Folks who think the Russia-Ukraine conflict began on February 24, 2022 may be surprised to learn it's been brewing since 2008. Former NATO Chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen admits in video below "We decided back in 2008, Ukraine WILL become a member of NATO." That decision caused today's troubles.
In the video below, released by "Alliance of Democracies" which was founded by the former NATO Chief, Rasmussen speaks about the present Russia-Ukraine conflict and how NATO is trying to find a way to admit Ukraine even though it is presently at conflict with Russia!
Rasmussen points to the possibility that the US and NATO might give certain "Security Guarantees" to Ukraine BEFORE it is admitted to NATO. The Interviewer asks Rasmussen if such Security Guarantees might be worded similar to those between the US and Israel, and Rasmussen makes a STUNNING admission:
We don't have to use that wording we can use the wording from 2008. "We decided in 2008 Ukraine WILL be admitted to NATO."
At approximately 1m 57s into the video below, he makes that statement. Watch for yourself:
