WHO STARTED THE WARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST-> WOULD THEY DO NASTY THINGS TO RUSSIA?

NOAM CHOMSKY OPINION Noam Chomsky explains how US involvement in Ukraine and the expansion of NATO to Russia's border created the War in Ukraine: "The idea that Ukraine would join a western military alliance would be quite unacceptable to any Russian leader. Gorbachev agreed to allow Germany to join NATO with a quid pro quo that NATO would not expand one inch to the east. NATO instantly moved to east Germany. Then Clinton came along and expanded NATO right to the borders of Russia." REPORTER: You can understand why Ukraine's president would see joining NATO as protecting his country? "No, it's not. Crimea was taken away after the overthrow of the government, right? He's not protecting Ukraine; he's threatening Ukraine with a major war. This is a strategic threat to Russia which any Russian leader would have to react to."

DELIBERATION OF THESE GEOPOLITICAL EVENTS WOULD LEAD ONE TO THE CONCLUSION THAT A WAR IS COMING LIKE IT OR NOT SO PERHAPS ITS WISE TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND SET THE SCENE SO ITS NOT A SURPRISE. Putin once asked to join NATO. He was turned down. It would appear NATO had other plans for him including sanctions and a freeze on SWIFT banking.
