00:00Europe is at war now when the war happened the big war
00:03Yeah, when Vladimir Putin sent his troops across the border in 22 you blame the West not him
00:11You said I'll just read it to you and then you can react
00:13That on a tweet it was a consequence of EU and NATO expansion
00:19Yeah judgment you stand by right. I'll tell you what you don't know. I stood up in the European Parliament in
00:252014 and I said and I quote
00:27There will be a war in Ukraine
00:31Why did I say that it was obvious to me that the ever eastward expansion of NATO and the European Union?
00:38Was giving this man a reason
00:41To his Russian people to say they're coming for us again and to go to war but you were echoing him
00:47I was sorry you were echoing him. That's what no, no, no. I know. Sorry. I've been saying this actually
00:53Actually since the 1990s ever since ever since
00:58Hang on a second we provoke this war
01:01It's a you know, of course, it's his fault. He's used what we promote the invasion
01:06Yes, and very interestingly once again ten years ago when I predicted this
01:09But wait, I'm the only person in British politics that predicted what would happen
01:13And of course everyone said I was a pariah for daring to suggest it George Robertson former Labour Cabinet minister
01:20Who went on to become the secretary-general of NATO?
01:23Has in the last couple of weeks said the war is a direct result of EU expansion
01:29I'm asking you because your judgment you want to be prime minister. Let me ask you about someone else
01:33My judgment has been way ahead of everybody else's in understanding this
