Hi everybody thank you very much for coming out today.

The Russia Ukraine war is a catastrophe.

There's a very real risk. is a between NATO and Russia, a war which could kill billions of people.

We demand a cease fire and negotiations now.

And yes, this war was provoked.

That's the title of the book I'm working on now.

It's 540 pages so far, and that's the abridged version.

Here's the even shorter version.

Bush Sr. made a promise at the end of the Cold War not to extend the NATO Military Alliance east into the

former Warsaw Pact states.

But he was lying.

It was a promise that was made to be broken.

When Bill Clinton came in, he inflicted a policy called shock therapy on the Russian economy, which absolutely destroyed it and led to the deaths of millions,

literally millions of excess deaths in the 1990s. He also rigged the election of 1996 to prevent the

people of Russia from throwing out Boris Yeltsin who had helped the Americans to inflict this policy on them.

He also backed bin Laden's Mujah Hadin in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Chechnya.

And he expanded NATO in 1999, bringing in Hungary, Poland,

and the Czech Republic. The great Ron Paul, congressman from Texas at the time warned

that this would not strengthen NATO but weaken it by provoking right-wing nationalist ethnic backlash

against the new order in Europe.

W Bush sponsored color-coded revolutions in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan.

Thank you.
