so he was referring to force to the famous statement of the secretary of state at the time james baker, who said that that nathan want expense not an inch eastward. obviously, since the fall of the believable they thought has been expanding in ways towards the east and this expansion was directed in the 1st row, i guess russia secondary, i would say it goes the service because uh natal wage. the 2 wars, again, serves in the 90s, nato is an aggressive alliance. it is a military alliance, and to say that it's expansion towards the east is not at is not a threat to russia at the moment when all the nato's countries are providing weapons to ukraine. in a, a proxy war or why would say nato and russia is really, they felt really only a ridiculous, but it is. uh, it is very offensive for the intelligence ohio on a human being. and that's are up on the, our thanks for tuning in. there's so much on the radar as of late. so for the latest breaking using updates that over to r t dot com and be sure to follow us on all social media platforms. thanks for joining in. we'll see you back at the top of

such main messages that we will publish were very valuable insights from the retired judge captain james bakered states, about the fact that it is necessary to study international experience, but it is necessary to understand that in other countries, not everything is perfect and not everything can be implemented in us, uh, well, like kalka, that is , we need to develop our programs taking into account our real landscape and the reality of the piety of the state natalya and is there already an understanding of the number of people as of today are veterans, that is, how many people these new programs are about understanding that it will be very difficult to predict how many veterans there will be in the future, but at least about today , if we are talking about, well, look, in fact, who is a veteran according to the law - this is a person who has the status of a participant in hostilities or a disability due to hostilities or is a veteran of service in the armed forces of ukraine and also equates the categories to family members of fallen defenders and defenders as of january of last year in th

so he was referring of course to the famous statement of the secretary of state at the time james baker, who said that nathan want expands not an inch eastward. and this was echoed by a majority of uh, politicians of the time by, by how much cool, uh, prime minister of germany by 100. the ginger also, who used to think of speech on the 31st of january, 1990, a sad that through us the solve yet. so the time should be sure that data wants to expand the east word and he repeated that several times. so what happened was that the, the west actually tricked as virginia ski, said russia, it has deliberately expanded nato. and people such as, let's say, preventive as are of the university of chicago drawing near shame or, or henry kissinger. it said that the sooner or later russia will react to this aggressive, especially because it's a is a direct threat to the security in europe as the director of the russia security. so this, the rest of this narrative about the eastern european exports, so fact or act. so if you have countries, a choosing to go somewhere is absolutely false because they did

and yeah, there was a promise from the secretary of state james baker during the george h w bush presidency to former soviet president, mikhail gorbachev. for nato not to treat europe like a giant slippery waters lie the ends with a big splash down in russia. if gorbachev would be cool with nato troops just have in germany indefinitely, we agreed that there is no intention to expand the needle securities own further to the used the supplies in general. and not only to the german democratic republic, which we do not want to incorporate. and it's not like this issue of nato expansion just suddenly became a point of contention over you. craig way back in 2007 russian president vladimir puts in, was already citing it as a problem. i think it is obvious that nato expansion has no relation with the model and ization of the alliance itself, or with ensuring security in europe. on the contrary, it represents a serious pro location that produces the level of neutral trust. so nato, at this point is like the guy who's camping out on your front lawn while trying to claim that he's just plain neighborh

>> well anderson, i'm old enough, about to turn 70, to have been on secretary of state james baker's plane during the late 80s and early 90s, when the soviet union collapsed. and if you remember the fear that the outside world had about criminality and nuclear weapons, they have some 5000 warheads spilling out of the soviet union. and that was a huge focus that disorder would actually replace the soviet union. and, there was a period of a disorder, and i think when you look at those pictures of russians treating putin like a rock star, i think it does reflect -- it could all be contrived. but my sense is russians deeply remember that period of disorder. and putin's main source of popularity is that he brought order to russia and maintained order. and i would not underestimate that. i think he has a lot of authentic support for that. and if you were replaced, one of three things could happen. you could get someone better, but there is no apparent gorbachev or yeltsin-like figure waiting in the wings, because putin wipe them all up. you could get someone worse. imagine if prigozhin tod

all of a sudden, secretary james baker said are we fell into a trap and so we finally got a peace treaty in paris. in 92. so that's a hard thing to figure out. it's geopolitical. it's also what was your country's role? how did how did this loss in vietnam so pervert our sense of what's important that we could overlook the khmer rouge. and so there's much, much more to it the whole history but anyway that that first trip back was an amazing trip back right. i mean it is so important for us to remember the war in vietnam had this incredibly dynamic and damaging second third order effect in the other countries. one of the things that's come up several times, starting with the early panel, with senators hagel and carrying general eaton, is the lessons vietnam for the post-9-11 wars, iraq and afghanistan and talking about veterans. it just to me that you know the symbol of vietnam veterans coming back is being spat upon and from vietnam and the veterans coming back from afghanistan are lauded and think most veterans i know, of course, think that neither works because, of course, the ones came
