and basses to ration michael mcfall. he's acknowledged that u. s. diplomats were lying to you trading of a possible nato membership. do you think that was the goal of that life? i think they were lying because when i, i remember when the wish russian operations started, when you remember the declaration from keith, they were really expecting that nate was coming in with forces and they were about 2 weeks. they'll screaming every day, but they're waiting for now. to force so i'm quite sure that they promised keith that they would be support like it was in georgia and to funds. and the not didn't want to go that they just did not want it to a proxy war. which could we can russia, which could be used for sanctions and so on. and ukraine is just the victim. and so i agree, i'm sure that they promised key after told that they will come and they will help achieve will enter the matter. but you see it doesn't happen, they're just use and as well. that's the thing. i don't understand what the people in key if they're responsible, don't understand that th

in the past, michael mcfall went to the usa in russia and is now a professor at stanford university, which trains the new generation of american politicians. denis davydov nikolai koshkin and denis lisitsyn news of the week from the united states continuing the american theme, there have long been accustomed to the oddity and reservations of the 79-year-old president biden. on thursday, former us president george w. bush spoke in his style about the causes of the ukrainian conflict, he said the result was a lack of checks and counterweights in russia and one man's decision to start a completely unjustified and brutal invasion of iraq i mean ukraine bush decided to laugh it off, saying that the old man became 75 years old misspoke. well, according to freud, what bush did in iraq was really scary. hundreds of thousands of cubes of the country still can not be directed from the invasion of the american, however, the united states behave unceremoniously and cruelly. wherever the foot of an american soldier steps and carries, they are far from peace and harmony. what the us and its allies

even michael mcfall. uh, speaking here on debates in canada at the munch political debate. only did he admit that american diplomats lie to everyone, including lying to ukraine about the fact that they were supposedly ready . eh, really. uh, join them in nato, so mcfall said that he thinks lloyd austin's statement that the goal of us policy towards russia towards ukraine is to weaken russia is a mistake. yes, that is, this suggests that, at least in the expert community in the united states, there are already certain there are changes, and as we know in american foreign policy, the foreign policy expert community and the state apparatus are very closely connected there, but you know, there were critical statements about publications based on leaks from american e various services about the fact that the american the help is so effective that it helps to kill many russian military personnel and even high. on highfitzers and after that, voices really rang out, that only these were not voices that you and gone crazy. and you think that you are creating these were voices that y

in russia, michael mcfall still heads the stanford university institute and is a former foreign secretarysky. listen to one of episode. i consider the most striking episode of this debate. since 2021, we have been constantly talking about the fact that ukraine will join nato, we have repeated it over and over again, you believed, it turns out our diplomats are lying. yes, yes, this is the real world, gentlemen. wait a minute, it turns out our diplomats are lying, but when they provide guarantees, then russia should believe them. here is my question, if the entry of ukraine into nato is absolutely impossible and russia does not need to worry about it, then why does nato not declare that they have reconsidered this issue and don't want to see ukraine as a member of nato if that never happens, why don't they do something to stabilize the situation, because that would serve as an invitation for russia to start an invasion. it seems to me that this has already happened. vladimir alekseevich, how do you like this well, in general, you know that i am always a supporter of a demonstration, not we
