so that was ultimately what caused mikhail gorbachev to let german unify. the document itself the final settlement on germany explicitly allows article v to move eastward across the cold war line is bush we should wan. there are certain conditions. it can't with nuclear weapons into eastern germany, thus creating the situation that today eastern german is the only part of your that is nuclear free by treaty but this document final settlement in germany denslow article five to move eastward across the cold war line and gorbachev authorized signature. so that's 1990 controversy to gorbachev as mighty the waters waters about that because he in 2014 on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall, try to improve his historical image by bullying journalists into rewriting this history. so he in 2014 said to a journalist, he said, you know, nato expansion never came up when i was in office, never. and then gorbachev switched referring to himself in the third person and start dictating to the journalists interviewing him what to write. so this is gorbachev

james baker by the us secretary of state at the end eighties - early nineties, then he promised mikhail gorbachevo expand nato to the east. now the military-political bloc has changed its rhetoric and assures that no one has made such statements. however, the words of bush jr. confirm the opposite, the secretary of state. becker promised gorbachev not to expand, but that would be completely wrong, especially given the threats that russia now poses. yes, that's right. that 's right. listen times are changing. baker was secretary of state. with my father. it's been many years back. ah, so the united states. it is necessary to adapt flexibly to the time and that is why now you find such powerful support for our country. george w. bush did not hide it in a conversation with vovan and lexus. what is the main goal of the national battalions in ukraine and your mission is to destroy as many russian troops as possible question tom will you continue to receive the necessary assistance? i certainly hope so, and it is very important for the united states to continue to lead this movement and provide you wit

remember what happened in august in 1991, when the junta came to power after supposedly removing mikhail gorbachevnd, well , then the west was also afraid of the collapse of the soviet union, because nuclear weapons were in various former or former republics of the soviet union , and the united states of america was also afraid of the collapse of e- e of the soviet union, although it seems to be on one side of the table, but on the other side it is not clear. during some short period, why i am asking about this now, i will explain now because many people ask when the russian-ukrainian war will end, but i always say in this situation that it can end just as it began, mentioning the experience of this failed putsch when it seemed that the soviet union would now enter such a black line, uh, because there is a coup, there is a junta that will now take power into its own hands, or could it be so in the russian-ukrainian war that some episode or some event or some fragment of this war will radically change the history and course of this war and lead us to victory, well, mr. sergey, it seems to me that t

so, this is mikhail gorbachev's own notes for may 1990, he knows that it's about central and eastern europe. despite that, when push comes to shove, he signs the final settlement on germany in exchange not for guarantees about nato but, instead, for a huge financial infusion from the west germans. the deputy national security adviser at the time, bob gates, who of course went on to an illustrious career becoming the secretary of defense, as he put it, we decided on a strategy of bribing the soviets out. this is bob gates. and even better, the west germans paid the bribe. so, that was ultimately what caused gorbachev to allow germany unify. the document itself, the final settlement on germany, explicitly allows article five to move eastward across the cold war line, as bush had wanted. there are certain conditions. it can't move nuclear weapons into eastern germany, creating the situation that today easter germany is the only country that is nuclear free by treaty. but this document, the final settlement in germany, does allow article five to move eastward across the line and gorbache

so , about this time, mikhail sergeevich gorbachev announced that this fight against alcohol was a drye movie house they banned vodka from serving in a restaurant , but we karina karinochka is a waitress who is in in bottles from under borjomi she brought vodka and did so and topped up already, allegedly borjomi, so that even at the next table they would not understand that they had not served glasses, and god, papers and everything, of course, in cups here under coffee, but usually usually a flute. well, water, but the most interesting mikhalkov brought marcel to dinner. and when marchel saw some years there, where he was already filming quite young, he shed a tear, and the audience applauded the films, and he was just so excited that in russia they love italian cinema and its themes so much. more. and he, and he was the host comrade. and so, and that means nikita brings him, which means that this is the most to the restaurant. so nikita doesn't know how to ask for vodka, that's all, and yet they look at their table, because marcello came. well, and karina is wonderful, she was instru

