 

94
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:25,200
example of not responding to 
aggressors as they were first 

95
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,000
expanding up to Russian borders.
He goes on as a result. 

96
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,400
The country was not prepared to 
counter The Invasion by Nazi 

97
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:37,500
Germany, which attacked our 
motherland on June 22nd 1941. 

98
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:39,700
Without declaring war, the 
country. 

99
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:43,600
Stop the enemy and went On to 
defeat it, but this came at a 

100
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,900
tremendous cost, the attempt to 
appease the aggressor ahead of 

101
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:51,400
the Great Patriotic War proved 
to be a mistake, which came at a

102
00:05:51,407 --> 00:05:54,800
high cost for our people. 
In the first months after the 

103
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,900
hostilities broke out. 
We lost vast territories of 

104
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:01,100
strategic importance, as well as
millions of lives. 

105
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:05,300
We will not make that mistake 
the second time we have no right

106
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:09,400
to do so. 
Even now with NATO's Eastward 

107
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,400
expansion, the situation for 
Russia has been becoming worse 

108
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,900
and more dangerous by the year. 
Moreover, these past days. 

109
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,900
NATO leadership has been blunt 
in its statement that they need 

110
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:23,200
to accelerate and step up 
efforts to bring their alliances

111
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,100
infrastructure, closer to 
Russia's borders. 

112
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,400
In other words. 
They have been toughening their 

113
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,700
position. 
We cannot stay idle and 

114
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:33,800
passively observe these 
developments. 

115
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,900
This would be an absolutely 
irresponsible thing. 

116
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,200
For us to do. 
This brings me to the situation 

117
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,200
in donbas. 
We can see that the forces that 

118
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,700
staged the coup in Ukraine. 
In 2014, have seized power, are 

119
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:52,400
keeping it with the help of 
ornamental election procedures 

120
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,700
and have abandoned the path for 
a peaceful conflict settlement 

121
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,300
for eight years. 48, endless 
years. 

122
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:01,300
We have been doing everything 
possible to settle the 

123
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:04,300
situation. 
By peaceful political means 

124
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:07,100
everything was in vain. 
As I said in my previous 

125
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:08,500
address. 
You cannot look. 

126
00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:11,200
Compassion that what is 
happening there, it became 

127
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,400
impossible to tolerate it. 
We had to stop that atrocity 

128
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:17,300
that genocide of millions of 
people who live there, who 

129
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:20,200
pinned their hopes on Russia, on
all of us. 

130
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:24,200
It is their aspirations, the 
feelings and pain of the people 

131
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:28,300
that were the main motivating 
force behind our decision, to 

132
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:32,300
recognize the independence of 
the donbas, people's Republic's.

133
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,500
If we look at the sequence of 
events and the incoming reports,

134
00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:40,300
the showdown between Russia. 
And these forces cannot be 

135
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:42,300
avoided. 
It's only a matter of time. 

136
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:44,800
They are getting ready and 
waiting for the right moment. 

137
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Moreover. 
They went as far to Aspire to 

138
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,600
acquire nuclear weapons. 
We will not let this happen in 

139
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,400
this context in accordance with 
article 51 chapter 7 of the 

140
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,600
United Nations Charter with 
permission of Russia's, 

141
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,200
Federation Council, and an 
execution of the treaties of 

142
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:12,000
friendship and mutual assistance
with Dansk People's Republic and

143
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,200
the lugansk People's Republic 
ratified by the federal assembly

144
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,600
on February 22nd. 
I made a decision to carry out a

145
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,600
special military operation. 
The purpose of this operation is

146
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,800
to protect people who for eight 
years now have been facing 

147
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,500
humiliation and genocide 
perpetrated by the Kiev regime 

148
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:34,700
to this end. 
We will seek to demilitarize and

149
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:38,500
do not suffice a Ukraine as well
as bring to trial. 

150
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,799
All those who perpetrated 
numerous bloody crimes against 

151
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,000
civilians, including against 
citizens of the Russian 

152
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Federation. 
Here are some excerpts from 

153
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,900
Putin's February 21st address. 
So I will start with the fact 

154
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,100
that modern Ukraine was entirely
created by Russia or to be more 

155
00:08:57,100 --> 00:08:59,400
precise, the Bolshevik communist
Russia. 

156
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,600
This process started practically
right after the 1917 Revolution 

157
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,400
and Lenin and his associates. 
Did it in a way that was 

158
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,900
extremely harsh on. 
Sure, by separating severing. 

159
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,300
What is historically Russian 
land? 

160
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,300
Nobody asked the millions of 
people living there what they 

161
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:20,300
thought. 
Then both before, and after the 

162
00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:24,700
Great Patriotic War World War 
Two Stalin Incorporated in the 

163
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:29,600
USSR and transferred to Ukraine.
Some lands that previously 

164
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,700
belonged to Poland, Romania and 
Hungary in the process. 

