representative crane would go on to refer to black service representative crane went on to describe with their lives, as quote, colored people, unquote. these words hashingen back to a dark time in our history. representative crane's comment on the house floor was unprofessional, unappropriate and unbecoming of a member of the u.s. house of representatives. furthermore, to have a word like that spoken anywhere but here in the house floor in the year 2023, actually speaks to the very need for diversity, equity and inclusion. sadly in the days since, we have heard from members on the other side of the aisle who have tried to provide cover for representative crane. so we need to be absolutely clear here tonight, for a member of this body to use the words quote, colored people" in this chamber in 2023 is unconscionable and calls for nothing short for full condemnation from the speaker of this body, to the leadership on the other side of the aisle, to those who claim to be allies of the congressional black caucus, your silence is deafening. representative crane has said he misspoke, however h

crane? so i ask, is it truly a coincidence that these specific institutions have been targeted for the battleground, for the dismantling of affirmative action? or is an insidious reminder of our painful history, a pointed jab at the very heart for our struggle for equality and access and opportunity. we have been long -- the african-american community has been in bondage longer than we've ever been free. our exclusion has lasted longer than our inclusion. even half a century after the civil rights act of 1965, we ask ourselves, are we truly free? this timeline, this history, is a testament to our resilience. it is a reminder of our past, a measure of our progress, and a marker of the journey ahead. we stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us, those who fought -- those who have struggled and those who have sacrificed. we owe it to them and to ourselves to keep the flame of justice burning bright. this journey has been long and it is not over. but we will not falter, we will not

the nato gave you crane back in 2008, where they made a similar promise saying that you crane, but eventually joined, but gave them no clear pathway as to how or when, but this promise, this time comes along with much stronger security guarantees. economic guarantees and the promise of long term long term security promises. so that is all good news for him. so i think both sides can walk away. happy. does nato plan on extending a formal invitation to ukraine at some point? so why is it so hard to define a timeline for a future after the war or so as, as many people have mentioned, bringing ukraine into nato right now, is a no go because of article 5, which is the alliance is mutual security guarantee. it basically would create a scenario where nato brings itself into the war. so that's often not one crane is asking for ukraine is always talking about a scenario where this war has ended. exactly. so if the war ends and we're looking, say 5 or 10 years down the road and ukraine does get an invitation to nato and say russia invaded again. then nato allies would be obligated by treaty at that poi

it's just a question of when the right window of opportunity will arise, a crane is a member of nato. so that's natal membership, that is russia's security night, ma'am. scenario that tooting desperately wanted to avoid. actually, one of the reasons he starts is his war begins to create in the 1st place. now is that fear justified, and how serious is the perceived threat to russia? over 1000000, new cranes are currently fighting against russia in peace time, ukraine's army is 200000 strong. those troops would be added to nato's current. the number of 3300000 active soldiers. ukrainian army, trained, and armed by the west, could become one of the best and the defense of alliance. after the war is over. nato territory, which expanded significantly to the east after the cold war would continue to grow on the russian border if you crane were added. it is the 2nd largest european country after russia, southern nato countries with then the direct neighbors with russia. the common border would be extended by almost 2000 kilometers to around $4500.00. this would be the worst case scenario fro

this will change your cranes membership pos from a 2 step process to one step process. as we also made clear that's we will issue an invitation for ukraine to join. they don't when all of us agree and conditions are met for months. now, 2 nations have been haggling over when and how ukraine should be invited to join the alliance. they say it won't happen, follow the war rages because not could bring nature into direct conflict with russia. but some eastern european unbolted countries are calling for a clear or pos for to use. ukraine is using the equipment said that the allies are giving and the munitions, so it is already taking those boxes. so what more can we do in order to really go to that membership? germany and the united states have been more cautious keeping the focus on future security assurances drones this one, it's important to us from the outset that they have a security punches for ukraine that can be effective after piece not could include individual pledges to offer ukraine support in case of further attacks, but not to flight for the country, at least