come on, this mikhail sergeevich gorbachev is alive and god forbid he eats.live, because of course. i don't want to talk about this guys. i think this is one of the most terrible punishments to live up to the moment when you see the result of this reign of his, if you are still in your right mind, to understand what an unfortunate disaster. this led now ads after it let's continue with the new lineup. zelensky here in the kharkiv region, he went around the basement strangely. he is a man, of course, simply amazing. well, that doesn't really help much. they are what they are called, vladimirovich, correct me, not a prisoner evacuated evacuated. here, one of the azov residents was evacuated to the chechen republic directly to the pre-trial detention center in the city of grozny , probably of his own free will. yes, the one who threatened ramzan akhmanovich, in general, now all these bastards are testifying, telling how they killed prisoners, but zelensky is not interested. he the same layer of narrative advances. i love to read the speeches of citizen denis, i

and nato how the former head of the state department, james baker, promised soviet president mikhail gorbachevce to the east. baker was my father's secretary of state, and that was years ago, and that means the united states. it is necessary to adapt flexibly to the time, answering one of the questions. bush agreed. now in ukraine there is a war of the western world against the russians. well, the main tasks and ukraine called the destruction of the russian army and your mission is to destroy as many russian troops as possible. question tom will you continue get the help you need? of course, i hope so for the united states, it is very important to continue to lead this movement and provide you with the necessary support, the ex-president of the united states did not deny the existence of a biological laboratory in ukraine, on behalf of zelensky prankier, they said that many laboratories that were funded during the bush presidency were evacuated to safe the place is good to smart guy. unknown details and details of this prank now we will find out what is called firsthand to vovan or for real vl

surgery when she lost her mother and prepared for the arrival of the soviet power couple, mikhail and marissa gorbachev round of applause for nancy reagan. [applause] >> want some water? >> thank you. well, here we are carl. [laughs] i sent a few friends. >> i was thinking, something nobody i know as ever asked you, i've never seen it written or published anywhere, or on television. your mother was a very strong democrat, and your father are republican. >> yes. well yes. my mother was a strong democrat, my father really wasn't into politics, he leaned more toward republicans. >> when you were younger what were your politics was it something that you are interested in? >> i didn't know one thing about it. not a thing. and when we got married, i didn't know anything about it, everything i learned i learned during our courtship and after we were married. [laughs] obviously. >> were you a democrat? >> i was nothing. [laughs] i don't say that with pride. because that was wrong, and you know, young people in those days weren't as involved politically, and you should be, but truth was i wasn't. have >> if you

. >> well, as mikhail gorbachev used to say, your question, there is an answer, you just answered itof the reasons we say russia has a strong state or china has a strong state is because they don't trust -- they don't trust the people to make the right decisions and people don't always make the right decision. there is also a competition for the better one. this is something that the soviet union never understood, in fact, the russian empire before the soviet union never understood, they were very brief moments when russia had potential to go that direction into plurality of opinions and then just putin coming out of kgb, he doesn't even think that there is a potential for people's voice to be heard and it can be useful to his own -- to his own governance. i think it stopped and i wrote about this 2020, when he held this sham referendum and now he can be leader for life. he's actually -- he can stay in power. he can continue to be -- to have elections so to speak, to stay in power and feel -- 2036. he won't be alive by then but he may be around. the dictators never know how to get us

being afraid to say this is what you are talking about, the process will go faster, as mikhail sergeevich gorbachev deepen it and everything will be in order, so to speak, but i liked something else. see. what a parallel. well, we are very curious about jones and the arrestees here, because johnson says no need to be touched. you don't have to be embarrassed. eh, ukrainian heroism. come on, you know this, it turns out that this heroism does not justify itself. it is necessary, of course, to give them more, but somehow this tons appeared, but the arrestovich got something else. but here's how we we would fight there, but the west does not help us very much. we are what is strong. we have an adversary. it turned out that the russian army is literate and is fighting. okay. yes, they are everywhere, but that 's where she gets there she is. and this is what curious means a dispute and the arrest officer decided, which means he says, i propose a test to the west, look. protests, yes, the west is now passing the most significant test, which is essential for its adequacy. and while he knocks him down, beca