165
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:35,900
He gave Poland part of what was 
traditionally German land as 

166
00:09:35,900 --> 00:09:39,700
compensation. 
And in 1954 Khrushchev took 

167
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:43,500
Crimea away from Russia, for 
some reason and also gave it to 

168
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:46,600
Ukraine in effect. 
This is how the territory of 

169
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,700
modern Ukraine. 
Was formed. 

170
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:53,800
The current leadership of the 
country does not react to the 

171
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,100
request of the people to cancel 
the laws, that undermine the 

172
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:01,100
rights of the Believers. 
And now they have new laws 

173
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,700
adopted again. 
So this is what a third world 

174
00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:08,800
war might get started over a 
geographical area. 

175
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:11,300
That was historically. 
Part of Russia might again, 

176
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,600
become part of Russia, 
devastating. 

177
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,500
Putin continues later in the 
speech. 

178
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:20,900
In March of 2021, Ukraine 
adopted a new military strategy 

179
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:25,100
based on the belief that this 
document is almost completely 

180
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:27,900
aimed at confrontation with 
Russia. 

181
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,500
Some of these translations are 
just difficult to nail down. 

182
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,400
They want to drag foreign States
into the conflict with our 

183
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,600
country. 
The strategy suggests organizing

184
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,400
Russian Crimea and donbas as 
basically terrorist 

185
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,800
underground's and it also 
outlines the War. 

186
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:49,700
We also heard statements about 
Ukraine's, wanting to create its

187
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:54,000
own nuclear power plant, that's 
not just an idle threat. 

188
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,200
We cannot help but react to this
real threat, especially since I 

189
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,300
would like to retract, that 
Western backers can help. 

190
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:07,900
Ukraine, with getting this 
weapon to create yet another 

191
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:13,400
threat to our democracy because 
we can see how consistently they

192
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,100
are pumping. 
Ukraine with weapons of mass 

193
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:19,900
destruction. 
We are well aware that last year

194
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:23,500
under the guise of War Games. 
NATO countries military, 

195
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:25,600
contingents were deployed. 
In Ukraine. 

196
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:30,000
The Ukrainian Army is already 
integrated into NATO, which 

197
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,100
means that Ukrainian units have 
already been approved directly 

198
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:38,400
by the NATO headquarters. 
In other words, if Ukraine joins

199
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:43,300
NATO, it would pose a direct 
threat to Russia's security more

200
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:45,200
than that. 
I will say something that I've 

201
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,400
never shared in public before. 
I It back in 2000, when 

202
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,200
President Clinton was visiting 
Moscow at the end of his term 

203
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,100
and I asked him how America saw 
Russia joining NATO. 

204
00:11:56,100 --> 00:12:00,300
So that's Putin's way of saying.
He has extended his hand to the 

205
00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:03,900
West, going back to the year 
2000, as they have previously 

206
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:06,700
done, when they expanded NATO, 
to the east moving, 

207
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:08,800
infrastructure and Military 
infrastructure. 

208
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,100
Closer to our borders, ignoring 
our protests and warnings. 

209
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:15,100
They simply did whatever. 
They deem necessary and 

210
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:17,400
appropriate and I believe they 
intend to continue. 

211
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,700
In you doing so because they see
us as dogs working at the 

212
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:26,100
Caravan which we have never 
agreed to, and we'll never agree

213
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:29,300
to. 
So the war is over, NATO's 

214
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:32,000
expansion. 
Eastward and violation of 

215
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,800
America's previous promises. 
Pat Buchanan says this, in his 

216
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,700
books, going back to 1999. 
Vladimir Putin, says this, this 

217
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:43,700
is clearly what's at stake here.
Now, people will say, well, we 

218
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,400
can't just sit back and do 
nothing. 

219
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:49,700
But sometimes nothing is better 
than something. 

220
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:52,400
Terrible. 
Here is Pat Buchanan in his 

221
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,300
book, Churchill Hitler, and the 
unnecessary War, unlike 

222
00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:59,700
Churchill in the 1930s. 
Leaders of the late 40s and 50s.

223
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:03,100
Believe that while the fate of 
Poland and Czechoslovakia was 

224
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:08,300
tragic, both were Beyond any us 
vital interest from 1949 to 

225
00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:12,100
1989. 
The American Army, never crossed

226
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:16,300
the Yalta line. 
When East Germans Rose in 1953 

227
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:21,400
and hungarians in 1956. 
Eisenhower declined to act in 

228
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,600
1959. 
I welcome The Butcher of 

229
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,100
Budapest to Camp David while 
Khrushchev. 

