Who Started This Anyway?

Among other expert podcasts I digest among my favorites includes Peter Zeihan.  Zeihan is an American geopolitical analyst.  He  studies how place impacts financial, economic, cultural, political and military developments; and makes them understandable to a layperson. 

This is the fifth question of his Q&A series:  Who is the ultimate provocateur in the Ukraine War?  He doesn't think his answer will surprise anyone.

If Russian propaganda has led you to believe that nazi-jewish-gay-demons run Ukraine maybe this isn't the video for you.  Equally as absurd is the idea that NATO and the US are responsible for Ukraine being in this situation.

The US has seen NATO growth since the Cold War's end; roughly 20 countries have joined, and many of them are former Soviet territories.  But joining NATO is no cakewalk.  It's a grueling process and must be unanimously agreed-upon by all members.

So the idea that NATO started this war and has been plotting to eliminate Russia is a stretch.  

Besides, when you actively send tens of thousands of troops into another country, it's pretty hard to get the red off your hands.

Take time to watch.  Five minutes well-spent.....