there's only so much we can do and of course, hit few crane is part of nato. this will drag them all into this war. even though behind the scenes we already know that they're sending so much money. and so much munition. but if you kind of course joins that will complete that they don't want. and again, it seems that so a lot of our zalinski has learned a less no to when it comes to his reaction. because literally think it was about 24 hours later he changed his tune and now he's saying that he's happy with the outcome over the summer, even though of course he's, he's coming out of this, getting nothing in terms of nato membership. just again, the same old problem is, but he things that it is, it's a great outcome. more than one class, the results of the summits are in good spirits. should we receive an invitation, they would be the, the optimum. so he didn't get anything. he got told off in 5 the became a little bit of a life in stock internationally in the process, not what he expected. it seems arts, he's marina considerable with the latest on the nato summi

he wants to put a c ration where you cranes, nato membership becomes a horizon. the more you get closer, the more it moves forward from you. it sounds like the last line of a really frustrating french romance movie to kind of ends without anyone in the audience, really knowing what the couples fate ended up being well ukraine, president, liners whiskey. a former actor himself says that he wants nothing to do with this script. it's unprecedented and absurd when there was no timeframe for either an invitation or ukraine's membership and went instead some strange words in his added to both conditions even for in the voice of ukraine. it looks like there was no readiness either to invite to queen to nato or to make it a member of the alliance because the landscape showed up fully expecting some kind of a ring engagement wedding. whatever i need to didn't even give them one of those little plastic ones with the hard candy soccer on top. well, speaking of being suckered, it seems that the state department spokesman also had a bit of a freudian slip that suggested real

one thing nato countries seem to agree on is that you crane will only be able to join once the finding has stopped. a new crane is pushing hard to end the war, but their counter offensive is only slowly gaining traction to all those wondering what's taking. so long, they have a clear message, give us the right weapons and that victory will come sooner. i'm the confirmation berlin, and this is the day the wallace agreed, the ukraine, the will become a member of the lines. ukraine should be joining nato as soon as conditions allow the most urgent task. now is to ensure that to crane and prevent you such a sovereign an independent nation in the, in your, your top, the president. so once you bought the counter offensive and in some ways it's, it's, it's not going as, especially as he would like the whole of us. we one for to do it faster it, unless you claim provisions. then there is no membership, be sure to be discuss that will also on the day of green lights to sweet and joining nato secretary general and stilton burke says, turkeys presidents now backs the move is completing sweden's a

are nothing more about the same old statements that with her, than statements that you crane has been when we had the summits in book or us were again, they said nato's doors are always open for ukraine and it's been 15 years. a new crane is still by the front door on those door steps and not getting anywhere closer towards going inside. and other promise from nato was the ukraine must prevail in the war. must win this war if it wants to become a member of nato. but how wanna do that? again, these messages, these signals don't indicate how and the west itself and so has stumbled that they don't have enough munitions that they don't have enough uh, soldiers on the ground fighting. so how is ukraine planning to win? this war is unclear and other message that nato stein what does this mean? once again, nothing aside from, as we know more promises to send more money and more weapons, which they know will only prolong the conflicts and results in more casualties. and that will not see crane beneficial one for you praying that that definitely doesn't seem in the horizons. of course. zalinsk

but at least it's clear now what you crane can expect as the wes and its allies, unveiled new security assurances designed to bolster ukraine against russia. ukraine is disappointed it's aspirations of nato membership is off, the car is for now, but president zalinski welcomed what he called a meaningful success and a significant victory for ukraine. but as the war continues in ukraine, the shape the future remains quite, i'm certain, and that's where you as president bind stepped in laying out his vision for the future. the facts of freedom about the work of a day or a year. it's the calling of our lifetime. of all time. we are still further strong ahead. our unity will not fall over. i promise you the world today at the moment of war apparel, a moment of competition and uncertainty, i also see a moment of fun for us. the opportunity and present an opportunity opportunity to make real strides for the world of greater peace and greater prosperity, liberty and dignity. equal justice under the law, human rights and fundamental freedoms which are the blessing, the birthright of all humani
