Transcript

00:00Politics is a dirty game, full of scandal, lies, and broken promises.

00:05Which promises, you ask?

00:07We agreed that there is no intention to expand the NATO security zone further to the east.

00:13This applies in general, and not only to the German Democratic Republic,

00:16which we do not want to incorporate.

00:18That's the then-German foreign minister in 1990,

00:22telling the world that NATO is done when it comes to members.

00:25No more, we're all full up.

00:27Now, here's a map of NATO members in 1990, and in 2022.

00:34Do you see where I'm going with the broken promises?

00:36Maybe he misspoke, you say?

00:38Maybe, but here are the newly discovered minutes of a meeting one year later,

00:44attended by the foreign ministers of the US, the UK, France, and Germany.

00:51We had made it clear during the 2-plus-4 negotiations

00:54that we would not extend NATO beyond the Elbe.

00:57We could not therefore offer Poland and others membership in NATO.

01:01You'd think being caught in a lie would make you humble, but no.

01:05Sometimes you're so far into it, the only thing you can do is keep it going.

01:09I would like to state once again that neither the 2-plus-4 agreement,

01:13nor the NATO-Russia Founding Act contained promises to Russia that NATO would not expand to the east.

01:18The 2-plus-4 agreement does not mention this issue at all,

01:22and any statements to the contrary do not correspond to reality.

01:25The reality of ink on paper, of archival evidence, of video footage?

01:31There are only two options here.

01:32Either NATO and co. don't know the history of their own military alliance,

01:37or they lied, and the media liked their lies so much, so they spread it.

01:42Where is that written down?

01:44Where is that promise written down?

01:45Don't do that.

01:46Right, right, right, right, right, right, right.

01:52Well done.

01:53Correct.

01:54You've got a point.

01:55Do you want to show him the documents, or shall I?

01:58For years, Russia has been called a mythomaniac and a liar.

02:02But now, black on white, it's there.

02:05NATO has trampled on its promise.

02:07Not once, not twice, but 14 times.

02:11That's how many countries east of the River Elba have become members since the 90s.

02:17Now, Moscow watched silently as NATO missiles rolled towards it.

02:21But when they got to Ukraine, well, that was just a bit too close for comfort.

02:26NATO has started exploration, military technical exploration of Ukraine now.

02:33It's not possible for us to swallow.

02:36You said that there is no space for us to retreat.

02:39There is just only a Russian Federation.

02:41Now, you might remember a reverse, but eerily similar situation in Cuba.

02:46Soviet nukes were just a stone's throw away from America.

02:50Moscow claimed they were just offensive.

02:52Washington called them liars and said it wouldn't compromise on security.

02:56And brought the world as close as it's ever been to a nuclear war.

03:00But NATO and its allies need to be careful.

03:03Because you can shout about being right.

03:05Shout about being principled.

03:07Shout about keeping your promises.

03:09But lies, oh, well, lies have a habit of catching up with you in the end.

03:14Ladies and gentlemen, if you want me to get along with you in the end,

03:15I will see a bit more on PC.

03:23Loser of the Mig wasn't going to be a means.

03:24White년 now means connecting to the

03:39alliance.
