=== U.S. Interventionism Fuels Crisis (04:06) ===

[00:00:03]  Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report Ukraine Crisis A Nightmare Caused by U.S. Interventionism Over the weekend we heard that the U.S. is evacuating its embassy in Kiev for fear of a Russian invasion.
[00:00:23]  We also heard that Russia is evacuating its embassy in Kiev for fear of a U.S.-backed provocation in eastern Ukraine that may lead to a Russian military response.
[00:00:37]  We're in unchartered territory, the media tells us.
[00:00:40]  Yes, that's true.
[00:00:42]  But it is unchartered because no one had ever imagined in the past that the U.S. government would be so foolish to risk the thermonuclear war over the borders of a country, Ukraine, that have changed so many times over the past century.
[00:01:00]  Of all things to draw a line in the sand over, the question of who runs Ukraine or where its borders might be should be pretty near the bottom of the list.
[00:01:10]  An urgent Biden-Putin phone call on Saturday did not lead to any breakthrough.
[00:01:16]  And if anyone thought it would, instead, it provided cover for Biden's administration hawks to claim they tried every diplomatic approach.
[00:01:27]  But war seems to be the only option.
[00:01:31]  But this whole thing is a farce.
[00:01:32]  As I see it, here is the Ukraine crisis in a nutshell.
[00:01:38]  Biden to Putin.
[00:01:39]  Don't invade Ukraine.
[00:01:42]  Putin to Biden.
[00:01:44]  We have no intention of invading Ukraine.
[00:01:48]  Biden to the U.S. media.
[00:01:50]  Putin is about to invade Ukraine.
[00:01:53]  Then Biden's top officials proceed to embarrass themselves by warning that the invasion was imminent or is coming next Tuesday or Wednesday or surely before the end of the Olympics.
[00:02:05]  Does anyone think they have any credibility left with their constant hysterical warning?
[00:02:12]  Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence continues to leak incinerary information to a U.S. media that has lost any interest in skepticism toward any scoop handed by the U.S. government officials.
[00:02:27]  What the media will not report is that this entire crisis and the threat of a serious war has all been brought about by U.S. interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine, specifically the U.S. Baku that overthrew an elected government in 2014.
[00:02:46]  Every bit of unrest in Ukraine proceeded from that single foolish and immoral act by the Obama administration.
[00:02:56]  That is why we are non-interventionists.
[00:02:58]  The philosophy of non-interventionism is one very good piece of insurance protecting us from needless wars.
[00:03:06]  If you don't meddle in the affairs of foreign countries, there is less chance of being dragged in to an unnecessary war.
[00:03:14]  Ukraine is a great example of why non-interventionism is the only pro-American foreign policy.
[00:03:22]  We are risking nuclear war with Russia over what?
[00:03:25]  Ukraine's borders?
[00:03:27]  Surely most Americans see how idiotic this is.
[00:03:32]  The Biden administration is at present shell-shocked that the Russian government did not back down over plans to expand NATO to Ukraine.
[00:03:42]  Russia understandably views NATO membership for Ukraine with its Article 5 guarantees to be an unacceptable threat considering the ongoing border dispute.
[00:03:54]  This is not our fight.
[00:03:56]  Yet Biden's foreign policy team has decided it's a great time to kick the hornet's nest.
[00:04:03]  It's all about Biden's dismal approval ratings.
[00:04:06]  What a sick thing to risk a major war over.
