How top U.S. officials played key roles in destabilizing Ukraine and damaging U.S.-Russia relations By Jeff Carlson and Hans Mahncke March 4, 2022 Updated: March 4, 2022biggersmaller Print News analysis As war rages in Ukraine following the invasion by Russia, the realities on the ground are difficult to assess-it is estimated that thousands have been killed, including hundreds of civilians, and up to a million forced to flee their homes. Although Russian President Vladimir Putin is rightly deserving of blame, top U.S. officials over the past decade have played important roles in critical events that undermined U.S. relations with Russia and resulted in the destabilization of Ukraine. The deterioration in our relations with Russia, in many ways started with President George W. Bush in 2008 when he dangled before Ukraine the promise of NATO membership during the Bucharest declaration, boldly claiming, “We agreed today that these countries will become members of NATO.” The promise of NATO membership for Ukraine was something that has never been taken lightly by Russia, which has remained resolutely opposed to any NATO expansion along its borders. In 1990, U.S. Secretary of State James Baker and German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher had promised the Kremlin not to expand NATO eastwards in return for German unification. However, in the decades that followed this promise, NATO incorporated 14 additional Eastern European countries. In his 2020 memoir, Joe Biden’s current CIA director, Bill Burns, explicitly warned about the dangers posed by Ukraine gaining NATO membership, citing his own words in 2008 to then-Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice: “Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). ” “In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests,” he wrote Ukraine’s Long-standing Political Troubles In addition to its geographic importance as a centuries-old buffer territory between the East and West, Ukraine is a resource-rich country with an abundance of agriculture exports and large supplies of minerals, iron ore, and coal. Yet despite this, Ukraine’s political upheavals and influence from powerful oligarchs have meant that it is also one of the poorest countries in Europe. Ukraine’s per-capita nominal GDP stands at around $3,500 compared to the European average of $31,000. Rampant governmental corruption has only served to make a difficult situation worse. Ukraine has been through two significant revolutions since it gained independence in 1991. The first revolution occurred in 2004 when the apparent winner of the presidential election, Viktor Yanukovych, a candidate favored by Russia, was unseated. Yanukovych made a political comeback in 2010 when he again won the presidential election. However, Yanukovych was deposed yet again in Feb. 2014, when a U.S.-supported coup installed a new government in Ukraine. Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the candidate pushed forth by the United States, was installed as Ukraine’s prime minister, but would resign two years later amid corruption accusations. The 2014 Maidan Revolution has been portrayed as a triumph of democracy over oppression, but this characterization ignores that the resulting coup culminated in the removal of a democratically elected leader of Ukraine. Ukraine, which became a focal point of a new cold war with Russia, led many American officials to willfully ignore a dangerous rise in fascist sentiments and Neo-Nazi movements within the country. Andriy Parubiy, co-founder of the fascist Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU), recently served as the chairman of the Ukrainian parliament, from April 2016 until August 2019. The ideology of Parubiy’s SNPU, which he co-founded in 1991 with Oleh Tyahnybok, now the current leader of the ultranationalist Svoboda party, was radical nationalism and neo-Nazism. Parubiy was the “commander” of the Maidan Revolution, which led the various Maidan paramilitary units, and his forces played a material role in the U.S.-backed coup that led to the overthrow of Yanukovych. The growth of a fascist movement in a country that was serving as the battleground for a new cold war between the U.S. and Russia should have raised many alarms. But rather than distancing themselves from these elements, Western leaders appeared to embrace them. Indeed, Senator John McCain met with ultranationalist leader Tyahnybok in the lead-up to the 2014 coup and Vice President Joe Biden met with Tyahnybok shortly thereafter in April 2014. And in June of 2017, Parubiy was inexplicably invited to Washington, where he met with a number of American politicians, including McCain and House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Proof Starkey is a treasure and Nana is always a good interviewer. She always improves any show she appears on. Could listen to them all day long. As an ordinary bloke I feel so fortunate to be able gain knowledge from these broadcasts.
To our benefit. I watch no tv, only websites and UA-cam. Starkey posts several videos a week, I watch more of him now than before his cancelling - thank you Cancellors!!!
David Starkey should have his own segment on GB News maybe every Thursday 8pm titled “British Values and History”; discussing with various guests past and current issues.
Very delicately and professionally handled by Nana. There are interviewers that would have attempted to make hay with Dr Starkey's explanation. I felt he was walking a tightrope at times.
Love love his podcast Utube channel... His description and clarity on historical facts (akin to the acclaimed Sowell in the US) is unflinchingly brave and unapologetically patriotic. (PS and goes down even better with a glass+ of red LOL)
I love how the more on-form Starkey is, the more wound up his detractors become. Love him or loathe him, he knows his history and is too well-liked to be smeared into obscurity, like the liberal media tried oh-so hard to do because of his harmless comments on 'blacks'.
Good interview Nana is definitely a good signing, authoritative but courteous letting the subject talk Let's have more of a similar calibre of guest interviewed by Nana
Nana’s great talent is to listen to the views of others and allowing us, the viewers to be gently guided by her through her guests views and knowledge. Bravo an excellent presenter and commentator.
Great fellow, Starkey! It is revealing that he began in the physical sciences. His emphasis on evidence is commendable and very different from some writers I read.
I know the feeling of correcting my teacher, this was in secondary school, she was a terrible history teacher. I pointed out that Henry VIII had a brother called Arthur who was married to Catherine of Aragon before Henry, she said that he didn’t have a brother, I just pointed to Arthur’s name in my child history book of the Kings and Queens of England, at the small family tree of the Tudors , she didn’t say a word and walked off. She was the reason why I quit history GCSE because I wasn’t learning anything from her.

Yeah globalisation is certainly a lasting impact of empire building even after its collapse but whilst the UK has a lot of soft power, it lacks a hard power, so London no longer holds the cards. In Victorian times, with the most powerful Navy in the world, things were different in that sense.
@ 9:26: "People think if they say something on Twitter, they've done something". Exactly - sadly. Anyone remember the days of signing a circulated, printed petition, putting it in an envelope, adding a stamp and walking to a box to post it? I rather think that called for a little more - less virtually-signalling - commitment.
The problem with using the word dam is that it can be used in two ways, to emphasise a point or to condemn something. People who are professionals in finding racism often find it where it doesn’t exist.
Unusual paring but worked beautifully. She asked the questions and let David do his thing!