230
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,400
If built the Berlin Wall Kennedy
called up the reserves then sent

231
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,200
them home after a year in the 
missile crisis of 1962. 

232
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,100
Kennedy cut a secret deal. 
To take u.s. 

233
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:40,200
Missiles out of turkey for Cruz 
chefs. 

234
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,500
Taking Russian missiles, out of 
Cuba. 

235
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,300
When the Prague spring was 
crushed in 1968. 

236
00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:48,900
LBJ did nothing u.s. 
In action was not due to 

237
00:13:48,908 --> 00:13:54,500
cowardice, but cold calculation,
as to what was worth risking war

238
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:58,700
with nuclear arms, Soviet Union 
and But was not worth risking 

239
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:01,000
War. 
When the Polish workers movement

240
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,400
solidarity was crushed in 1981. 
Ronald Reagan, denounced the 

241
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,600
repression, but he neither broke
diplomatic relations with Warsaw

242
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:14,800
nor imposed economic sanctions. 
And the Soviet Union still came 

243
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,900
crumbling down. 
This war is not necessary. 

244
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:24,300
If you go to NATO's website, you
can look at their key events 

245
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:30,900
list as being created in. 
In 49 and never invoking Article

246
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,400
5, which is the collective 
security article saying that 

247
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,500
basically an attack on Budapest 
is equivalent to an attack on 

248
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:41,100
Baltimore. 
Any Nation is attacked. 

249
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:44,600
All Nations respond as though it
was their own land from 1949 to 

250
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,200
2001. 
They never invoke the article. 

251
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:52,700
So that was Mao Stalin 
Khrushchev Pol, Pot, all those 

252
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:56,400
people. 
For all those years, did not get

253
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:58,700
an 80. 
Response, so they had a lot of 

254
00:14:58,700 --> 00:15:02,500
time to plan for 2001. 
When, if you go to their 

255
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,300
website, it says large-scale 
terrorist attacks in New York 

256
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:06,400
and Washington. 
D.c. 

257
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:10,100
NATO invokes Article 5 for the 
first time ever and adopts a 

258
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:14,300
broader approach to security. 
So the first time they ever do 

259
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:17,100
it, having 52 years to plan for 
how this would go. 

260
00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:21,700
They go to war in Afghanistan 
against the Taliban, spend 

261
00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:23,900
trillions of dollars. 
Tens of thousands of Civilian 

262
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:27,000
lives, tens of thousands of guys
with PTSD. 

263
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:31,800
And women and children suffering
and the Taliban took over in 11 

264
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,200
days after they left. 
So that that is a NATO's, great 

265
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,400
accomplishment for the first 
large-scale born that they 

266
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,800
declared 52 years. 
And and that's that's what we're

267
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,500
risking all this risk for 
virtually. 

268
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:51,800
No reward again doing nothing is
better than doing something 

269
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,700
terrible. 
So finally, we will hear Nancy 

270
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:58,800
Pelosi and even Ben Shapiro. 
Say well, of course, we got to 

271
00:15:58,808 --> 00:16:01,100
support Ukraine. 
Ukraine to democracy. 

272
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,700
Well Russia by the same metric 
is also a democracy, but then 

273
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:06,900
they say, oh well Putin. 
So corrupt and buys off all the 

274
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:09,200
people that their elections 
aren't legitimate. 

275
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:12,900
So without any evidence, they 
believe it's okay to question a 

276
00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:14,500
presidential election. 
Okay? 

277
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:16,100
Different story for a different 
show. 

278
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:21,700
Pat Buchanan gives a number of 
examples for NATO member states 

279
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,400
that were never Democratic. 
He gives the example of Spain 

280
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,500
under General Franco. 
Portugal under dr. 

281
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:34,200
Salazar Greece, being under a 
colonel dictatorship from 1967 

282
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:37,600
to 1974. 
He then says, whether or nation 

283
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,400
is democratic should be of less 
concern to us, then how it views

284
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,800
America. 
In the Cold War autocratic, 

285
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,200
Pakistan was a better friend 
than Democratic India, which 

286
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,300
sided with Moscow in the Afghan 
war chilies. 

287
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:54,800
Pinochet was a better friend 
than the elected demagogue 

288
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,500
Salvador Allende. 
The authoritarians in Seoul and 

289
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:02,000
Manila supported America in 
Vietnam, while France and 

290
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,900
Britain traded With the Enemy. 
So again, there's just no 

291
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:09,599
justification. 
No economic justification. 

292
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,800
No moral one, no strategic one. 
And then the Democratic one is 

293
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:15,900
also fake. 
Thank you for watching Keith and

294
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:19,000
I don't try it on anyone and the
libertarian Institute.
