John Bolton discusses the implications of a tense Trump-Zelenskyy press conference ...He said NATO never attacked anybody!SIMON: What about the Russian argument that the U.S. wouldn't accept a hostile power on their border - they shouldn't have to either?
BOLTON: You know, it's not a hostile power on their border. Ukraine didn't attack Russia. It simply expressed the desire to be free and independent. That ought to resonate with Americans, you know?
SIMON: Well, an adversarial power that's well-armed. Let's put it that way.
BOLTON: So is Finland. So are most of the powers that border Russia based on their historical experience of being oppressed by Russia in - during the Cold War period after 1945. Let's be clear - the NATO alliance has never attacked anybody.
NATO invaded Yugoslavia in 1999, Afghanistan in 2001, and Libya in 2011. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, NATO has aggressively expanded its power and influence, and become the world's biggest empire.
The Deep State is overrun with Russia-haters who have revived the Cold War.
Ukraine did not express the desire to be free and independent. It could have had a favorable peace deal, if it remained an independent neutral country. But no, it insisted on being able to join NATO and to put NATO bases on the Russian border.
Maybe you will say that those NATO invasions are excusable because those nations deserved to be invaded. Maybe so, but Russia deserves to be invaded more than those nations, so it has a justifiable fear of military action.
