1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,360
Another book that I would 
recommend reading. 

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,240
It's called A Promised Land by 
Barack Obama. 

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,960
So to understand maybe all of 
the examples I'm using are 

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,760
historical because I have no 
examples in the present of this.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,720
Here is Obama stating the nature
of Vladimir Putin's gripe with 

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,760
America, the US. 
This on page 464. 

7
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:25,160
The US decision 7 earliers 7 
years earlier to pull out of the

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,160
Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty 
and its plans to house missile 

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,640
defense systems on Russian 
border continue to be a source 

10
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:36,480
of strategic instability. 
The admission of former Warsaw 

11
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:39,320
Pact countries into NATO during 
both Clinton and Bush 

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,120
administrations had steadily 
encroached on Russia's sphere of

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,560
influence, while US support for 
the color revolutions in 

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,160
Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan 
under the specious guise of 

15
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:56,280
democracy promotion had turned 
Russia's once friendly neighbors

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,440
into governments hostile to 
Moscow. 

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,720
So in other words, according to 
the former president, Russia's 

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,560
gripe is not, well, we're taking
over Hitler's failed plan to 

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,320
take over the world. 
According to twice elected 

20
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:12,640
president, those are Putin's 
gripes. 

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,040
NATO expansion, color 
revolutions and getting out of 

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,200
now. 
Open Skies as well, but 

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,280
previously the Anti Ballistic 
Missile Treaty.
