Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talks to Russell Brand about the U.S. foreign policy establishment's role in starting the Ukraine War and John F. Kennedy's 1963 speech on Russia:

"We were sold on the fact that it was a humanitarian war. We were sold using this kind of formulaic narrative, you know, Putin is an evil Hitler-like figure or Saddam Hussein, or whoever it is that we need to go to war with, and we are the good guys, and this is a humanitarian war... But we have not been acting like it's a humanitarian war... And if you look at history and go back to when the Soviet Union was collapsing, we made a deal with Gorbachev, Britain, and the United States over the reunification of Germany because the Russians had 400,000 troops in Germany.

And we wanted to reunify Germany under NATO, which had been the Russian enemy. So the Russians were naturally worried. And said, if we take our troops out, we want to make sure that you're not getting a beachhead, and you're not going to move NATO into all of our former satellite states and make us feel like we're under attack like we're being encircled. And President Bush famously told them, we will not move NATO one inch to the east. Well, since then, we've moved 1000 miles to the east. And we've incorporated 14 of the Russian former satellites...

They repeatedly said to us, you cannot incorporate Ukraine into NATO. We then unilaterally walked away from our two Intermediate Nuclear Weapons treaties with Russians. We had a treaty saying you can't use Intermediate Nuclear weapons. These were huge steps in progress. And we cancelled both of them unilaterally. We told the Russians, we're not doing that anymore. Then we started surrounding them with these missile systems, we started practicing, you know, incorporating Ukraine into interoperability with NATO forces...

We then help to overthrow the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014 and install a very ultra nationalist, and that is a polite way of describing them as ultra nationalists, you know, a government that is extremely anti Russian. That prompts the Russians to go in and invade Crimea, because they're terrified that now that we have our own government in place there, we're going to put the naval, our US Navy fleet, at a warm water port that they've had for I think, 370 years, it's their only warm water port, it's their way of having a military presence in the Black Sea. They're terrified we are going to go in there so they invade Crimea.

Then the new Ukrainian government comes in and enacts all of these oppressive laws against the ethnic Russian majority in eastern Ukraine. 80% of the people in the Donbass are ethnic Russians. And they were able to have their own language and they felt part of the Ukraine. But suddenly, there's all these laws being passed, saying, you know, that language is no longer any good. You have to speak Ukrainian and treated essentially as redheaded stepchildren. And they start doing protests and the government and reacts violently, and you basically have a civil war in which 14,000 ethnic Russians are killed."