back, if you go back to history, well, a whole story, if you believe that that naive mikhail mikhailovich gorbachevis completely different by others. he is completely different, he is engaged in completely different other parties, in other words he was engaged. believe me, i believed in the word of us. that everything is something everything, then what is happening, so that everything that i do, then we are not already happening, then things were going on, but they are already really no conscience conscience conscience. now really now now eyes look look into eyes ah. and to lie simply and to lie simply, as everything is as if by forces. i'm talking about the same word there. i'm talking about the same there, i'm talking about the same there in a word, as they say, fuck lost. here i am lost. here i am, here i am trying. trying to understand, to understand how to hire us how it works for us, how it works for us, how do you run away with conviction or conviction all the same or in sitting or all the same? i think i think i think that it is still more necessary than the legs, you need to cross the pric

could never be such traitors and fools as gorbachev and yeltsin far, reaching conclusions are thoughtful, of course, historically. let's fast forward to berlin. mikhail on the chief correspondent in europe on a direct line. hello. mikhail fondryanin announced a new package of sanctions, we just have something to talk about with you, and here the germans are still lamenting that the sanctions have hurt their favorite german products, beer. let's see what it says german press and let's talk. another price storm is approaching before the end of the year in germany will rise in price. even beer up to 30% increase in costs goes beyond all limits. prices elementary soared into the sky with a similar. we have never come across a complaint from the ceo of the german brewers association, holgel aichele according to him, right now german brewers are experiencing incredible price pressure. electricity has risen in price by 250%. brewing malt by 70%, and euro pallets by 150% , said aikheli, there is hardly such an industry, where suppliers would not raise prices or would not themselves fight with rising costs, a constant danger that worries the german brewing in

baker to gorbachev not to expand the fuck james baker promised the president of the ussr mikhail notce to the east, yes, baker was secretary of state, under my father it was many years ago, and therefore the united states. you have to adapt flexibly to the times and that is why now you find such powerful support from our country joe biden, who is 79 years old, flies to japan and south korea to demand this support in diplomatic language. it sounds like the parties are debating a policy to contain russia global semiconductor shortage is a shortage of goods and rising prices around the world in a brutal and unprovoked war. putin in ukraine has further highlighted the need to protect critical supply chains so that our economy does not depend on countries that do not share our values. and this is her understatement intrigue. not only the former hostess of the white house, the white house became my home for a while. i liked to live in it and run the household. it is an honor. it can become your home again. never say never may biden's approval rating is down again . only 39% of americans ap

history, if you believe, if you believe that others thought that the naive mikhail sergeyevich sergeyevich sergeyevich gorbachevletely different partner in daytime party affairs, business affairs, we believe in everything, everything, everything that happened to him , not conscience, not conscience. look, now now in your eyes look in your eyes hey in your eyes. and lie just a beautiful take. just like no, i just sell, i just rolled there, i ’ve already spoken out there with her, i swam there , i’m already talking there, there, which is about plainly i say either for example or or fear fear lost, so i lost trying to understand, i’m really trying to understand, i’m trying to understand how to act this conviction for us how to act for me, then the conviction to act, then the conviction of convictions all the same. i think, i think that everyone still needs to switch to the necessary price to switch to the hamburg, the sixteenth year, and the hamburg shahamburg account. because the persuasion is calling you, you are calling deeper into these deeper into these into these problems our west. the west is not here, that

gorbachev is not clear at all. yes, me too, by the way. i hope that mikhailf a new, no longer mcdonald's, maybe he will shoot a different name in advertising. yes, but there is the name mc mikhail sergeevich yes, well, i think that, well, this is far from a competitor of a competitor from pepsis, hutt pizza, right? and here, probably, there will be baikal yes mc here, uh, kinja offers to take a break, uh, and hang us later, and forty thinks that we should not be hung up now and a second small remark under m-m. you know, under all this talk about that hmm ukraine is a civilization hmm and we are barbarism, we know, i think that in reality, in the same europe, absolutely new concepts begin to erupt, yes, which are very well forgotten, because if you look at what johnson wants and then, what he voices, but this is a return to the role that britain played at the end of the xvi in the first half of the nineteenth year, but to everything else, flavored with the history of the so-called, by the way, still not ra- not yet dissolved the european free trade association
